I cannot seem to get the chrome plugin to work, i follow the install instructions, copied the KeePassRPC.plgx to the kee pass plugins folder, i got the kee loaded on chrome, but it shows wrong database loaded, and no entries in it.
EDIT:
Ok got it to work.
We first need to make a new entry (register with user+pass in a site), then a new branch will be created to our database call Kee backup …etc… If we move all of our database entries there, the kee can recognize them inside chrome. Not the most solid solution (at least for me, i have many sub headers inside my database), but works for now!
I can’t this 2.0 beta to work in firefox. The symbol shows it as logged on but left or right clicking it does not bring up any menu. It is also not filling any passwords in. I went back to the release version and everything works.
Thanks for the update. I’m glad you’ve got it working now but you’re right that it doesn’t sound like an ideal solution. It’s certainly not what I expect to be required and it is not the case with my database. I’ll try to recreate the problem you describe when I next get some spare time but in the mean time, I’m wondering whether you’ve ever used KeeFox with this KeePass database before?
The “Kee backup” folder you mention is most likely the one that is created in order to store newly created passwords and should not be required to make Kee work.
Can you try right-clicking on the top/root group/folder in your database and select “Set as KeeFox startup group” and see if that now allows you to put your KeePass entries where you would like?
Thanks for the info. For https://github.com/kee-org/browser-addon/issues/39 have you found or created a Firefox bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org? It’s possible that Mozilla aren’t aware of the bug and it’s not something that I can reproduce so I can’t really report the details to them but anything where resizing the window causes the problem to go away or in some way change is a definite Firefox bug and I’m sure they’d be interested to hear about it if they’re not already working on a fix.
@luckyrat, I would like to report bug #39 to Mozilla. But, sorry, I do not speak English, I use an online translator, which will be difficult to report the bug. It’s better to do it yourself, by giving the topic url #39 for Mozilla to understand the problem.

Hello again!
Thanks for your support, i really appreciate it!
I was using the same database to firefox, yes, and the solution you gave me (right-clicking on the top/root group/folder in your database and select “Set as KeeFox startup group”) did work for me, now it is fine!
Thanks again for your help!
If i can make some suggestions, if it’s possible of course, and if you find them useful:
can you make the matched login entries appear when we click the toolbar icon, inside the same window, instead of having to click the “matched login entries”?
Can you make the icon in the toolbar show some kind of visual difference when matched logins are found for this page?
I saw that enabling kee 2.0 disabled chrome’s own password manager. Is there a way to leave it enabled while using kee at the same time?
Thanks again for all of your hard work, i was using keefox for years, and i am very happy to see it on chrome too! Keep up the good work!
I am unable to launch KeePass from Kee because the link is missing from the entry box. It says “You are not logged in to your password database. Launch KeePass to enable Kee” (see screen shot below).
If I start KeePass separately, Kee will find it. The box then says “You are logged in to your ‘’ password database” and there is no link. The links to Generate New Password, Help Centre and Options are there and work. See screen shot below.
I am using Kee 2.0.0.20b2 (since I am using a Mac, Firefox requires me to use the beta version) with KeePass 2.35, KeePassRPC 1.7.3, mono 5.0.1, Firefox 56.0.2 and OS X 10.10.5.
I will try downgrading back to KeeFox 1.7.2b1, which will presumably fix the problem for me for now, but I thought you would want to know about it.

When I first started KeePass since Kee loaded, it asked for a new key for the link to Kee, but there was also an error message, which might be helpful:
Installed this afternoon thinking I’d give myself a week before the official FF57 release to play with Kee, but my browser quickly started locking up and became completely unreliable. I’ll head over to GitHub and try to follow the conversation there to see if there’s anything I can contribute (unlikely, I suspect), but for now I’m uninstalling from my primary profile.
I now realise that I just didn’t read the Kee 2.0 Features page carefully. (Though I think that the new box when Kee is off could be worded so as to offer more of a hint to stupid KeeFox users like myself - e.g. “Launch KeePass externally to enable Kee”.)
It’s a tough call. I think the simplicity of not talking at all about how one launches it is better for some users, especially those that haven’t used KeeFox before. That said, if we had a few more weeks before having to launch to all users, I’d consider some short-term adjustments to the wording. Unfortunately it’s too late to do that now.
Great extension! It’s working fine for me on Firefox, but in Chrome, it gives me a blank “Matched Logins” screen. I’m definitely logged in to my Keepass database, and I know I have an entry for this website (in Firefox, Kee finds and fills the entry from the same database).
