Right now when you save a new password, that password is always saved in the no-folder and then afterwards you can organize it in a folder. This was fine for me as long as I was using bitwarden only for my personal passwords. I had no need to organize my passwords in folders anyway.
Requested feature
I would like to be able to configure in the settings of the browser extension which folder I would like all new passwords to be saved to by default.
Motivation
These days, because of Corona, Iâve been moving between jobs a lot. And every time I begin at a new job, I set up a new profile in my Chrome browser to isolate all the work related browser history and extensions from my personal profile. And I also install the bitwarden extension in that second profile every time. I just use my personal bitwarden account for that, because it seems a bit overkill to make a new bitwarden account every time I change jobs. So what I do is that I create a separate folder in which I save all my work-related passwords and then when I leave that job after a few months I delete all the passwords from that folder.
But this workflow is a bit sensitive to user error, because sometimes I forget to move a newly saved password to the right folder. If my requested feature would be implemented then I wouldnât have to worry about that anymore. Then I just know that every password that I save from my work-related Chrome profile will be saved in my work-related folder in bitwarden.
Yeah letâs do this, Iâve been wanting this for a long timeâŚ
Itâs a simple client-side property if you want to do it fast, defaultFolder=âpersonalâ or whatever.
Basically just to select a default folder locally. Ideally it would be synced everywhere but itâs a start at least.
Just to share my usecase: Iâm using BitWarden with multiple Chrome Profiles, aka one-project/company=one-chrome-profile.
It would be great if I could set the default folder as a browser extension setting, not a global setting. This way I could set it per my chrome profile.
Just a heads up that this is the main reason Iâm using 1Password and NOT Bitwarden
Their extension includes a setting so you can manage vaults ( unlimited ) [Equivalent of folders ] per browser as described here!
So at the moment I have a lot browsers ( school, work, personal and a couple more ) and a vault for each of them
On the respective browser I go to extension settings and turn off the ones I donât want to use/see on that browser and thatâs it, no confusion, really straight forward.
Going to stick with 1Password for now just for that
When you create a new password, it would be nice if you could default it to a folder of your choice, rather than having to select the folder every time.
I find it frustrating that every time I save a password, I must choose a folder. This is a new behavior that Iâm not used to, so I simply click âsave passwordâ and that results in it not being saved. Not even a notification pops up to let you know you messed up and didnât select a folder.
Please allow a default folder. I never even wanted folders, but I think lastpass automatically made them so they imported into Bitwarden. It would be great to be able to just merge them all into a single folder easily.
That doesnât sound right to me. If youâre e.g. talking about the âNew loginâ dialog, then I think the current default should be âNo folderâ â and all items should be saved, but without a âfolder assignmentâ.
You should be able to see all those items as stored - and in the âAll itemsâ list of the extension, or if you choose âItems with no folderâ in the âFoldersâ filter (last entry in the folders list there):
You can bulk assign items to a folder in the web vault (vault.bitwarden.com / vault.bitwarden.eu). Just mark the items / or âAll itemsâ, then click the âbulkâ three-dot-menu on the right, and choose a folder after clicking âAdd to folderâ:
