browser integration?browser integration?Posted Nov 10, 2011 21:57 UTC (Thu) by Per_Bothner (subscriber, #7375)Parent article: A Periodic Table of password managers
A large fraction of the passwords most of us use a for web sites. And of course most browsers have their own password-managers. Ideally, one would like to set the browser's password manager to use an external general-purpose password-manager. Or a browser password-manager that can be more general-purpose (which includes import and export). For example I know that keepass has tolerable browser-integration, but it's not as nice as the browser's native password manager, so most people will prefer the latter. I didn't notice anything in the article or comments about this important usability aspect. Any comments or recommendations?

lastpass.com. Unfortunately it's not FOSS, but it's cross-platform, integrates with the browser, has broad mobile device support, has provisions to protect against keyloggers, offers dual-factor authentication and one-time password support, and on and on.. The main downside to using it for years is how utterly dependent I've become on it..

That's a major down side and one without a good solution. Pherhaps you could try clipperz.com; they offer a standalone version you can self host (haven't tried it yet).
Ultimately the solution to this has got to be a FOSS online password manager with a slew of nice features (two factor auth, various integration, etc) so that I don't have to trust a third party host and get a network-accessible password safe.
