Safari extension

[kamenitxan]

For better user experience, there is need for browser extension. Frankly I can't use it without one.

[mstarke]

It's a valid request. For Keepass there is keepasshttps which has an extension for chrome and firefox. I did think about adding this at first, since I've not got the time to do the safari extension by myself. If you'd like to contribute one, please feel free to do so. I'm open for suggestions and help.

Another thing is - Keepass supports autotype that is, it can send text to other windows and it matches those windows against the database entries. This way it can fill forms in websites. The system is rather felxible but you need to do a bit of handywork for some edgecases. My first goal is to get autotype working on OS X an we'll see how that goes.

I tried keepasshttps and it has too many downsides for me. My main problem is that it doesn't match all saved accounts properly for specific domains. Besides that it requires KeePass-Mono, which is really slow and hurts my eyes. I hope the autotype thing leads some day to a nice MacPass-Browser-integration.

[mstarke]

I did ponder on this a while and thing, the browser integration might be of higher value than the global AutoType (which is more or less a universal way of trying to work without custom plugins).

Since my time is limited and not being the biggest in the field of extension development the easy way for me might be to go for KeePassHTTP support first. When the feedback is too bad, there might be a reason to create custom extensions but this means loads of more work.

Hmmm, I prefer global auto type. I never used KeePassHTTP, cause I much more need to login to different applications/enterprise applications that web/http things...

Applications that will be almost never supported through plugins, because they are mostly enterprise applications which are used by low % of people... (where I login on everyday basis: SIEM java clients, putty, vpn clients, rdp and ica clients, db clients, vmware vsphere client, and of course Games launchers:))

[mstarke]

Mh. Now what? :). Maybe I should just implement everything as it seems both features have their valid use cases.

Voting for global auto type as well. Super-useful feature. Thanks again for such great software :+1:

[kumters]

xDDDDDD

[kumters]

I have other 5 coleagues that will switch from Windows to OS.X next year and they will prefer that global auto type too. But on other hand I understand that KePassHTTP is good/usefull too.

Thank you for the App. it's really cool... You have another vote for the global auto type...

I second this request and would like to add the wish for support for KeeFox which uses keepasshttp in order to connect to keepass. Please add it to macpass.

How can one donate to this project? What about paypal donations?

[mstarke]

@gstammw take a look at #172 for a remark regarding donations. Since you're not the first to ask I might put a note in the Readme.

Hi everybody! I just want you to know, that I'm currently working on a Safari-Extension to work with KeePassHTTP: mmichaa/passafari.safariextension. There are already some builds/releases and today I released the first beta. It's still under development and the README needs at least a usage description and some screenshots. It's my first Safari Extension, maybe it could be done better.

I hope someone is still thinking about this feature. It'd be really nice if it could integrate with Chrome/Chromium and maybe Safari.

@mackdata ChromeIPass extension works for chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chromeipass/ompiailgknfdndiefoaoiligalphfdae?hl=en

[michaelfresco]

Ahh! I finally managed to figure out it works. 1) download macpass 0.62, then 2) install the latest plugin from GitHub.

Note: don't use Brew.

[mmichaa]

@geokal You could take a look at https://github.com/mmichaa/passafari.safariextension/issues. Have a look also on the closed issues. If you still need help, feel free to open an issue there.
