Passhole is a CLI interface for KeePass 1.x (v3) and 2.x (v4) databases with support for dmenu.
Passhole allows you to edit and generate passwords much in the same way as the popular pass utility.
Passhole can also generate correct horse battery staple style passwords, which have plenty of entropy (when using 5 or more words) and are easier to type out manually than random alphanumeric passwords.

Passsword or keyfile incorrectIf you are not using a keyfile, it can be your password cache that is incorrect. You can try some of the following options:
--nocache: it should prompt for the password--nokeyfile: it should skip trying to open the db with a keyfile- delete ~/.cache/passhole_cache : it's an encrypted file containing the db password
