@Mac Berg Joke's on you, the login prompt was in a custom web view to access my company's VPN where there's no browser extension support.

KeePassXC can auto-type into other apps as well, matching entries by window title :blobcatthumbsup:

@D:\side\ @Mac Berg I use KeePassXC for my personal use, but not for my job as we have an SSO which only requires a single password for everything, which makes a password manager a little cumbersome.
@Mac Berg Also Bitwarden wouldn't have prevented the initial distraction which triggered the session timeout. I was surprised that the wrong password message took precedence over the expired session message, which is odd because even if you subsequently enter a valid password, your session is already gone.

amusingly enough, that's exactly the use case that pushed me towards it!

Grew tired of coming up with tough enough piece of entropy every few months, so set this thing up once, cloned the records for other services (it allows referencing passwords from other entries) and it was a smooth ride since. Once I change the password, I update the main record and the change takes effect across all references too.

I still rotate the password on the vault itself occasionally, but on my own terms.

And since then I've cracked open user's manual for KPXC and started unleashing the rest of its power. And on my, there's a lot of it.

@D:\side\ @Mac Berg My number 1 feature of KeePass(XC) is storing multi-factor authentication TOTP seeds. It's able to generate the numerical codes but also the QR code to set up an app-based authenticator, which means my mobile device isn't a single point of failure anymore for many sensitive services I'm using MFA for.
