Open external links in a container by Denys H

by DeronLJ, 5 years agoI have been waiting for something like this for a long time. I can finally set up my password manager to open different accounts on the same site in different containers.
Edit 09 May 2020
Here is an example you can share. I use KeePass 2 password manager, which allows an override URL for specific entries. I have two Amazon accounts, which I open in different containers. In the Override URL field of both, I put
cmd://{FIREFOX} ext+container:name={GROUP}&url="{URL}"
The entry I put in KeePass' Work folder automatically expands to
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" ext+container:name=Work&url=https://smile.amazon.com/
The entry I put in KeePass' Personal folder expands to
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" ext+container:name=Personal&url=https://smile.amazon.com/
Exceptionally useful.

posted 5 years agoThank you! This is a very interesting use case, do you mind if I share it in the description as an example? Also, can I ask, what kind of password manager do you use?
