Keepassxc: Support immediate expiration of entry

[karstendf]

Hi all,

Context

I'm using keepassX(C) for storing TANs (one entry per TAN).
Once used, I want to set them to 'expired' with current date / time.

Expected Behavior

I can think of two relatively simple options:

• hopefully simplest: Add "now" to entry expiration presets in 'Edit entry' mask
• more handy: Add 'Expire entry now' to entry context menu

(The luxury version which I'm not really suggesting here would be to have entries marked as TANs and auto-expire them once the password is copied. For reference, the original keepass2 has a very comprehensive TAN handling in place.)

Current Behavior

In 'Edit entry' mask, I use expiration preset 'tomorrow', then change the date by one day backwards.
That's no big issue, but if it can be simplified with small effort, it may be worth while.

TAN refers to Transaction Authentication Number, for future reference.

Why do you even need to keep the entries around? Wouldn't simply deleting them be good enough?

good question - because I want to keep track of when they've been used.. sort of mimicking the behavior of keepass2

By default the expiration date is set to the creation date of an entry, this will always be less then the actual time so the entry will be expired.
Just edit a non-expired entry and enable the Expires check without changing the date.

If you have previously changed the expiration date this obviously don't works.
I think a Now preset won't hurt anyone

Yep, that works, but then the expiration date is equal to the creation date - which doesn't help much for tracking. I guess the history would still show when the entry was changed, however I was just looking for some convenience ;-)
Would be great if you could implement a Now preset!
