## What it is
KeePassHttp is a plugin for KeePass 2.x that exposes password entries securely over HTTP using 256-bit AES/CBC encryption. It is designed to let browser extensions like PassIFox (Firefox) and chromeIPass (Chrome) retrieve and update credentials from an unlocked KeePass database.

## Use cases
- fill browser login forms from keepass
- expose keepass password entries to browser extensions
- retrieve matching credentials for a url from keepass
- securely share passwords between keepass and chrome or firefox
- allow or deny per-entry access requests from browser clients

## When to choose
- you use KeePass 2.x and want browser autofill via chromeIPass or PassIFox
- you need a local HTTP bridge to query KeePass entries securely
- you want per-entry user approval for credential access

## When to avoid
- you use KeePassXC, which has built-in browser integration via KeePassXC-Browser
- you need a maintained solution with active development
- you cannot run Mono on Linux or Mac

## Facets
