![]() Unfortunately KeePassXC has not yet been audited by an external security company, read more in their FAQ. The official browser integration for the KeePassXC password manager is developed and maintained by the KeePassXC developers themselves. Using the extension you will remove the need for the passwords to be saved in clear text to the browser or to trust in a commercial online password manager provider. This is instead done simply with a few clicks from the UI provided by the extension within your browser, no copy-pasting needed! The extension allows the user to easily to log in to an online service via browser, using the username and password from the password manager, without needing to manually input the username and password. You can also get the package for the plugin via Debian packages if you wish. The extension is currently available for Chromium based browsers as well as Firefox and Edge. For a long time the online password managers had the advantage of good browser integrations, since they are by definition made for online use, making them the go-to solution for the basic user.įortunately the makers of KeePassXC didn’t just accept this situation but started working on their own official browser integration. ![]() To manage all the complex passwords needed for the services you use you should let a password manager do all the hard work.Īt Seravo we prefer to use offline password managers such as the open source KeePassXC, which is the modern fork of the older and still popular KeePass-project. One of the cornerstones on how to keep yourself secure in the modern world is to use strong passwords + 2FA and encrypted communication methods when living your life on the net. Unless you're a Mac user, the venerable and feature-rich Keepass (the original) will run well for you (Linux and Windows), and can easily be transformed into a Lastpass-killer when you pair it up with Keefox for browser integration.Happy Free Software Day and thank you KeePassXC for your awesome work! <3 As long as you securely sync your database (e.g. And that's because if you use Tresorit, Spideroak or Cryptomator, the company you host the file with won't even know they are syncing it for you, cannot lose it through a hack (or it won't matter if they do), and can't be subpoenad to give it away to law enforcement.īut two problems might come up with the otherwise excellent Keepass/Keefox setup: with Tresorit, Spideroak or Cryptomator involved), you have a huge security/privacy advantage over commercial products like Lastpass, 1Password, Roboform, Keeper and Dashlane. Its database format is compatible with native Mac apps like KeepassX, KeeWeb and MacPass. But these don't have browser integration. If you use Firefox as your browser - and it's still the best/most privacy-oriented browser out there (if you configure it right) - your Keefox extension might soon stop working because the way Mozilla plan on implementing browser extensions. KeepassXC (this thing) solves this problem. Firstly, it runs the same on Windows, Mac and Linux. Secondly, it is compatible 100% with databases used by Keepass, KeepassX, MacPass and Keeweb. And, crucially, it has browser integration through two browser addons: Passifox (for Firefox) and ChromeIPass for Chrome/Chromium (but it works with much more private browsers, like Vivaldi, Iridium and Ungoogled Chromium. KeepassXC is, at the time of writing (5th March 2017), the best cross-platform password manager I know. It's free, stores your data locally (or leaves the choice up to you how to sync it) and has browser integration.
