SSH agent integrationĪnother interesting feature of KeePassXC is the integration with SSH. In this way, browsing with KeePassXC running you will have your internet credentials available without necessarily saving them in the browser. When you reach the login page specified in the Url field and the database is unlocked, the extension will offer you all the credentials you have associated with that page: To do this, press the extension button and then the Connect button: if the database is open and unlocked the extension will create an association key and save it in the database, the key is unique to the browser so I suggest naming it appropriately : Once the extension is installed, it is necessary to create a connection with the database. The extension allows you to fill in the login information for all the entries whose URL is specified.īrowser integration must be enabled on KeePassXC (Tools menu -> Settings) specifying which browsers you intend to use: KeePassXC has an extension available for all major browsers. KeePassXC also offers a good password / passphrase generator, you can choose length and complexity and check the degree of resistance to a brute force attack: Browser integration Optionally you can specify an expiration date for the credentials based on your personal policy: also by pressing the button on the right the favicon of the site is downloaded and associated as an icon of the entry, this is a nice feature. For a web login specify a username, password and url in the Entry tab. Once the database has been created, you can start creating your first entry. Of course, if you choose a cloud storage, a particularly strong master password is recommended, better if accompanied by additional protection. If you want to share with other computers / devices you can save it on a USB key or in a cloud storage like pCloud or Dropbox. The database file will be saved to the file system. As additional protection you can choose a key file (remember: you must always have it available otherwise you cannot open the wallet) and / or a YubiKey hardware key.
