I suspect he's wrong because he's disabled some of KeepassXC's most important security features. One of the largest security threats to users is phishing websites, getting an email and clicking a link, and then typing your actual password into some fake hacker's webpage. Having browser integration in your password manager, such that it auto-enters the right password on "real-bank.com", but doesn't enter it on "rel-bank.com", is a strong protection against phishing. The maintainer disabled the browser integration for KeepassXC, which forces users to copy+paste passwords into webpage's password inputs, making them significantly more vulnerable to phishing. Their fear-mongering about supply-chain attacks and bugs in more LoC is silly when compared to the very real threat of phishing attacks, which are way more prevalent and a way more severe threat. |
