en | Using KeeFox | Alternative URLs

To make one of your KeePass entries match when KeeFox detects a page with a particular URL you can normally just set the main entry's URL field to the correct address. The default behaviour will match any entry that has a URL on the same hostname as the page you are visiting but sometimes you'll want to make an entry match more or fewer URLs.

You can do this through the KeeFox / URLs tab in the KeePass edit entry dialog box. There are two main features on this tab:

1. Require more accurate URL matching: Enable this option if you need to limit URL matching to just one page or if you want to control which pages match by using a "regular expression" (see below).

2. Add a URL to a list of URLs to match or block: Click the "Add" button to bring up a dialog box containing a few options. You can set the actual URL or pattern you want to control, tick a box to say whether you are listing a standard URL or a regular expression and set whether a match on this URL should mean that the entry is sent to KeeFox as a matching entry or whether the entry should be ignored (blocked).

A regular expression is a way to describe a pattern that could match many different URLs - you might have seen a similar (simpler) concept in use when you work with files on your computer (e.g. the pattern "*.mp3" matches all files that end with a "mp3" extension, regardless of the actual name of the file).
