How to integrate KeePass2 and Firefox using Kee in Ubuntu 18.04 - 20.04?
I have already Installed KeePass2 and also installed both Add-ons Kee. But I don't know how to integrate it.
How can I accomplish this?
Ubuntu 14.04, 15.10 / Linux Mint 17
First, you neither need PassIFox
nor the extra PPA describe by @Faisal Haq Salafi as mono-complete
and keepass2
are already available in the repository.
Installation
- Download & Install KeeFox add-ons
-
install
keepass2
andmono
CLI compiler and system manager library:sudo apt-get install keepass2 mono-dmcs libmono-system-management4.0-cil libmono-system-numerics4.0-cil
- upvote Faisal Haq Salafi for answer basis;
-
upvote Simounet for narrowing down the package list (6Mo vs. 125Mo with
mono-complete
);
Configuration
KeePass plugin location:
/usr/lib/keepass2/plugins
-
Keefox
- KeePass installation location:
/usr/lib/keepass2
- Mono executable location:
/usr/bin/mono
- KeePass installation location:
KeePassRPC plugin
# create a plugins sub-directory in keepass2 directory
sudo sh -c 'mkdir /usr/lib/keepass2/plugins'
# copy the keefox plugin into it
sudo ln --force --no-dereference --symbolic $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/extensions/[email protected]/deps/KeePassRPC.plgx /usr/lib/keepass2/plugins/
Restart
Quit and restart both:
- Keepass2, then unlock your vault;
- Firefox, check keefox icon for information
Ubuntu > 18.04 - 20.04
Install KeyPass2:
Press Alt+Ctrl+T to start terminal and run following commands one by one.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jtaylor/keepass sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install keepass2 mono-complete
Open Firefox, install Kee
from Add-on
Tools>Add-ons
Search for Kee
and install it.
Open as Administrator (Access), skip if you have it, if not follow the step.
sudo apt install nautilus-admin nautilus -q
Download KeePassRPC plugins
KeePassRPC.plgx
Right click plugins (/usr/lib/keepass2/plugins) folder select
"Open as Administrator"
Copy Paste the latest version of KeePassRPC into the plugins folder
/usr/lib/keepass2/plugins
You're all done!

Since the 1.6.0 version of KeeFox, this trick is not working. New libs are required. At the moment, I found libmono2.0-cil
but there is more. I posted a topic on the the KeeFox forum.
[Original post]
KeeFox don't need everything from mono, so it's useless to install mono-complete
. mono-dmcs
and libmono-system-management4.0-cil
must be enough. So, this command must do the trick:
sudo apt-get install keepass2 mono-dmcs libmono-system-management4.0-cil
With this method, you'll spare more than 120Mo and a bunch of useless lib to keep up to date. I get this requirement from the KeeFox GitHub wiki: https://github.com/luckyrat/KeeFox/wiki/en-|-Running-KeeFox-under-Mono
