I use keepassdroid on a Nexus 7 pad with Android 4.2 (JB) and multiple user profiles. Every time I switch from Chrome to Keepass, the database has locked itself so I have to re-authorize myself to get access. Is this intentional? I expected the "Application timeout" setting to give me a bit of slack, eg if I'm scanning several different sites quickly, but even if I just switch and go back a few seconds later, I have to re-authenticate. Pretty tedious!

Same issue here. I have no idea how to fix it though. I've set it to never time out, but it does anyway.

Press the back key and it will go back to your opened database. Or use the task manager to open the already opened app.

If your phone runs out of memory, it will kill KeePassDroid closing the database regardless of whether or not the timeout is passed.

I was the original poster on this thread. Somewhere in the intervening time, this issue has fixed itself. I don't know if it's been patched in Android or in Keepassdroid, but the process described in the previous post works now.

Just don't 'back' out of Keepassdroid itself, that will cause it to close the db.

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S4 and my KeePass Droid keeps closing even with the application timeout set to never.  It did not have this problem with my old phone HTC Evo.  How can I keep from re-entering password every time.  It is especially tedious right now because I am setting up the new phone and there are multiple logins for apps and features.
