This is a guide on how I setup KeePass with the keepasshttp plugin and chromeipass on Chrome/Chromium and passifox on Firefox. The keepass database is synchronized to my various clients using owncloud, but that is outside the scope of this guide.

Prepare the Environment¶

• Make sure the system is up to date:
  

  sudo pacman -Syu
  

Install KeePass¶

• Install keepass:
  

  sudo pacman -S keepass wget
  

• Install the keepasshttp plugin:
  

  wget https://raw.github.com/pfn/keepasshttp/master/KeePassHttp.plgx -O /usr/share/keepass/KeePassHttp.plgx
  

• Open KeePass for the plugin to compile.

Web Browser Integration¶

Chrome/Chromium¶

• Open Chrome/Chromium and go to Menu -> More Tools -> Extentions and then click Get more extensions

• Search for ChromeIPass and install the extension.

• When the extension installs, click the ChromeIPass icon and click Connect, this will bring up the keepass database connection pairing setup.

Firefox¶

• Open Firefox and go to Menu -> Addons

• Search for "PassIFox" and install the addon, and restart Firefox when the addon finishes installing.

• After Firefox restarts, go to a website containing a login form. When the FoxIPass configuration pops up, click Connect, this will bring up the keepass database connection pairing setup.
