I was struggling when moving my setup to a new browser. Suddenly, gopassbridge would not work anymore and just say that 'native messaging' was not enabled (or similar). I find this not very helpful because it does not include a pointer how to fix this (or at least where it's documented).

Ideally, I would expect this information in one of the following places (or both):

  • when clicking on the gopass icon: instead or beside the current error message about malfunctioning native messaging
  • some setup guidelines in the plugin settings page.

@corneliusweig , can you specify which message you get on which browser / version / gopassbridge plugin version? I checked locally and on firefox , I get a hint with a link to the setup documentation. The additional link is triggered by:

    'Access to the specified native messaging host is forbidden',
    'Attempt to postMessage on disconnected port',

at the moment.

@martinhoefling I'm using gopassbridge 0.6.0 on Chrome 80. This is all I see and the item is not clickable:

I was able to reproduce the issue with chrome 80. Adding the string helps:
