Auto remember last generated username and password

[Nail1684]

@alkuzad Welcome to the forum!

To be honest, I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking for, so I would like to get a better idea of it first…

1. “Ask to add login” and “Ask to update existing login” are already there in the browser extension (Settings → Notifications), so I can understand some frustration with it, but asking for something that is already there… - I’m not sure if that’s what you did? (or are you asking for something else?)

2. If you want a better / improved detection of the “add login” and “update login” notifications, then there probably already is an existing feature request for that: Improve password change/creation detection

3. If you meant (also?) that generated passwords, passphrases and usernames should be “auto-remembered”, then there is already a solution for that: if you open the the browser extension and go to the “Generator”, then scroll down and open “Generator history” → everything you generated with that browser extension should be stored here (as long as you don’t log out on the extension).

@alkuzad

These entries should be auto-remembered when generated so I can just create entries using them instantly.

Could you please explain this sentence to me?

1. When they (entries in the vault?) are generated, why should they be auto-remembered then also?
2. And why do you want to “auto-remember” them “so you just can create those entries”? (when they would be auto-remembered you still want to create them afterwards?)

@alkuzad

I do not want to create an entry for new account before I create an account because it can fail and it will leave the entry that is invalid.

Actually, that would be far easier than what you describe - and we usually recommend that here. If you use the + New button in the browser extension and create a new login, then you can

• generate a password/passphrase in that dialog
• generate a username in that dialog
• add URIs and anything you want (like notes)

If you store that, you can use that entry to autofill (e.g. via drag & fill) those infos for account creation on any given website. – If the site doesn’t accept something, just edit the entry in your vault, and “fill” it again to the site for account creation. – That way always works for me.

@alkuzad

Either make sure that popup “do you want to save this password” always shows up, or add autosave.

I can only repeat that there already is an existing feature request for an “improvement” regarding those pop-ups - but “add autosave” is a bit confusing, as it already exists (like I described it in the first point of my post here). So please make it more clear what you are requesting.

@alkuzad

It is even more frustrating when using the aliased emails, cause I cannot copy to the addon email and then password.

The method I just described above allows also generating an alias email (username generator) and store that in the new login item directly.

I would recommend that method for account creation.
