User Reviews

Browserpass is praised for easy setup, strong Linux and cross‑platform support, and workflow-friendly operation with keyboard shortcuts. Users report it works out of the box on Ubuntu 20.04 and performs smoothly, often outperforming KeePassXC's browser integration. The main downsides are macOS installation difficulties and the lack of Flatpak/Snap packaging on Ubuntu 22.04, which can hinder installation on some systems.
Pros

  • Cross-platform: also runs well on Windows.
  • Easy to use with minimal configuration; just works.
  • Integrates well with workflows and supports efficient keyboard shortcuts.
  • Smoother browser integration and solid performance compared to KeePassXC.
Cons
  • macOS installation is difficult / near impossible.

Is Browserpass Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Browserpass requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
