Add Autofill button in "View Item" view for the browser extensions

So, oftentimes I need to go inside the card (especially, no pun intended, for credit card cards) to make sure it’s the one I want to use), but then I need to go back to the long list of cards/accounts to use the autofill.

Please add the autofill button inside the cards.
(Unless I am oblivious and it’s already there - I am not seeing it.)

I modified your topic title to be more descriptive (was: “Add `Autofill` button inside the cards for the browser extensions”).

Yes, I am hardly following this community but came back for this exact reason. I forgot even how it worked previously, but I definitely do open the individual secrets because sometimes it’s not clear which account it is, the name is truncated, I must open it to know… and then I need to go back again. Super annoying additional steps. That worked better with the previous version (Chrome extension)

Please also provide this feedback in the feedback thread:

Although I agree that that having all the buttons on the “view tab” also be available in “view item”, there is another trick that may make this less of a problem until (if at all) this is implemented.

There is no harm with changing the “item name” field. You can put anything in there that helps you distinguish between your cards/accounts.

The item name is not used to figure out what to autofill. That is determined by the Website field further down the page:

I was not a user of the community but had to register just to complain about this same problem. It’s so annoying I had to go to the details to check some notes on the item, and then go back and search through all the list again the item to click fill…

So I can go change that option, thanks! But the point has been missed, in my opinion. A new user is still stuck with a default UI that undermines the purpose of a password manager.

Why isn’t the autofill button in the View Login screen anymore? By default? These two changes, together, are the problem. The user ends up on View Login by accident… where the core function has been removed entirely.

99 / 100 times I launch the Bitwarden extension, I want to auto-fill on the tab I am currently on. I assume the vast majority of users are the same. The auto-fill functionality has been diminished or removed from the primary screens the user engages with. And 99 / 100, I have to back up and try again bc of the UI changes.

+1 to this feature request.

Since the december update the UX for saving URLs onto a pre-existing login record became worse.

Someone highlighted how to do it in the new UI but still there should just be an easier one click way of save the URL to match a login record, a button for “Fill and save” one click should be made available…

@gman Maybe open a thread on it’s own to your problem, so that we can see, what the problem is.
