I make it brief, the steps are pretty much universal for Firefox, Brave, Windows except that on Linux SNAP packages are not supported, but this is clearly mentioned in KeePassXC and also visible in the first screenshot.
- Install KeePassXC, on most distros pre-installed.
- Install the Chrome Extension.
- Install Brave as AUR package, the
-binrelease are good enough. - 2FA works too, just click on the little bubble icon if you see the 2FA field.
On KeePassXC end we need to enable the integration
The advance options are optional and normally do not need to be touched. It is up to you if you change something here or not but the popups as return checks, that are enabled by default make sense and IMHO you should not suppress them to avoid accidentally overriding something.
On Browser and Extension side
Make sure you connect the database once you are finished, which will show a popup which you need to manually confirm, this is a simple security check.
In case you are on Brave Beta or Nightly and cannot connect your database to the KeePassXC Browser Integration.
- Copy the file
org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.jsonto~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser-Nightly/NativeMessagingHostsreplace nightly with beta, depending on what you use.

The option is on desktop enabled by default, on Android there are some issues which need to be resolved first which is the reason why its off by default there but I expect to see this introduced into the next stable version.
It is a slight ClearURLs/RedirectURL based solution to directly redirects you automatically to the real URL. It is not advanced as to what CU offers but Brave approach is more to strip down tracking and not to cosmetic alter URLs, this was also discussed on several issue tickets.
