I have several entries where the URL is different but the password is the same. Changing one password changes it for all sites. This works when I use KeePass itself to populate username and password. It does not work with the Kee browser plugin.

Search in the forum and you will see that this is not supported in Kee.

See the [Placeholder handling](https://forum.kee.pm/t/placeholder-handling/1100) documentation.

I wouldn’t recommend using it if you can avoid it - especially when the most common use case for this in KeePass is already covered by the ability to assign multiple URLs to a single entry. Although it can be useful at least as a temporary measure when a complex field reference setup is already in use in your database.

Wow, I consider myself a Kee(Pass) power user but never found that option to add additional URLs to an entry! Was it always there?

I just signed up here to thank you!

Sorry, but a user which doesn’t know about using multiple URLs for Auto-type  
isn’t really a Power user 😉  
This feature is availble since ages.
