How to integrate KeePass and Chrome/Chromium using ChromIPass?

Question

I'm trying to integrate KeePass and Chrome/Chromium after installing ChromIPass when I try to connect to KeePass, It gives the following error:

ChromeIPass has been disconnected from KeePassHttp.
Association was unsuccessful
Press the reconnect button to establish a new connection.

How can I connect ChromeIPass with KeePass?

Does opening http://localhost:19455 in chrome show a page? Does your host file still have 127.0.0.1 associated with localhost? Did you install security related software? — Rinzwind, May 03 '12 at 09:12
Thanks for the reply Rinzwind. I am not a geek. I can follow simple user friendly instructions and installation. — abvyas, May 03 '12 at 09:38
You need not be a geek to answer all 3. The 1st is opening a wegpage and the 3rd is a question about software you recently installed. Even the middle one is just a more /etc/hosts from commandline to check if it is has a line stating 127.0.0.1 localhost in it. Nothing geek about it :+ — Rinzwind, May 03 '12 at 09:43

Follow these steps for installing KeePass 2

Press Alt+Ctrl+T to start terminal and run following commands one by one.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jtaylor/keepass
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install keepass2 mono-complete

Go to this link and download "KeePassHttp.dll" and "Newtonsoft.Json.dll"

Press Alt+F2 and run gksu nautilus to open Nautilus as root.

Copy both files to: /usr/lib/keepass2

Open Chrome/Chromium and install ChromeIPass

Open KeePass, and visit any login page in Chrome/Chromium i.e gmail.com.

Click the KeePass icon in the URL bar and click the "Connect" button.

You should see this dialog box

Enter any name for your browser here and save it. That's It.

Any reason for installing KeePass 2 from some PPA? It's in the main Ubuntu repositories. https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/keepass2/ – gertvdijk Feb 24 '14 at 10:23
@user35186 It's still possible to download a compatible version from the history. E.g. for KeePassHttp.dll: https://github.com/pfn/keepasshttp/commits/master/mono/KeePassHttp.dll – gertvdijk Jan 02 '15 at 12:04
ChromelPass link is dead, I believe along with the project. Here is a discussion of KeePass with plugins on Ubuntu and either browser integration in general and that is more current: "KeePass and Ubuntu 20.04 Setup (with Chrome, Firefox)?" https://askubuntu.com/questions/1228389/keepass-and-ubuntu-20-04-setup-with-chrome-firefox – alchemy Apr 19 '20 at 02:01
