Keepassxc Portable

[Gabelo Camphire]

Sobasically the browser Will be locked now from all my passwords by KeepassXC. I will export the passwords from Brave then import them to the program keepassxc. Then I can delete all my saved passwords in Brave.

It looks very powerful with the various degrees of encryption strength and different encryption protocols. Your right, its better to keep passwords out of the cloud and out of the browser, makes sense now.

Regarding "duplicate for ppa install over snap" I'll copy my comment: technically yes, but it's a nice hack and ultimately a workaround (and if you're just trying to get some native transport working after upgrading, it is not the thing you'll search for).

Update: Native messaging support in the Firefox snap is now available as beta. Beware that this is pretty fresh - the code hasn't been merged upstream, yet, so don't expect this to be production-ready. There is also a German article by Heise Online with a step-by-step guide on how to get this going - in case you want to give it a try.

Unfortunately this issue can't be fixed on KeePassXC's end and so far neither Flatpak nor Snap support NativeMessaging, yet (their sandboxing techniques prevent the browser extension from talking to the KeePassXC process). While work on a solution is in progress, all we can do is work around this issue (or switch to a distro which still provides browsers as regular packages like Debian). The KeePassXC Troubleshooting guide recommends installing the browser from the official PPA. This isn't pretty but the following approach worked for me:

This approach has the drawback that AppArmor is disabled completely - beware that this weakens security. Maybe someone with more AppArmor experience can contribute a safer way to get NativeMessaging working again?

It can be used as static/portable installation, the executable is path/to/firefox/firefox. It can also be installed system-level as said here (as per comment by @mook75), something which copies that folder to /opt, creates needed symlinks (so that a command like firefox starts the browser), and provides a launcher.

Testing in 22.04 (portable) I have found no limitations compared to the previous non-snap version, all addons work, there is just the fact that update has to be done with a click in Help - About Firefox.

Hours later, I solved it and managed to have the Firefox apt version connecting with KeepassXC without deactivating the apparmor protection. I primarily based my solution on the KeepassXC Troubleshoot:

Earlier answers are no longer relevant as Native Messaging support arrived in Stable Version of Firefox Snap around November 2022. Firefox snap is now unlikely to be the cause of the browser integration failure.

Ubuntu software app might install keepassxc as a snap and keepassxc snap does not support native messaging (and seems unlikely to do so anytime soon). If so, remove the snap version and reinstall keepassxc as a ppa for browser integration to work.

I have just switched from Debian to Manjaro. On Debian I was running KDE Plasma (Wayland) together with GDM3. There I had disabled the Gnome keyring and replaced it with KeePassXC. Everything worked fine so far, all apps automatically used KeePassXC instead of kwallet.

Now I wanted to have this under Manjaro as well. And the setup is similar, except that I use SDDM as installed by default. Otherwise also KDE Plasma (Wayland). I figured that since there is no GDM3, there is no Gnome keyring that needs to be disabled.

If you change these, then it also works. But then many programs no longer recognize that KDE is running and look strange in the menu structure, icons, etc., so they cannot be used properly in some cases.

However, I was also running KDE Plasma with Wayland under Debian (somewhat older version) and these variables were also set in this way there. As soon as the programs there noticed that KeePassXC was running as a keyring, it was used.

The GNU keyring simply had to be switched off (and prevented from being reactivated), as otherwise KeePassXC would automatically switch off its own keyring. But the GNU keyring is not even installed under the Manjaro KDE version.

Everything work fine on my system and i enabled keepassxc as secret service integration from yesterday to play around.

Both variables you are talking about are set to KDE and TRUE, i do not have any issue with that.

But I think I have slowly solved the problem. Unlike Debian, the KDE password storage system must generally be deactivated in the system settings. This may be because the point with the D-Bus Api is missing in Manjaro.

However, I cannot yet say why Debian and Manjaro behave so differently here. With Debian, kwalletd5 continued to run without any problems. If the service is running in Manjaro, you cannot activate the integration in KeePassXC.

The computer can now be restarted. You should then check whether the kwalletd5 service is still running, see point 2 above. Otherwise, check the individual configuration points again and adjust or correct them if necessary.

Now, with the exception of the Brave Browser, everything runs via KeePassXC. In order for the Brave Browser to do the same, I have to explicitly start Brave in Manjaro with the additional switch --password-store=gnome-libsecret. Otherwise it takes a good 30 seconds to start. It then switches to Basic Password Store mode.

I've been using Alfred for a while, basic functions without entering into the workflows world, but recently I'm switching to KeePassXC to store my passwords and I created the workflow to help with the change. I saw that there is some demand of a workflow that this one but no one created it.

As a quick fix you can modify the script of the workflow (/usr/bin/osascript) and remove the line:

ofType: ["dyn.ah62d4rv4ge8003dcta"] //.kdbx extension type identifier

This won't filter by file type, I checked with two macs and they provide me with the same identifier

My KeePass database is big and contains hundreds of entries. Thus, I cannot afford list all entries. Instead, I change it to use "locate" command instead of "ls" for keepassxc-cli. Also, added some bells and whistles:

Love this workflow and it works perfectly fine for me, but is there a way to modify it so I can retrieve the username (for example by using cmd+enter) alongside the normal command of getting the password? I use a lot of different throwaway addresses and usernames for a bunch of sites, so right now I can only really use this for the sites where I'm already 100% certain i use my "actual" personal email as a username (so I don't have to look up the username in my database manually).

I am running on Pop!_OS so for most things this is likely an aquivalent of Ubuntu.KeepassXC is installed and the SSH-Agent is enabled.There is a keyphrase configured with a key and it works just like a charm when I start keepassxc from the terminal keepassxc log in and then I can see that ssh-add -l lists an additional key. It also vanishes once I close KeePassXC. Perfect!

Some distributions have a system for starting programs such as the ssh-agent before the window manager. On my distro I found that /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent was starting ssh-agent. See this comment on a user help issue for KeepassXC for more information.

However I also found that GNOME Keyring was starting an ssh agent of its own. I had to disable this in the startup applications. I also checked that no shells startup scripts (ie. .bashrc .bash_profile .profile .config/fish/config.fish were trying to start the ssh-agent, as doing so would replace the one started before the window manager.

I also found that in the upcoming 2.6.0 release of KeepassXC (targeted for 3. April 2020), there will be an added settings to allow overriding, or settings the value to use for SSH_AUTH_SOCK. However as this changes each time ssh-agent starts you will either need to keep changing it or set-up a link that would point to the current sock.

Official browser plugin for the KeePassXC password manager ( ).The thing computers can do best is storing information.You shouldn't waste your time trying to remember and type your passwords.KeePassXC can store your passwords safely and auto-type them into your everyday websites and applications.Privacy Policy: -keepassxcCheck release notes from: -browser/blob/develop/CHANGELOG

KeePassXC is a free/open-source password manager or safe which helps youto manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all yourpasswords in one database, which is locked with one master key or akey-disk. So you only have to remember one single master password orinsert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases areencrypted using the algorithms AES or Twofish.In contrast to KeePassX (package keepassx), KeePassXC is actively developedand has more features, e.g., connectivity to a Web Browser plugin (packagewebext-keepassxc-browser).This is a transitional package depending on keepassxc-full or keepassxc-minimal Tags: Interface Toolkit: Qt

This is my default browser, but at the moment I had to switch to another browser. So could you please help me with this issue together with the developers of the keepassxc 2.6.4 application and the KeePassXC-Browser extension 1.7.7.

Everything was working normally and suddenly after new installation of Distro Deepin V20.2 it stopped connecting the extension with the keepassxc app, as can be seen in the link below. Can browser and extension coexist in partnership of quality and mutual efficiency?

The browsers in question without exception are the Chromium base, where after updating the extension that these problems began to occur. Everything leads us to believe that it is the browser extension that does not connect with keepassxc 2.6.4.

I would like help to understand why Fedora 34 Beta flavor Deepin V20 works correctly and connect to Brave Browser normally and this same application and extension does not work correctly on Deepin V20.2. Can anyone have an explanation for this? Could it be because Keepassxc 2.6.4 is installed on Deepin V20.2 via flatpak?
