Hey all!

(I did post this in c/flatpak, but this community is more active. I am not sure where would be more appropriate)

Something that I have been wanting to get working is having my browser and password manager both in flatpak. I really like being sandbox and having faster updates if the distro is on the slower side perhaps.

I have a set up with Firefox as a deb and keepassxc as a flat and that works find as one would expect. I did want to install Vivaldi as a flatpak and was not able to get it to talk with keepass.

In my reading I found this: installing KeePassXC natively, which you’d actually want for security reasons.

What is mean by that line of reasoning?

    works fine as one would expect. Not that self explanatory, I wonder how

    install Vivaldi as a flatpak and was not able to get it to talk with keepass.

    No the native messaging portal is missing

    What is mean by that line of reasoning?

    Makes no sense. The Flatpak is official and more isolated than native packages. Reduce the number of system apps as much as possible.

    See my thread on the methods but they are all hacky. You could copy the KeepassXC binary to the Browser flatpak container and launch it from there. But this needs to be repeated on every update, but it is possible and can be automated.
