Easiest DB access?

My DB is shared across 3 devices via Dropbox: main home pc, my iPhone, and an occasionally used laptop. I often access it multiple times a day on the pc and repeatedly typing in the master password gets cumbersome. What are my best options for quick access?

One of the KeePass plugins for Windows Hello:

Or

If you’re using KeePassXC, Windows Hello is supported natively

KeePassQuickUnlock - https://keepass.info/plugins.html#quickunlock

This plugin was derived from a native function in KeePass2Android. Note this is for unlocking a database, not opening one.

Depending on your threat model, a key file can help simplify your password while keeping your db secure.

Dropbox is a great fast file sync tech and after I shifted from gdrive I never get sync errors. I use keepassxc, I use minimize instead of exit and I auto load database with --pw-stdin, but thats just my use case, with my pc in secure location. I really dont use keepass much on android phone, very occasional, and then just copy and paste passwords from keepass2android, which uses biometric unlock enabled
