Review Summary
Users generally appreciate the extension's ease of use, privacy benefits, and active development as a Nextcloud password manager. However, multiple reports highlight significant cons: high CPU usage leading to overheating, saving and autofill issues including duplicate passwords and incorrect autofills, and connectivity problems requiring restarts. Users also ask for improved workflow features like password regeneration and a better user interface for password management. Overall, the extension is valued for self-hosted password handling but has room for improvement in reliability and advanced functionality.
