About PassFF
PassFF connects Firefox to a zx2c4 pass password repository, the Unix password store that keeps each entry as a GPG-encrypted file. From the browser you can look up entries and have the extension fill and optionally submit login forms when a matching entry is found.
It needs pass already set up and working in a terminal, plus a separate host application that lets the extension talk to the pass script, and a graphical pinentry program for your GPG passphrase. Development happens on Codeberg, with GitHub as a read-only mirror.
Strengths
- Uses your existing pass repository with no separate vault
- Can fill and submit login forms automatically
- Signed release available on Mozilla's add-on site
Limitations
- Requires pass, a host application and pinentry to be installed first
- Firefox only
- Setup is more involved than an all-in-one password manager
