You can install KeePass on Ubuntu using the keepass2 package. This can be a bit weird on Linux and MacOS, but not that big deal! Therefore, it has the native look-and-feel of a Windows program. It officially supports macOS and Linux operating systems through the use of Mono, which is an open source implementation of Microsoft’s. KeePass is written in C# (.NET framework). However, it has some issues that set me off on a path to explore alternatives. It has integrations with browsers, and a decent feature set. So, you only have to remember the master key to unlock the database. ![]() You can store all your passwords in a secure database, which is locked with a master key. Its time to look for a replacement! Issues with KeePassįirstly, it is worth mentioning that KeePass does a lot of things well. To avoid accidentally sending your user+pass somewhere you don't want, and also if you need to check "Remember me on this site" for instance.KeePass was my first choice password manager, but as time went by, I noticed that it has some persistent issues. seems a no-brainer to add this code)Īlso a good idea IMO to change default key sequence to: (I don't know why this functionality is not built-in to KeePass tbh. To solve the second problem, you can install the KeePass plugin WebAutoType to make KeePass be able to read the browser URL and match on the password entry URL field. Second, KeePass does not have access for reading the browser URL field, so it cannot determine what entry to auto-type unless you match on Window name, which is tricky unless you manually edit each entry title to match properly. The default for Autotype is Ctrl+Alt+A which for me conflicts with "Show Address Bar". Some interesting reading I found here:įor one thing, you need to make sure that the Global Autotype hotkey in KeePass does not conflict with any Vivaldi hotkeys. I just open it from my Speed Dial and the connector fills in the credential’s automatically, KeePass just need to run in the Systray, I never need to open it.Īuto-type in KeePass 2.50 works OK here, without any added (potentially insecure) browser extensions, but you do need a plugin for KeePass.īut it's always been troublesome to get working properly. It fills the Username and password filed automatically on every site that I have in he database and I can save new Sites to the database from Vivaldi.īTW: I don't have to go to KeePass to open a Website. Insecure? The Database and the browser are on my machine, so what is insecure?Īnd the most important thing, it works like a charm. Outdated maybe, but it is still a two-way connection, I don't know of a second Extension or Plugin for Vivaldi that can do that. The only downside is, that you have to add new credentials (to the database) manually And this small extension which adds better url detection (this combination works like a charme since years for me) ![]() ![]() ![]() Probably he means this plugin but as far as I remember, this method to fill your credentials is outdated and insecure.Īs I would also recommend you to try auto-type. Where do I find it and/or what do I have to do? what is a " KeePassHttp-Connector in Vivaldi" and a " KeePassHttp Plugin in KeePass"?
