Keepassxc: Add an email field to entries (so email doesn't have to always be put into notes)

[MountainX]

Summary

Login credentials for many sites includes both a username and an email address (in addition to password). I find the is common at banks and PayPal when setting up a sub-user account. For example, on PayPal business accounts, when I add users, the login field is cannot be an email address, but entering an email address is required for some functions.

Is it possible to add "email" as a formal field along with username, title, etc.? Or is the database standard set in stone?

Desired Behavior

Each entry includes the following fields which users can input values into:

• Title
• Username
• Password
• Repeat Password
• Email
• URL
• Expires
• Notes

Possible Solution

Add the email field to the database definition.

Consider whether a checkbox is needed to determine whether automated site login (via browser connector, etc.) is done via username or email (when both contain values and the values are distinct).

Context

This is important for sites where login username and email are separate and distinct values. The example I gave above was sub-user accounts on PayPal business accounts. But this is something I encounter frequently. Having a piece of critical login info in the notes isn't ideal in my experience. A formal field for it would be preferable.

This will be handled when entry templates are implemented. There is little value outside of these small edge cases to have both a username and email field.

Thank you. I reviewed issue #863. That will be very nice!

I am planning to migrate to Keepassxc and this was one of the first things i've noted to be missed. There are plenty of places, where you sign up with an email but login with a username. I am always adding the email i've signed up with to any of my entries. So having a field for email by default would be great feature.
