User Reviews

Users praise its Nextcloud integration, password generation, and ease of use when connected. Repeated complaints focus on confusing desktop pairing (mobile/QR-centric), weak autofill/web form integration requiring manual steps, lack of a master‑password/lock, and occasional connection/reliability problems. Overall useful but needs better desktop pairing, autofill and security controls.

Pros

Integrates well with the Nextcloud Passwords app and ecosystem
Generates and stores secure passwords
Easy to set up and use once connected
Reported as efficient and functional by multiple users

Cons

Desktop pairing/connection is confusing or appears mobile‑oriented (QR/code) with missing pairing UI
Poor web autofill integration — does not reliably auto-fill username/password fields and requires using the extension UI
No master‑password/lock mechanism — users worry about immediate access to stored passwords
Limited in‑addon account management (difficulty creating/pairing accounts or adding entries manually)
Connection reliability issues — may fail to connect at startup and not recover automatically

There seems to be no way to use it on desktop. Some QR-Code is presented, or alternatively a code to input. But absolutely nowhere to put it in. Seem like this is only meant for mobile, which is a shame. And a waste of my time, this should be communicated earlier. Installed the Nextcloud app. installed the Firefox plugin. I am left with nowhere to go now, no way to connect the two.
