Introducing the KeeFox Firefox plugin which enable a user to seamlessly use their Keepass password database right inside Firefox. This nifty plugin makes a world of difference as it makes it that much easier to auto login, fill forms and much more without using the usual auto fill feature of Keepass, which as at times clumsy

Some highlighted features of this plugin according to the developers

• Free and open source (why is this good?)

• Automatic form filling

• Unobtrusive – KeeFox’s default settings are designed to ensure that you notice it when you need to but it won’t get in your way when you don’t want it to. There are options that will allow you to push KeeFox even further into the background (or make it grab your attention more forcefully if you are a little bit unobservant!)

• Instant log-in to your KeePass password entries straight from Firefox

• One-click save button to add new logins to KeePass automatically

• Supports multiple KeePass users (databases)

• Automatically filled forms can contain more than just a username and password field or even span across more than one page!

• “HTTP/protocol authentication” login support (* requires manual configuration in the KeePass entry)

• Automatically saves the “favicon” for websites to help you identify them next time you log in

• Automatically saves the “favicon” for websites to help you identify them next time you log in

Keepass is not installed by default on Ubuntu, however installing it is simply a few clicks away as it is already in the default Ubuntu repositories. Simply navigate to the Ubuntu Software centre or the Synaptic Package Manager and install it from there.

Note: Keefox is still under development so there may be slight bugs here and there.
