Goldwarden password manager

Thoughts on the goldwarden password manager?

It supposedly has a wayland-compatible autotype feature which should make it more secure against malicious sandboxed applications, though I didn’t test the program yet

edit: I think the maintainer works at bitwarden, at least according to his github page.

If you are on Linux and really need one of the 5-6 features they are offering that the official clients don’t right now, then it might be worth looking at, personally I’d never use an unofficial front end for a password manager, no matter how trustworthy or open source it may be.

I think that autotype is crucial given how insecure the clipboard is outside of qubesos. keepassxc doesn’t offer autotype in my compositor, but maybe this will. I guess I’ll try it as the maintainer works at bitwarden. Should be safe…

edit: nvm it doesn’t work on wlroots. Guess I won’t bother :frowning:

Works on KDE and GNOME though, which is probably what most people use. Quite interesting to have working autofill on a Linux desktop.

I think that keepassxc always supported this on X11. It also now also supports autotype in GNOME/KDE as well. It’s unfortunate that the protocols required for this functionality aren’t as widely implemented appearently. Though fortunately, ydotool exists :} so you can get this with any compositor if you use pass.
