v3.0.0

This release fundamentally changes the extension’s approach. Rather than working as a stand-alone browser extension, PfP now relied on PfP Native Host application. The latter provides it with access to a single KeePass database file on the user’s hard drive, all data is kept in this file. The database can be modified by another application like KeePassXC in parallel.

Due to the changes, this version is not an update to PfP 2.x but rather a separate browser extension. Data can be migrated by exporting it in PfP 2.x and importing it in PfP 3.x.

Additional changes

  • No longer requesting permissions for all websites (using activeTab permission).
  • Passwords are no longer being generated on demand. All passwords are kept in the database, safely encrypted.
  • Sync functionality has been removed. Instead, you can now use external solutions to sync the database file across multiple devices.
  • Export functionality has been removed. You can get a copy of the database file using your file manager of choice.
  • Importing CSV files has been improved, accepting more formats than LastPass exports now.
  • Import now asks for confirmation, displaying the titles of passwords being imported.
  • Password recovery codes are protected with a password which is not necessarily your main password.
  • There is no longer a revision field. Instead, a title field has been introduced which can be different from the username field.
  • All entered passwords can be made visible by clicking the eye icon next to the field.
  • Existing passwords can be edited, not merely replaced.
  • “Make generated” and “Bump revision” password menu entries have been replaced by “Duplicate password.”
  • By default, a random password is generated when a password is added.
  • Added a progress indicator when unlocking passwords.
  • All Passwords page now correctly displays line breaks in password notes.
  • Migrated to Manifest V3 (Chrome and Opera only, not Firefox yet).
  • Fixed: Access key hints should not be printed.
