“This reminds me of some historical facts - for example, lisp had several versions - programmers made commonlisp - which had features common to different implementations of lisp.”.“The main objective of having a universal password import and export format for all browsers is to make life easier for users.”.So why don’t we have the same Keepass format for importing/exporting passwords in all browsers? - reference here Netscape bookmarks” “ It’s 2022, and the bookmarks format is the same as it was in 1999.When I refer to a universal standard for importing/exporting passwords, I say that it would be interesting, as I said before, to adopt the keepass open format for this.” - link I believe that for this to be done, we have to adopt the standard of open solutions with MIT/GPL open licenses, etc.

I argue that to have good security/privacy of user data we have to have a universal standard in importing/exporting passwords.

“The problem with passwords today is that every browser implements the way to import and export passwords.

“Frankly there is absolutely no incentive to browser programmers to incorporate the keepass format.” - link.

What are the problems to make this possible, viable? Or what problems do not make this possible, viable?

There is a closed technical discussion on privacycg about this, but no response: linkĢ.

“Mozilla Firefox is considering making a similar implementation - it is not known when: link”.

“Keepass has been around for a long time and is a well-established, popular solution known all over the world.”.

It guarantees the same process of importing/exporting passwords in a secure way, since in theory all browsers will be able to use the same standard.

Therefore, open this possibility in this topic

There are several requests that have been thought about this, however I haven’t found much technical information on how this could be done.

I would like to help wicg in some way with some amazing, innovative idea or provide ways to make the web better in terms of technical goals: better security, better performance, helping end users to use the web for their research, better privacy etc.This can make all the differences and possibilities of passwords between browsers possible, unique.

Keepass import password safe
