by Firefox user 12132524, 8 years agoI had some initial trouble getting this to work with my Firejail configuration, but that's not terribly surprising. It's connecting over STDIN rather than HTTP, and an overzealous sandbox is going to have some trouble with that. I think part of the problem might have been that I was blocking the /tmp directory where the KeePassXC socket lives, so if anyone is having the same niche issue, try unblocking that.
Anyway, my several minutes of sandbox fumbling aside, this has been a great successor to PassIFox and KeePassHTTP-Connector so far. I love that KeePassXC now has a "match URL scheme" option, so I would have passwords filled on say, "https://google.com" and not "http://google.com", and I appreciate that it doesn't autofill by default and tends to require me to click a bit in the username field first, unless I configure it otherwise. It's an ideal balance between convenience and security. I hope to see this add-on carry on for years.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Richard, 8 days agoI really love Keepass and have used it for years. I really wish that there was a way to link/connect it to a web browser. So far I have not found any working method to get passwords out of keepass other than copy/pasting from the program apart from on an iPhone.

posted 7 days agoThere are two ways you can get credentials out from KeePassXC: using the browser extension, or using Auto-Type. Please refer to our documention for guides: https://keepassxc.org/docs/ - Rated 5 out of 5by Blood-Art, 14 days ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by sonofevil, 20 days ago"Error! Credentials cannot be saved or updated to a closed database."
Then open it. Prompt me for the database password. Why can the DB be opened on demand to retrieve passwords, but not to save them? I should not be expected to keep my database open all the time. That is an obvious security vulnerability. So I have it configured to close after 30 seconds. I do not understand why this Addon is so hostile to on-demand database access.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by evtldocha, 2 months agoThanks for this extension!
One remark: though firefox now honors XDG config settings in $HOME/.config/mozilla/firefox (on Linux) the extension creates a $HOME/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts. I'd like so see all config for an application on one single place only. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12539057, 2 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by RD, 2 months agoThe add-on doesn't work in the Flatpak browser. Otherwise, I like KeePassXC :)

posted 2 months agoActually there's already pull requests made for a websocket connection mode in both extension and KeePassXC. It works with Flatpak browsers. So it's coming :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Matthieu, 2 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Abdiel, 2 months agoIt only has offline support. On Linux the configuration is a mess. Sometimes It doesn't talk with my desktop app. Remote support should also be added, so 1 star. I also noticed this while using it: not everything is handled within the browser. When the master password is requested, It switches to the KeepassXC desktop window which makes the experience less convenient. MasterPassword could instead be entered through a small pop-up inside the browser. This is what I would have preferred.

posted 2 months agoThe whole idea of the extension is that it talks to the desktop app. It has no direct connection to your database, and it will never ask your master password. - Rated 5 out of 5by toorootoot, 2 months ago
