Description
Currently I find no information on how the service is integrated in the browser. I have everything set up on my nextcloud instance and I have imported my passwords from Firefox. However I have no idea on how the addon is meant to be used and I can't find instructions for it anywhere. Here are just a few of the things confusing me:
- Whenever a password field is automatically filled out, is that from Firefox's vault or Passman?
- When a new password is entered, I don't get asked by Passman if it should be saved. Is automatically integrated with Firefox's password system so that if I click "update password" is that updated in Passman as well?
- When I click the passman icon in the Firefox toolbar I see all login information saved for the site. But I can't click it to autofill it, or even view password (without editing).
Benefit / value
Having documentation for this would help new users that aren't familiar with the system to start using it and benefit from it way quicker.
Risk / caveats
No risks.
