Letzte Zeit wird ein bestimmter Benutzer samt Passwort fälschlicherweise in die Felder fremder Seiten vorausgefüllt und ich muss es jedes mal löschen. Außerdem funktioniert das Addon nicht, wenn der Browser vor einer Internetverbindung gestartet wird. Man muss den Browser neu starten oder den Account neu speichern. Es gibt keine Indikation, ob das Addon verbunden oder offline ist.

Using this for more than 5 years with my own nextcloud instance. A few month ago it started to ask for my password (initially after launching a browser / wake up from sleep) 2 times. It also duplicates the collected passwords - like it runs two times simultaneously. tried to remove/reinstall but no success. any ideas?

Fantastic. Works, simple to use. Use to use SafeInCloud, but when the new company purchased it, the app started going down hill. High CPU rates, crashing etc. Decided it was time to find something else. I love privacy and having it on my own NextCloud server was what the perfect solution. This extension makes it super simple to use NextCloud passwords. Thank you to the developer for your time and work into this free extension. You are awesome!
