Is it possible to use the android beta with a self hosted Bitwarden instance?

Absolutely :slight_smile: Just remember to make regular backups.

Is there a place that describes what’s actually a beta feature vs not? Assuming I got the urge to “stress test” a feature. Roadmap or GitHub?

Hi @not, which platform are you testing on? When you access Bitwarden through Testflight, you’ll see:

What to Test

'We’ve added support for multiple simultaneous accounts! Let us know if you experience any issues with this new feature."

I’m using the Beta version of the Android app, have been for quite a while. Most of the autofill bugs have been fixed through disabling Samsung’s battery saver (and a couple options in Android developer flags). The only one that’s unfixable is Chromium’s decision to let browsers generate their own field names. But I’m sure you and the others are aware of that.

The one feature I’d be looking to stress test would be custom fields. It’s supposedly unworkable in Android. But I’m unclear if that’s because it’s so hard to get the field name in the first place or not. I’m not above digging into the HTML to find out. Like hypothetically if I did get the correct field name, would Bitwarden recognize it?

And happily no problems to report with account switching. I’ve added my mom to my organization and she does NOT have the MP lol. I’ve been switching back and forth tidying up her stuff. Real great password hygiene that convinced me that I did NOT make the wrong choice.

Thanks for the detailed information!

Can we get an updated link for the 2022.8.x Testflight that just popped up on iOS, please? Cheers :slight_smile:

Hey there, where are you seeing that? Just checking it out and it looks like it hasn’t entered testing status yet? Let me know and I’ll look into it.

Like a comparison table?

The iOS Test Flight entry has completely disappeared. Did the team purposefully disable the availability of this program without communication? Bad user experience to have no access to the application without downloading the stable client.

I’m signing up for the Beta Program! I’ve been a big BW fan since I switched from LastPass. Excited to help the community.

Where to get invitation code for ios test flight?

Once you install TestFlight on your device, click the link up in the original post. That should do it!

Yeah, already found it! Thanks! :wink: Wasn’t able to get Passkey to work on my phone though… It force that I enable Apple Keychain… no idea how to pass this.

I wasn’t able to use the passkey(which was created on my iPad) on my iPhone. iPad and iPhone client definitely are synced, I can see the passkey created date on both of my devices. When I chose bitwarden for passkey login and chose the exact account, it errored just like choosing other accounts without passkeys. Both of my devices are in testflight beta.

hold on, you can add passkeys from mobile devices?!

On iPad, yes. iPhone, no.
