Hi there, it sounds like NixOS package is broken and the browser extension cannot discover browserpass. It's a pity, I would prefer users to install the app via package managers, not manually 🙁

NixOS package is managed by community, I highly encourage you to investigate and fix the NixOS package (and update it to the latest version). Let me know if you will be looking into it — if not, I think I should remove it from README 🤔

I'm closing because I won't be investigating this myself.

Not sure how to debug this as I get no indication on what's wrong. I'll add the issue to nixpkgs and see if I can get in touch with anyone.

Did you try

programs.browserpass.enable = true;

simendsjo commented 5 years ago

Did you try

programs.browserpass.enable = true;

Ah! There's my bug! I only installed the package using nix-env, not enabling it.
