User Reviews

KeePassXC-Browser is generally popular for reliable cross-platform use and smooth browser integration, boosting productivity by autofilling passwords and reducing manual copy-paste. However, multiple reviews report recurring problems: site-specific reliability issues, inserting the wrong password, cryptic errors, hardcoded native-messaging host paths hindering installs, and breakage under stricter privacy settings until fixes are released.
Pros
  • Works reliably across Windows and Linux (Firefox).
  • Great integration with KeePassXC; fills passwords quickly and securely.
  • Improves productivity by reducing manual copy-paste and enabling quick logins.
  • Perceived as a strong, well-integrated password manager in the browser.
Cons
  • Inconsistent behavior on many websites; field-detection/tool not reliable.
  • Inserts the wrong password from other accounts without a selection prompt.
  • Non-helpful error messages (e.g., 'Key exchange was not successful').
  • Hardcoded path for native messaging host; installation/configuration issues.
  • Privacy/configuration restrictions can break the addon and delay fixes/releases.

Thanks for this extension! One remark: though firefox now honors XDG config settings in $HOME/.config/mozilla/firefox (on Linux) the extension creates a $HOME/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts. I'd like so see all config for an application on one single place only.

Is KeePassXC-Browser 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.

KeePassXC-Browser requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
