hello everyone, I’m one of the maintainers, mostly involved with osx and the settings. just joined the community with a fresh account.

I will try to be active so that we can get this community going, it would be nice to be present on a federated service such as lemmy. it seems like the creator is not around anymore so that might become a pain at some point, but we’ll see.

    Glad you are here.
    Once again i am trying to make LibreWolf work for me by trying to set up KeePassXC and, once again, am tempted to give up. For me, this login-password issue is what makes me less likely to open up LibreWolf. I may need to try Bitwarden.

        thanks. I’ll try to that.
        i want to do things the more private way, but every damned FOSS thing I touch has glitches and/or a learning curve and sometimes what seems like my fault is not but I try for 6 hours only to fail.

          I think you would really enjoy bitwarden if you value simplicity. give a shot over the built in password manager imo, it has better synchronization and it is likely a more robust and secure solution. it also looks very nice.

      What is the problem with KeePassXC? I use KeePassXC with LibreWolf and everything works just fine.

        I use the appimage, but just now when trying to install the deb, saw that i have that, too. (the browser ext. said I was using an outdated version and I was). I have the most popular FF extension for it, KeePassXc-Browser. I can see the KeePass symbol by the login and can see that I manually entered that login, password, URL in a group name in my .kdbx file. But, when I click on the logo in the login in area, it still makes me type in both login and password. Also, I am rather confused about how to organize (if I need to) my groups (I use 4 IDs online) since I use 2 PCs and the browser extension asked me to enter a title for each PC used. I am still not sure if everyone needs to use that extension, but it seems the only way. I began by using one file for each ID, then when that didn’t seem to work well, i went to one master file with 4 groups. Also, it seems the file may time out periodically and need to be reopened - that is what the browser extension seems to say. That means shutting down the app on my PC and logging into it again - almost as annoying as logging into each site - depending on how often I change sites, I guess.
