## Description

KeePassHttp-Connector is a powerful WebExtension designed to seamlessly integrate KeePass and KeePassXC password managers with modern browsers like Firefox 55+ and Chrome. It securely communicates with KeePass using the KeePassHttp plugin over HTTP, allowing users to retrieve and update credentials directly within the browser environment.

Key features include support for multiple KeePass databases with unique icons, a built-in password generator, handling of multiple credential sets per page with easy selection UI, and autofill capabilities for username, password, and even dropdown fields. It also supports HTTP authentication (htaccess-login), integrates with context menus and shortcuts for ease of use, and automatically detects username-password field combinations to streamline logins. Regular checks ensure the KeePassHttp plugin stays up to date. Installation instructions are provided for quick setup and smooth operation.

## Review summary

KeePassHttp-Connector is valued for enabling KeePass integration with Firefox through a minimalist design and effective autofill, especially when paired with OTP plugins. However, multiple users report that the add-on breaks with Firefox 69 and newer versions, leading to connection failures and installation errors. Concerns are raised about the security risks of its status as an individual developer project without Mozilla's official security validation, risking overlooked vulnerabilities. Despite these issues, dedicated users appreciate ongoing efforts to maintain functionality and fix bugs over time.
