User reviews

Users generally appreciate the extension's ease of use, privacy benefits, and active development as a Nextcloud password manager. However, multiple reports highlight significant cons: high CPU usage leading to overheating, saving and autofill issues including duplicate passwords and incorrect autofills, and connectivity problems requiring restarts. Users also ask for improved workflow features like password regeneration and a better user interface for password management. Overall, the extension is valued for self-hosted password handling but has room for improvement in reliability and advanced functionality.

Enhances privacy by allowing users to store passwords on their own Nextcloud server.

Cons

High CPU usage and overheating issues reported on some versions of Chrome-based browsers causing users to disable the extension.
Does not save passwords automatically on websites; users have to add them manually.
Issues with extension connectivity requiring manual restart or reinstallation, especially after Nextcloud restarts or browser launches without internet.
Problems with password duplication and autofill errors, including incorrect autofill of other users' credentials.
Lack of advanced features such as password regeneration and better password management workflows.

Друзья, расширением пользоваться невозможно. Прямо с первого открытия я не могу увидеть кнопку авторизации, потому что она ниже видимой границы.
