When I first saw that Firefox 3 would permit the implementation of custom storage mechanisms for the built in Firefox password manager I immediately thought of the possibility of integrating a KeePass database neatly into the Firefox user interface and therefore allowing a way for users to make use of the system they are already used to in Firefox while benefiting from the extra non-firefox features that KeePass offers.

It seems as though the authors of the interface had similar ideas:
"For example, if you wish to provide operating system integration with a native password manager system, implementing and registering a storage module for the Login Manager is how you do it."

I'm pleased to announce that version 0.1 of KeeFox has now been released. The version number gives you a clue but just to be explicit, this is not suitable for end users and is probably not even suitable for any but the most intrigued developers.

This version demonstrates many of the functions and technologies that will be used as we develop the project further but it's not much to look at yet.
