Add a quick access button to report autofill issues more easily

feature request: it would be great if there was a quick button for in the bitwarden browser plugin to report sites where the autofill is not working (happens regularly)

Feel free to ping if you want this feature request reopened.

I think this could help us to share problems with BITWARDEN team.

You could select those domains with most reports and fix than

:waving_hand: all,

Hope y’all OK!

Thanks for software

As title

If you’re reading and:

  • agree then please vote up (e.g. +1, like), or;

  • disagree then please vote down (e.g. -1, dislike) - I’d love to know why?

Welcome feedback/input

PS I found this old topic, which is now locked (:confused:) hence creating this new topic, so feel free to direct me at another similar topic if one exists so we can merge

@ldexterldesign Welcome to the forum!

I just have merged your request with this one. (you might want to edit your previous title into your post now)

As a new forum user, all feature requests are “locked” in regards to voting for you, until you reach the next “trust level”.

Closed topics/feature requests can be recognised by the :locked: in the title.

@Nail1684 :waving_hand:

Thanks for quick reply

I suggest you consider changing your policy by allowing anyone (ie including new users) to vote then you might get more than 3 votes in 6 years for - what I consider - a basic feature of many password managers with autofill?!

“Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others” - Robustness principle - Wikipedia

FYI I don’t intend to come back here (nothing personal!) so unlikely I will reach your “trusted user” - IMO trust shouldn’t be a prerequisite for reporting a UX issue or making an enhancement suggestion (or voting on an existing suggestion!)

:crossed_fingers:

Just FYI, that is the current requirement:

“Voting on feature requests requires Trust Level 1 (enter at least 5 topics, read at least 30 posts, and spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts).”

It’s up to you. For one thing, this the Trust Level system that the Discourse forum software uses – and from what I understand, this is also a safety mechanism to prevent skewing the votes by mass registration of new forum accounts, and making sure it’s hopefully real humans (and not bots) which are somewhat commited to the Bitwarden community.

PS: If you ever search for autofill bug report links again: you can find them in the “Welcome” post: Welcome to Bitwarden

PPS:

You can report bugs – and UI/UX inconsistencies are a borderline case, maybe – at any time on GitHub: Bitwarden · GitHub

:ok_hand:

I understand why the rules exist but just because Discord has arbitrary default rules doesn’t make it correct - the end goal here is community and improving Bitwarden, right?! Have you ever had a skewing problem?: if na then my suggestion stands.

Why isn’t this link somewhere obvious in the extension?

:crossed_fingers:

@Nail1684

Hmm, I can’t see an obvious repo to post to; but ya debatable whether broken autofills are bugs and a way to add autofill logins I’d consider feature request / enhancement - I get every password manager can’t have perfect autofills 100% of the time :person_shrugging:

@Nail1684

Annoying:

  • new users can’t post >1 link
  • new users have to wait a minute before posting (ie posting too fast)
  • new users can’t vote
  • …

It’s ridiculous UX - loosen up!

FYR I am a user who uses BW and wants to see it improve - I tend not to use websites that are annoying :expressionless_face:

I hope this helps

:waving_hand:

These restrictions are necessary to prevent distribution of spam and malware, or other vandalism of the forum.

No – arguably exactly because we have these rules. :+1:

You are right here – autofill issues shouldn’t be reported on GitHub, but via those “autofill issues Google forms”.

That’s why I wrote bugs (and also mentioned UI/UX inconsistencies). If you ever want to report those, then here are the direct links to the correct repositories.

Though I can understand your feedback – as one of the volunteer mods here I’m really happy we have those rules and therefore a mostly very healthy community space, I think. And we intend to keep it that way. :wink:
