KeeForm 2 for Chrome
The installation consists of only two steps and is very easy.
- Installation of an add-on for KeePass on Windows
- One-click Installation of a small Chrome Extension
Since All steps are "guided", the installation will be quick and easy.
Please remove/uninstall any previous "old" KeeForm version that you installed before March 2018.
1. Add-on Installation
Download the latest version of the KeeForm installer directly from this page. When you start the app, you will be guided through a couple of installation steps. It is recommended to use the defaults ("just click click "Next" for each step").
If you want, you can specify a password to secure the communication between the KeeForm and Chrome (e.g. to prevent other apps "from accidentally" eavesdropping that communication). Don't forget to set the same password on the options page of the KeeForm Chrome extension as well. DO NOT USE YOUR KEEPASS PASSWORD FOR THIS.
KeeForm communicates by default with ip address 127.0.0.1 and port 8484. You can change that if needed, but don't forget to set the same ip/port in the KeeForm Chrome extension as well. Please also make sure that a firewall doesn't block that ip and port.
2. Chrome Installation
Please install the extension by clicking the button below (visible only on Chrome).
After the running the installer and enabling the KeeForm extension you should notice a KeeForm toolbar icon with a "blue icon indicator". Blue indicates the extension is still initializing. If everything is installed correctly this indicator should turn green. If it turns red then the extension is not able to "open a connection" to the KeeForm application, most likely because a firewall blocked it or another browser is using it already.
That's all. From now on when you double click on a URL in KeePass, KeeForm will use your reuse or open browser session and start the "form filling process".
Regarding Permissions:
- Chrome extension: needs permission to read/change any website. Or else it wouldn't be able to fill forms. It also needs to be able to communicate with the KeeForm app on your machine.
