aliases in your KeePassXC

aliases in your KeePassXC The "Double-Tap" Workflow Donations Ivy Stone Place Sathero Meters DMS International BLOG Since KeePassXC doesn't have a built-in API connector for alias services (unlike Bitwarden), the "integration" is more of a workflow strategy. It’s all about making the KeePassXC-Browser extension and your alias service work in tandem. Here is the most efficient way to handle this on a desktop setup: 1. The "Double-Tap" Workflow The smoothest way to manage this is to use the browser extension for your alias service (SimpleLogin or Addy.io) alongside the  KeePassXC-Browser  extension. Generate:  When on a sign-up page, click your alias extension icon to generate a new address and copy it. Paste & Register:  Paste the alias into the "Email" field on the website and create your password.

The "Big Five" Records Before you start, log in to your alias service and go to Custom Domains > Add Domain. They will give you five specific records to copy. They usually look like this: Record Type Host/Name Value/Points To Priority TXT @ sl-verification=xxxxx... N/A MX (1) @ mx1.simplelogin.co. 10 MX (2) @ mx2.simplelogin.co. 20 SPF (...

Custom Email Domain for Aliases

Custom Email Domain for Aliases Make it more professional Donations Ivy Stone Place Sathero Meters DMS International BLOG How to set up a custom domain for email aliases Setting up a custom domain (like @yourname.com) for email aliases is a "pro-tier" move for privacy. It gives you complete  portability : if you ever decide to leave a service like  SimpleLogin  or  Addy.io , you can just point your domain to a new provider and all your aliases will still work. Here is how to set it up. 1. Choose Your Alias Provider Most people choose between  SimpleLogin  (best if you already use Proton) or  Addy.io  (excellent open-source option). SimpleLogin:  Included with Proton Mail paid plans, or available standalone. Addy.io:  Very flexible; requires a "Lite" plan (about $1/month) to use a custom domain. 2. The Setup Process Regardless of the service you choose, the technical steps are nearly identical: Step A: Buy a Domain If you don't have one, ...
