General information

MacOS Big Sur
Chrome 86:
Information about the host app:
- How did you install it?
- Installed with homebrew: Browserpass host app version: 3.0.7
Information about the browser extension:
- How did you install it?
- From chrome webstore
- Browserpass extension version as reported by your browser: 3.7.1

If you are getting an error immediately after opening popup, have you followed the Configure browsers documentation section?

Not related to my case

Exact steps to reproduce the problem

Click on the browserpass icon in the google chrome
Error message would pop up: "Error: Error: Specified native messaging host not found."

What should happen?

It should let me choose an account with data, as it was in catalina.

What happened instead?

Hi, I think the configure browsers is very much related to your case 😉

I've read it, but couldn't get it, could you please point me in a right direction, on what i did wrong?

I just reinstalled browserpass with brew commands:

brew rm browserpass
brew install browserpass

got a message after browserpass installation:

* To configure your browser, RUN THE FOLLOWING:
$ PREFIX='/usr/local/opt/browserpass' make hosts-BROWSER-user -f /usr/local/opt/browserpass/lib/browserpass/Makefile
* Where BROWSER is one of the following: [chromium chrome vivaldi brave firefox]

Then i pasted this command: PREFIX='/usr/local/opt/browserpass' make hosts-BROWSER-user -f /usr/local/opt/browserpass/lib/browserpass/Makefile which resulted with an error:

"make: *** No rule to make target `hosts-BROWSER-user'. Stop."

you need to replace BROWSER with one of the values, so for example PREFIX .... make hosts-chromium-user .... if you use Chromium

chromium and chrome - is there a difference? i'm actually using a chrome. Just noticed this warning, lol :) Now it works, in my case it was "chrome". Thank you for quick response! I just thought it was a big sur issue.

There is a difference, yes, if you use Chrome then use chrome :)
