Autofill-focused password manager? (feddit.de)

Thanks for all the comments. Currently I use KeepassXD/DX + Syncthing.

I hash my password with fingerprint on Android, keep a seperate database containing that one in another place for backup. Maybe thats stupid, but I cant type on a phone.

On Linux I use KWallet, store the Keepass password there, and have a shortcut fetching that password and inserting it into the Keepass wallet using KeepassXC. Works with one click too.

Problems

all entries are either locked or unlocked
to have autofill working, the app cant be killed (Android)
also, all passwords need to be decrypted for it to work

I dont see that this is the best solution. Decrypted, maybe hashed metadata possible to detect autofill fields, and then selectively unlock the needed credentials, would be better.

I don't know about iOS but if you use an Android you can try Bitwarden. It detects credential fields and when you tap in them a little popup appers that offers Bitwarden to auto-fill these fields. When you then tap on that it opens Bitwarden and it offers all fitting entries from your vault. Select the one you want to use and then it fills the fields.
Maybe that's what you're looking for? I really love that feature.

Thanks but I guess their db works exactly like Keepass. It has to be fully unlocked for that to work, and I dont know if that makes sense.

You can actually keep it locked and it still works. It just prompts you to unlock it when you press the auto fill button. It also means that it won't show autofill suggestions on the login screen and just a generic bitwarden autofill button. You can change how long it stays unlocked for between immediately to any custom number of hours / minutes or only on app restart.

Interesting yes I think thats correct! So it actually does work on Android, just not as well on Linux, if at all with the Flatpak mess.

Yeah I don't use the flatpak / desktop app at all, since I have the browser extension installed which does autofill and also has the same vault lock options as the mobile app.
