The plugin I used was not maintained by the core project. It was recommended (as much as I can remember) to use the KeePassHttp-Connector for Firefox at the time, which was developed independently by Andy Brandt (kudos to him). This project has now been archived and is no longer maintained.
KeePass is written in C# (.NET framework). It officially supports macOS and Linux operating systems through the use of Mono, which is an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework. Therefore, it has the native look-and-feel of a Windows program. This can be a bit weird on Linux and MacOS, but not that big deal!
KeePassXC is an open source project written in C++. It is compiled to platform-specific exectuables, so it has the native look-and-feel of the OS it is running on.
KeePass was my first choice password manager, but as time went by, I noticed that it has some persistent issues. Its time to look for a replacement!
For example, I have the following entry for GitHub. You can use "https://github.com" for the URL field, no need to give the URL for the actual signin page, KeePassXC will recognize the login page when you open it for websites.
If you prefer to use an online service, you can try LastPass (Freemium proprietary), 1Password (Paid proprietary), or Bitwarden (Freemium proprietary). I don't want someone to host my passwords, however airtight everything is. No deal for me.
