brent I know this not what you want because its a paid password service
but it is being done. Just giving to ya for info was surprised they do support linux just not ours..
Made me think way back in the day long ago I used like an automated keyboard macro recorder
for something dont remb what tho but that wouldnt give any protection.
Prob only find it in like a paid service.
Sorry not much help
Is there a password manager that handles standalone apps?
Axios Ah! There is such a creature! Thank you.!
you can see from the first sentence their proprietary program stores the app name, waits for you to launch app, then fills it in since this same program is the vault probably as well.
Great find, I appreciate it. You are right though---I will wait for the free version
in addition this is sophisticated in that it goes far beyond a talkative widget that connects programs (vault, widget, browser)--this whole thing is baked together. the key is have the app listen for browser credentials and other launched apps--it covers everything. it's convenient and they should get every buck for it til the foss community figures it out. way cool
- Edited
Will do it but no linux every other os tho has free one
I filed this one may be handy

LOL forgot to paste web addy the first time
Axios that's ok. they had a free .exe. What a great concept though, eh? A password manager that transcends the simple web browser. I can't believe you found these things. I couldn't even wrap my head around the words/syntax I would use to search DDG/other for this creature that was in my mind. appreciate your digging.
I am happy cutting/pasting my pw's til this is foss....as the years rack up I start valuing simplicity more
1Password will as well, but no Linux version. Not sure if the subscription version of bitwarden does.
Brucehankins cool
: Brucehankins interesting. I will be patient. you know how these things evolve..
Axios probably not more common b/c easier to skype or zoom or element thru the browser where everything is easy peasy for the pw manager. I like standalone apps personally--or in theory at least i.e. independent of the browser with its own style/design
1password has several linux plus flatpak and snap but its a paid service
Axios nice! We use it at work, but that's all windows based, so I never looked into it further. I'm a bitwarden user personally, but only the free tier.
It's not automatic, but KeepassXC can autotype passwords anywhere. I use it that way with my browser too.
synth-ruiner that's my favorite pw manager of all time...used it for years. But did not notice the autotype function. Love to give it another chance. but the browsers I like are all appimage and flatpak and keepassxc can't talk to the sandboxed apps (or they can't talk to it).
brent that's kind of my point, I like to avoid relying on browser plugins for password management!
synth-ruiner would rather do that myself. I'm down to 1-2 addons per browser. I think I used to have too many in the past.
I even gave up my beloved 'block youtube commercials' plugin because once I read the fine print I kicked myself. "can monitor every tab without youtube in it. can access anything on hdd. can call/recieve data anytime I want."
something terrible like that. that's when I started weaning off plugins.

You could try
https://docs.invidious.io/instances/ for Browser
https://freetubeapp.io/ for Linux
https://newpipe.net/ for android
528491 used the snot out of invidious when I ran gnu icecat for a while.
invidious pros: blunt, efficient, clean, doesn't look like you tube, ad free
invidious cons: doesn't look like youtube i.e. rec list not real close to what you just viewed (search matrices underdeveloped but oh well)
newpipe: cons: phone only. this was a powerhouse in that its a frontend for for multiple platforms (band camp etc) not just youtube.
freetube using as a standalone/
pros: works, dark mode
cons: noisy, busy, chatty, has ads for its own blog and goings on (not ad ads), looks and behaves like you tube
I left freetube in plank. I like the idea of standalone frontend just for youtube--a new concept for me, if I remember to use it and not follow a broswer music link into the browser...where do the cookies go I wonder?
thanks for the alternatives.
528491 J'Accuse:
I clicked a link of a guy shotgunning a beer in Invidious and it woudn't load. took a look at umatrix and OOPS SUZY---google wants a personal invite into the browser to conditionally play this video...
....on a FOSS frontend to boot!!
W.T.H.? I could just use youtube for that abuse...
