Import/export passwords in keepass format for all browsers
2. feature-description
Importing and exporting browser passwords must have a universal and encrypted password pattern. There is a technical discussion about Mozilla Firefox using the encryption format here: Encryption of passwords imported into a file.
The problem with passwords today is that every browser implements the way to import and export passwords.
I argue that to have good security/privacy of user data we have to have a universal standard in importing/exporting passwords. As a matter of technological, individual, philosophical and rational freedom
I believe that for this to be done, we have to adopt the standard of open solutions with MIT/GPL open licenses, etc.
Keepass is an open source solution for managing passwords, it would be nice to have the same file format for all web browsers. When I refer to a universal standard for importing/exporting passwords, I say that it would be interesting, as I said before, to adopt the keepass open format for this.
Keepass has been around for a long time and is a well-established, popular solution known all over the world.
Adopting the Keepass format for importing/exporting passwords gives people more freedom. Well, Keepass software is licensed under the GPL - the same license as Linux. Which, in theory, will always be available openly.
It's 2022, and the bookmarks format is the same as it was in 1999. So why don't we have the same Keepass format for importing/exporting passwords in all browsers? - reference here Netscape bookmarks
2.2. Notes
I would like to know if this idea is good or bad
My goal is to help this communities: PrivacyCG, Solid, W3C, WIGC, WebAuthn, KeepPass, Browsers(Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Libre Wolf, Google Chrome etc)
I didn't find any link, resource for this here in PrivacyCG Community
I'm not promoting any company, service, product, solution, idea here - just adding the bibliographic reference links
If I'm wrong about something, speak up, criticize, correct
