Rated 5 out of 5
by Ardb, 4 years agoMy previous opinion was wrong. I realized that sometimes it collides with browser's native password management. And of course the extension is very sensitive to url format, including correct protocol (https vs http) which is actually a virtue! After a bit of struggle I must say that this extension performs very well (on Debian)
I'm leaving my old opinion, maybe it will help someone:
Does not fill username nor password on almost all sites (keepass icons on user/pass fields is sometimes grayed out, sometimes not but it doesn't matter. Firefox or Chrome? Doesn't matter. Fill option doesn't work, keyboard shortcut doesn't work when database is connected (but password generator works!). No KeepassXC option in right-click menu. Surprisingly it works correctly for github (the only working site I found in my basket) which ensures me that I perfectly know what I'm doing.

posted 4 years agoProbably the OS keyboard shortcuts collide with the ones in the extension's. You can modify the shortcuts from your browser. If the filling does not work, the issue seems that you are using incorrect URL's in your entries. You must define them with the simplest form possible. For example a page with URL https://www.example.com/login_page/ works great with entry URL defined as https://example.com. That works as a wildcard for https://*.example.com/*.
For Debian it's recommended to use the PPA or AppImage because the default repository often offers an old KeePassXC version.

- Rated 3 out of 5by sonofevil, 2 hours 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19944620, 3 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13120063, 17 days agoWill not work with current version of Firefox and Ubuntu 25.04. I have used this for years. Sad to see Mozilla can not keep up.

- Rated 5 out of 5by evtldocha, a month 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, a month ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by RD, a month agoThe add-on doesn't work in the Flatpak browser. Otherwise, I like KeePassXC :)

posted a month 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

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cangrejo, 5 months agoBest password manager ever.
I know this depends of Keepassxc development, but it would be nice if card info can be stored. - Rated 5 out of 5by elsenfox, 5 months ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19733088, 5 months agoEigentlich gut, aber umständlich, funktioniert bei vielen Websites einfach mal gar nicht, das Felderkennungs-Tool zum Zuweisen ebenfalls nicht und kostet daher viel Zeit und Nerven in der Benutzung. Daher kann ich ebenso schnell und gut aus KeepassXC kopieren und einfügen und brauche mich nicht mit diesem AddOn herumschlagen; leider!
