User reviews

Browserpass is a reliable and user-friendly Chrome extension that offers seamless integration with the pass password manager, praised for its clean interface and cross-device sync. While its active development and responsive team are appreciated, several users face challenges with a complicated installation process and occasional technical errors. Some users also report difficulties in removing the extension due to administrative permissions and limitations in Chrome's native password features when using Browserpass. Overall, it's valued as a powerful tool for managing passwords efficiently, especially for users comfortable with multi-step setups.

Cons

Installation process requires multiple steps and is not straightforward, lacking one-click setup which can be challenging for some users.

Issues with the extension being installed as "installed by your administrator", making it difficult to remove.
Some inconsistency with Chrome's native password saving system detection, especially on certain devices like Chromebooks.
