Feature Request: Contacts Improvements

[S.Le]

I recently found out that we could add contacts inside of passwordstate. I find this useful and could really be helpful in managing vendors and contractors.  Unfortunately, as it exist today - there is only a "personal" and "global" option.

 

With regards to personal - I would maintain my own personal contacts from within my Outlook software. I find the Global option useful for things like our Print/Copy maintenance vendor, or our Purchasing account managers for the entire organization.

 

What it lacks and what i'd like to request as a feature are:

 

• The ability to create groups and tying it to the built-in permission system to allow others to see the "group" shared contacts
• The ability to create additional custom fields, preferably ad-hoc. I'd like to include my contact's Job Title and perhaps additional support or maintenance email on top of their direct email.
• The ability for contacts to be searchable via the browser extension since often my web-session would log me out quicker than my addon/extension and it would be convenient to look it up via that then having to log in w/ OTP and search for one contact.

 

I'm not sure if anyone else out there is using this and would love to hear others feedback.

 

Thanks for your consideration.

Now that I've moved over my contacts from Outlook/Exchange into PasswordState - here's how i'm doing it and what I think could be time savers/improvements in the future:

 

• Create a list template strictly for contacts
• Create a default password list generator for PIN (4-6 digits), apply default PIN password policy to contact list template. Use password field as PIN for some accounts that need it.
• Re-purpose some of the fields because you only get ten custom fields for the following columns:
  • Title = Job/Position Title of contact person
  • Username = First & Last Name
  • Description
  • Email
  • Company
  • Account ID (Account # when contacting support)
  • Business Phone
  • Mobile Phone
  • Support Phone
  • Support Email
  • Manager / Reports to
  • Manager Phone/Email
  • Last Updated
  • URL
  • Password Generator: PIN Generator
  • Password
  • Confirm Password

 

I'd like to tie additional attributes but it was not possible due to the current limitation of the ten existing custom fields.  I'd also like a faster way to import contacts - which exists currently as CSV but requires processing, perhaps a VCF or vcard import.
