- Rated 1 out of 5by Daniel, 3 years agoThough the plugin is connected with the database it doesn't work correctly. It provides no credentials, no matther which website i'm using.
Developer response
posted 3 years agoUsually the issue is with the entry URL's. The simpler URL, the more it matches. It's not suggested to use full URL's with path, variables etc. included. Just use addresses like https://example.com, https://subdomain.example.com or https://example.com/login.
If you cannot solve the problem, contact us on GitHub and make a new issue with details provided, thanks. - Rated 1 out of 5by Kraig, 3 years agoWould not fill in any sites that I went to. There seems to be a disconnect somewhere between the extension and KeePassXC. I like the idea of KeePass, but I need a way to use it with my browser. I see lots of people have this issue. Please fix.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15613985, 3 years agoThis addon stablishes connection with google and amazon without any warning to user
Developer response
posted 3 years agoKeePassXC-Browser does not establish connections to either Google or Amazon. What you are seeing is most likely this: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/issues/100
Firefox has a habit of forking native messaging processes without dropping previously established connections first, so it looks like the new process holds connections to other servers, when it fact it doesn't. That is a Firefox bug and nothing we can fix. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17086033, 3 years agoThis addon works by connecting to the KeepassXC program and filling login fields with the passwords from the Keepass vault.
It works extremely poorly for a number of reasons:
First: It does not reliably connect to the KeepassXC program. It will occasionally disconnect and require you to restart KeepassXC before connecting again.
Second: The password fill feature fails far more often than it works. I would estimate that I can only successfully fill password forms on 5 to 10% of the websites I visit.
Third: When the auto-fill feature does work, it is frequently followed by an erroneous "your password has changed" prompt asking if you want to create a new entry for the site you literally just filled in.
Fourth: The user interface is minimalist to a fault. You are given no indication as to why the program cannot or will not fill the password fields. Is it because it doesn't think I have a password for the domain? Has it lost the connection? Is there some invisible blocking me from clicking on the password icon? There is no way to tell, the addin simply doesn't respond.
I am using KeepassXC 2.6.6 and browser extension version 1.7.9.1Developer response
posted 3 years agoThank you for the feedback. If any of these issues are not solved, please open a ticket at GitHub.
First: This sounds like the keepassxc-proxy that is transferring the messages between the extension and KeePassXC is shutdown. This might be due to anti-virus software or some other process that interferes with it. The next time this happens, check if the process is running.
Second: Please use as simple URL's as possible in your entries. If the site you're using is for example https://loginpage.example.com/login/something?yes=no, the best entry URL for this kind of page is https://loginpage.example.com/login/, https://loginpage.example.com (or just https://example.com).
Third: This means even after filling it doesn't regognize an entry from that page. Verify the page and entry URL again.
Fourth: Yes. It's very minimal. Notifications on why the filling doesn't work needs to be added so there's some indication to the user why nothing happens. If you've lost the connection totally, the icon should be gray with and X (or gray with a lock icon if database is closed). - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17081499, 3 years agoDoesn't do anything expected such as aid or simplify autofill of names and passwords. The concept is quite convoluted when it comes to setup and configuring. Might want to start from scratch or just focus on perfecting the software and forget the addon if you can't get it to work.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Arktor, 3 years agoThe login/password is almost never auto-filled by this extension in websites login/password fields. It works only on a very few sites (like Paypal for example).
I tried with the snap version, and the ppa version of KeepassXC, I got the latest version of it, ran the script when needed, nothing worked.
Keepass2 with Kee extension works perfectly on every webpage, so I went back to it. Shame because the installation of keepass2 with mono on linux is a pain, compared to the simple snap install of KeepassXC.Developer response
posted 3 years agoPlease double check your entry URL's. For the best compatibility, use only the main domain, for example https://paypayl.com. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14537138, 4 years agoThanks for the welcome. I took the dummies way out and just removed it. Thanks for the help.

posted 4 years agoDid you mean the "Connect" button? Please check the Troubleshooting Guide at https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/wiki/Troubleshooting-guide or make a new GitHub issue if the problem is not solved. Thanks. - Rated 1 out of 5by corin_mp, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Loky, 4 years agoA pain in the Ass !!
It work like one time every 20 time !! Most of the time I have to use the copy/past function of KeepassXC!
On another review you said :
"Did you know that copy/paste with passwords is not very safe. Almost every application has direct access to your clipboard. Our extension is a great way to prevent that kind of stealing. Auto-Type is another good option for you."
But what "great way"? As it never work, your extension is garbage as much as copy/past a password !!!Developer response
posted 4 years agoAnd have you figured out why it doesn't work? If you have read any GitHub issues lately, KeePassXC 2.6.1 has a bug that affects the extension. While waiting for 2.6.2 you can downgrade to 2.6.0. This error has nothing to do with the extension itself.
Another great way is to use Auto-Type and dismiss the extension totally if this doesn't suits you. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13041271, 4 years agoWaste of time. It's less hassle to cut and paste from Keepass manually

Mittlerweile ist selbt unser Administrator am Verzweifeln. Ich werde mir ein anderes Programm zur Passwortverwaltung suchen, denn das jetztige ist das Gegenteil einer Arbeitserleichterung! Ich bin von KeePass einfach nur noch enttäuscht und frustriert.

posted 4 years ago(There might be errors because this went through G-translate):
Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Probleme nicht durch falsche Einstellungen im KeePassXC 2.6.0-Update verursacht werden. Die Erweiterung sollte ihre Einstellungen nicht verlieren, und wir empfehlen Ihnen, ein GitHub-Problem bezüglich der Probleme zu machen. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 11365148, 4 years agoit just doesnt work and cant figure out whats the problem. I dont have any connected database, it just writes "Key exchange was not successful." both firefox and keepassxc are portable.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13503710, 5 years agoNot working for me on Linux Firefox 68. Plugin doesn't fetch or updates passwords. Won't connect to my database. Absolutely no trust in this app!
Developer response
posted 5 years agoDid you install KeePassXC via Snap? Did you look at the documentation at keepassxc.org? You need to run a helper script to get it work. If you want to solve the issue, please make a new issue to GitHub. Thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15239303, 5 years agoNot working for me on Linux Firefox 68.

No way to get it back working again. So reverting to KeePass and KeePassHTTP connector. Developer response
posted 5 years agoThis is a KeePassXC issue on macOS. Please install libsodium via Homebrew until the fix is released, or downgrade to 2.4.1 until we release a new version.
