Review summary

PassFF is valued for making the 'pass' password manager easier to use within Firefox, featuring a simple setup and reliable performance for many users. However, recurring issues include host app connection failures, limited format support, and occasional installation challenges. Despite some usability quirks, it remains a helpful tool for those seeking better Firefox integration with 'pass.'
Pros
  • Makes using the 'pass' password manager easier and more convenient.
  • Simple and quick setup process, works well out of the box for many users.
  • Provides a less complex interface for a typically command-line tool, making it more user-friendly.
  • Reliable and effective for everyday usage as reported by several users.
  • Enhances integration of 'pass' with Firefox, appreciated by users preferring to use 'pass' over built-in browser password managers.
Cons
  • Issues with connection to the host app leading to errors like 'Connection to the host app failed or returned an unexpected result!'.
  • Limited compatibility: works only with two formats, and doesn't support some features like copying line numbers in entries.
  • Installation of the host app can be problematic or fail silently for some users, leading to inability to use the add-on.
  • UI quirks such as popup width being too small for some users with long directory paths in password entries.

2023-03-06 Gr***** Doesn't work. Even with the host app, pass working, double checked the paths and config. "Connection to the host app failed or returned an unexpected result!"
