Browserpass is a browser extension for zx2c4's pass (the UNIX password store) that auto-fills or copies credentials for the current domain, helping protect against phishing. It requires a companion native messaging host to interface with the local password store.

Use cases

  • auto-fill passwords from pass in the browser
  • copy pass credentials to clipboard per domain
  • fill OTP codes from password store entries
  • avoid phishing by matching credentials to current domain
  • use pass with Chromium or Firefox

When to choose

  • you use zx2c4's pass or gopass as your password manager
  • you want a phishing-resistant browser autofill for a CLI password store
  • you prefer a local, GPG-encrypted password store over cloud managers

When to avoid

  • you don't use pass/gopass or don't want to install a native messaging host
  • you need a full-featured GUI password manager with sync
  • you use a browser other than Chromium or Firefox derivatives
