#KEEPER PASSWORD MANAGER GOOGLE CHROME EXTENSION PASSWORD#I'm regretful that my employer picked this one.The GateKeeper Chrome extension is a web password manager that installs along with the GateKeeper application and provides users secure access to their web login credentials. Having tried LastPass (not great but still better than Keeper), 1Password (great on Mac at least didn't try other platforms) and Bitwarden (great on most platforms slight issues on Android), Keeper is the worst password manager yet. Normally I'm pretty tolerant of bugs, but from a product that feels unpolished all around, it's harder to forgive. Can't type my password beyond a few characters, and even if I paste my password in, can't log in. #KEEPER PASSWORD MANAGER GOOGLE CHROME EXTENSION UPDATE#Why?Īlso the desktop app by default adds global keyboard shortcuts that could very well break functionality in other programs.Īnd with today's update (early May 2021), they broke the thing completely. They bring you to another page where you can check the setting. The extension settings' interface is just plain weird, with green-on-blue dots indicating things that are turned on (accessibility anyone?), yet those "toggles" don't really do anything. The app has Windows Hello, but the extension doesn't. Logging into the extension and the app are entirely different processes. Now you've got to click a couple more times, because they put the email address, password and 2FA on different pages. That's assuming the icons work though, because leaving your browser unattended for a long time could cause it all to stop working and require a browser restart. So logging into a site often requires you to juggle between the icon in the top right and the icons on the fields. Why they didn't just simplify everyone's life by putting everything into the icon is beyond me.īut logging in TO KEEPER happens in the icon. ![]() Click the extension icon, however, and you're greeted by. It works with little icons in the text fields, but the pop-up that tells you to log in comes from the extension icon. ![]() "It works, but." is the best way I can describe it. I'm on latest Firefox ESR, Linux Mint 19.3.Ĭonsistent with the rest of the Keeper experience. Every update gives me hope, only to be squashed again after a few minutes of working fine. As soon as I turn it off, everything works fine again. #KEEPER PASSWORD MANAGER GOOGLE CHROME EXTENSION TRIAL#For the record: I hate Google docs with it's insatiable hunger for RAM!) I only realized after extensive trial and error that it's this add-on's fault. And my CPU usage is through the roof (showing that an add-on is using significant resources, not a webpage, so for once it's not Google's fault. For my work, I need to have several google docs open at the same time - and whenever this add-on is enabled, those are in a constant "(trying to) re-connect" loop. When it works, it's great! I need it for work, but sadly, updates during the past year started to conflict with Google Docs. On the plus side: as soon as I turn the add-on off again, it feels like I have a super-speedy, new PC! As in nothing works anymore, I can't even get to Alt+F2 xkill and have to push my PC's reboot button. I reproduced it now **4** times, all with the same outcome: now, instead of only Google docs getting extreeeeemmmly slow and constantly dis- + re-connecting my system absolutely freezes. UPDATE: My hopes that the recent, March '22, update would fix things have sadly turned out to be utterly wrong. Oh irony: this add-on works together perfectly with GDocs + GMail in a Chromium browser. (Really: who knows?) I have to use G for work it's sadly not a choice, as I despise the company and its products. Same procedure as last time: was jubilant at the prospect of an update - applied it, it worked for about 3 hours (yay!), then the dreaded conflict with Google docs + mail appeared again: they go offline and keep trying to reconnect. So, the extremely bad outcome from the March update has been changed back to just an unusable state again, like it was before that update. ![]() #KEEPER PASSWORD MANAGER GOOGLE CHROME EXTENSION PC#May 26 '22 UPDATE: On the plus side: my PC doesn't freeze anymore. ![]()
