Buttercup is a new password manager, more modern than KeePass for example.
It can import KeePass database.

Sorry... this program is not packaged on pacman nor AUR
So it is a Pkgbuild request

Re: [SOLVED] Buttercup : a modern password manager

The site you linked does not seem to provide the source for this.   I did find https://github.com/buttercup/buttercup, and I think it is the same project, but I cannot prove it.  I sure cannot tell if that site has a different revision than that of the github.

And we are talking passwords here.
And we are talking javascript -- in a browser

This makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Does this make anyone else a bit queasy?

Re: [SOLVED] Buttercup : a modern password manager

The website links to the github page you found and uses it for source downloads so seems to be the same project.

But yes, I too am feeling queasy. Good old pass for me all the way.

Re: [SOLVED] Buttercup : a modern password manager

It's a nodejs app, that makes me queasy on its own.

But the page does at least link to that source (albeit in a somewhat obscure manner) so it should be relatively easy to prove they aren't uploading malicious binaries from some other source code. Assuming you actually want a huge pile of nodejs for a password manager...
