Tusk is no longer actively maintained.
- Is it still safe? Yes. As far as the community is aware, Tusk's security model is still the same. You may continue using Tusk, and I will keep the third party integrations (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) active. Please contact me through my website to report security concerns.
- Why is it unsuppored? Because I no longer prefer the keepass ecosystem. I believe version control and data sync should be a core feature of any password manager.
- Any good alternatives? I've switched entirely to Password Store + BrowserPass and I'm happier now. If you want something more user friendly, I highly recommend Bitwarden. To remain with Keepass, try Kee or KeepassXC-Browser.
- Could someone else take over? If you have a lot of time and are interested in taking over leadership of Tusk, please contact me through my website and tell me about yourself and what you'd like to do with Tuisk. It has over 25 thousand active users, and I'm sure they would all love to see the project live on.

How it works: Implementation Details
This section provides in-depth information about how tusk works under the hood. We aim to provide better transparency and give users peace-of-mind. Tusk may not be perfect, but it's better than proprietary black-box applications that hide design flaws from the community.
- Credential Cache Memory - How Tusk can optionally keep your master password cached.
- Sensitive Data - How Tusk handles sensitive data like KeePass databases and keyfiles.
Build Setup
Tusk requires:
node
npm
yarn
# install dependencies
yarn install
# build static DLL resources (optional)
yarn build-dll
# build for production with minification
yarn build
# run the packer script targeted for 'chrome' and 'firefox' after build.
# this step generates the zip archives submitted to Chrome/Firefox addon marketplaces.
yarn bundle
# static reload with file watch for tests
yarn dev-tests
For detailed explanation on how things work, consult the docs for vue-loader.
Running tests
To run tests, first build them with yarn build-tests
or yarn watch-tests
then open tests/test.html
in a browser.
Browser Permissions
Tusk requires cross-origin permissions in order to inject credentials and query the storage backends on the user's behalf.
In chrome, these permissions requests are always prompted to the user upon first use.
Because of Firefox's implementation of browser.permissions
, it was necessary to request all permissions at install time to avoid code rot. A deeper explanation of the firefox permissions can be found on stackoverflow
FAQ
Why is it called Tusk?!
I originally wanted to call it Elephant, as in An elephant never forgets. I tried this name on a couple of friends and they were unimpressed. I wanted to find a name that was more concise but keep the elephant imagery. Ergo, tusk.
What happened to CKPX?
This is it! CKPX has been rebranded as Tusk to mark its Firefox release. The C in CKPX stood for 'Chrome'.
Can I donate money?
I don't want your money. Take whatever you would have given me and find a local charity -- a food bank, a women's shelter or an animal shelter, for example. Enjoy your free software.
So how can I support Tusk?
If you ❤️ Tusk, please consider leaving a positive review on the Firefox Add-on store or the Chrome webstore - I'll be eternally grateful.
