Password manager on private space?

whiskeywalrus

I have a password manager that blocks the VPN I use so I have so far had to resort to split tunneling to bypass that. Does anyone else have experience installing password manager to the private space and using it to apps (autofill) outside the private space? Or work profile for that matter.

As addendum is there any other potential problems that may arise with apps installed in the private space versus regular install if the app requires e.g. accessibility or other advanced permissions?

Sounds like some proprietary stuff that shouldn't handle your passwords anyway.
I suggest to use something like Bitwarden.

Given that private space is fully isolated from your other apps, I highly doubt this would work.

I would suggest changing your password manager if it blocks your VPN.

Open_Source_Enjoyer it's exactly Bitwarden that I have which blocks some Mullvad servers 😅

I don't think it should work. The prompt to create a private space says that the apps will stop when the space is locked; it might work as-is but risk to not work in the future post-update. You could always try with a program like KeepassDX and play with the different options. It uses the near universal kpbx file format, which are encrypted and can either be kept local or synced over the network. I don't have any needs for the later.

And you can have as many kpbx files as you want and expirement for free.

Lol, I didn't know that Bitwarden is blocking any VPNs.
A new thing learned I guess
