✅ Add a reference number under password characters for websites that require 3rd, 7th, 12th character

Feature Requests Password Manager

I also have a number of accounts where only certain characters from the password are required. Something I do that works about half the time (depending on how the site is coded) is store individual characters as custom fields. For example:

  • My password is EXAMPLE1
  • The site is coded so if they want characters 2, 4 and 8, the form fields are named “passwordChar2”, “passwordChar4” and “passwordChar8”. Check this by viewing the page HTML source.
  • I store custom fields called “passwordChar1”, “passwordChar2”, etc. with values ‘E’, ‘X’, etc.
  • When I’m asked for three characters from my password, I just click the account as normal in Bitwarden and the correct letters are filled in for me. In the example above, X - M - 1.

As I mentioned, this doesn’t work for all websites. Some don’t name the form fields this way, in which case having the character positions visible would be quite handy.
