@Marko Koschak How can I use a key file for entering my master key? I wrote my master key in a file passw.pw in /home/nemo where ls -la passw.pw shows:

-rwx------ 1 nemo privileged 15 Nov  4 16:06 passw.pw

• But OwnKeepass moans "wrong password", both if I terminate the password file with a newline or not.
• It is also unclear to me, if OwnKeepass understands that I selected a key file, as it persist asking for a password (so to say, the GUI does not visibly react to my input of a path to pass.pw,).

Just now I help myself by writing the master password as a Note, then cut-and-paste, what of course should never happen for any password! But a complex password is hard to type with my thick fingers!
