Autofill-focused password manager?

A entry-based password manager? - Feddit

I dont agree with many things apple does at all, and I also think their password manager has flaws like revealing usernames without authentification. It is pretty handy though, to have a file where the entries are stored unencrypted, and if the password manager detects an entry it prompts to decrypt exactly that field, maybe with a fingerprint. KeepassDX needs to run in the background and be completely unlocked to even detect apps or password fields. Do you know any existing app that can do this?

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.

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.
