Safari browser integration

[Pedrober]

KeePassXC for Mac OS has very limited functionality without Safari browser integration. Please put it in your roadmap.

Desired Behavior

Automatic filling of passwords in Safafi.

Not possible, Safari does not support the proper extension protocol.

I see. Anyhow, there was a plugin for KeePass (Passafari), years ago.

@Pedrober if you are interested I wrote an AppleScript originally for Macpass that can be used with Fastscripts for autofilling safari based on url. I modified it to work with strongbox (Mac keepass app). If this something you would find helpful I could try making 3rd one for use with keepassxc.

Dear George, Thank you very much for your message. Don’t worry. In the end, I moved to Enpass because it works with Safari… Best wishes, Manuel

KeePassXC works great on the Mac with Firefox, Chome, and Chromium for me. There are other browsers for macOS besides Safari.

Safari is highly convenient browser for macOS that should have integration with KeepPassXC.

I have started working on Safari extension using the newer specs by Apple. It is based on the old HTTP support. I had geared it originally towards MacPass’s plugin, but it would work with any application that uses HTTP spec. That would means also there is some possibility it could be modified to work with KPXC native messaging.

It is not finished and it only has some basic javascript for filling/testing and the basic POST request for credentials. The handling of the encryption, multiple sites, etc ... has not been worked on or developed.

I do encourage you to go ahead, please! Safari is the best browser so far in my opinion, way more efficient and less battery consuming than the others. Making an app for OSX browsers I don't understand why Safari is not considered as one of them.

I really hope to see something like this happening, even some sort of workaround just to make it work.

Apple announced safari will support web extension in a future version at WWDC. When it does we'll test our current extension and done.

Just as note i tested building the old Http legacy extension with apples new method and it works.
