There’s a Chrome extension as well as a Firefox extension available.
Ugh, your video doesn't support the video tag. With the extension installed you can just visit a site and if you have an entry for it in KeePassXC it will prompt you to automatically fill in the username and password. Luckily the KeePassXC team have created browser extensions for both Chrome and Firefox to make it trivially easy to use. The most important part of making this a frictionless adoption is having integration with your browser.

It’s also wild to see just how many logins/passwords you accumulate in your digital life (I’m up to about 65 unique entries at the moment - and most of those would have been variations or the same password not too long ago!). What’s great is that thanks to my new Nextcloud server, I keep the password file there to sync with all of my machines (even my iPhone). If I’m really concerned about possibly having to manually enter the password somewhere else, I can make arbitrarily long and random passphrases as well (i.e., cold riverbank outcome shrubbery display stoplight upfront). It’s now trivially easy for me to make all of my passwords quite complex (or at least with a nice high entropy of at least 90bits or more). If the URL is listed with my database entry, it prompts to fill in the username/password for me when I visit the site.
There’s also a browser extension that communicates with the client allowing access to passwords right in the browser, securely. They’ve got clients for all the major OS and there’s an iOS app ( MiniKeePass ( iTunes), also GPL). It keeps your passwords in a local encrypted file ( AES, Twofish, ChaCha20).

The project is Free Software ( GPL) and was forked from KeePassX due to stalled response from its single maintainer. There are several well-regarded options for password managers out there, including popular ones like LastPass and 1Password but they’re not Free Software.Īfter a big of digging I finally heard enough good comments about KeePassXC that I figured it was worth a shot.Īfter about two months of using it, my main thought is: why on earth did I wait so long to do this? I need a client across any OS I might be using, including my phoneĪs much as possible, integrate with my browser or at least be easy to get my passwords I had a couple of convenience factors that I needed to be available before I could make the switch, though: The trick was to realize that I’d be able to replace all of my usernames+passwords with a single master password. Partially out of paranoia and FUD, and probably a bit of worry in giving up control over so many logins. I avoided using a password manager for a long time. Sure, I can abuse the “Forgot Password?” button on any of the myriad of sites I might visit and forget about, but that wreaks havoc when I have accounts tied to apps.
I can measure some of my password ages in years. I have trouble remembering my anniversary date, much less the complex password for a website I log into once per quarter (October 25 th in case my wife is reading). I rely on muscle-memory helping me with passwords that I have to use multiple times every day. The problem is that doing those things is hard.
