Keepassxc: Search for password

[ItTakesTwo]

It would be helpful if you could search for passwords to find accounts that need to be updated in case of a compromised password that has been used multiple times.

Well, if the same password wasn’t used multiple times on different places to begin with that wouldn’t be a problem, would it? So, with that in mind I'd like to suggest a different feature. What about providing a way of showing all the entries which share the same password in the database, so the user can easily locate and update them before it's too late?

One of the big advantages of using a password manager, is that it gives you the ability of having different strong passwords for every single thing, with basically zero additional effort.

Seems related to #551

That's absolutely corrent magkopian. A function to show duplicates is fine with me.
Yes that feature would be a duplicate to https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/551 so I guess my issue can be considered as such.

There's also another use case for searching for password that I recently ran into. I was informed from an external source that one of my passwords was compromised, and it gave me the first few and last characters of the compromised password but not the originating source (i.e. it came from a password dump). Now I don't reuse passwords at all, so a duplicate finder is of no help. What I was looking for was to be able to find the site/account associated with that compromised password so I could then change the password.

In the upcoming v2.4 you can search for passwords using: password:[search string]. You can use wildcards and regex as well.
