Account sharing passwords, but not user names, between domains

Ask the Community Password Manager

I’ve got a rather specific use case around right now. I have gotten an account for an organisation that is using the account acrosse all their applications. This account is based on an email address (let’s say [email protected]). In most cases, I can login using my email address and password, so those are all covered by adding extra URLs to the entry in Bitwarden. There are however exceptions. For some specific applications, I have to use John.Harris as login name, and in others they want me to use J.Harris.

Ideally I’d like to couple specific changes in the credentials to specific applications/URLs so that I only have to manage the password in a single place (so that I can just chance it once).

Is there a way to make this work?

@HarryJohnnyboy Welcome to the forum!

The only way this could work with a single vault item is if the username input fields that have different requirements have been coded so that they have a different id attribute (or otherwise distinguishable from the username input fields that expect the full email address). If that is the case, you should be able to set up one or more custom fields to hold the username variants. I would suggest using Right-Click → Inspect to check the HTML code for the username input fields.
