Using Bitwarden as my main password safe was the best decision ever. I love the design and I really appreciate the option to host the vault locally.
However, coming from Keepass, one famous plugin is “KP2A InputStick Plugin”. Using this plugin, the Keepass App allows to use InputStick, a Wireless USB Receiver, to send usernames/passwords to the InputStick’s connected PC. InputStick offers APIs for Android as well as for iOS:
Adding this as an option to the mobile apps would mean a HUGE benefit, as I’d be able to send passwords from my private mobile phone to e.g. my mobile PC, on which I don’t have access to my vault.
I also concur with your point of view. I will not consider Bitwarden as a viable alternative to KP2A for this specific reason. I attached an Inputstick to all my devices. Unless a secure mechanism is found to pass my credentials from my phone to any device, I do not see any benefit from switching yet.
InputStick being a USB HID class device turned out to be a universal solution. I can use it with a corporate desktop, a datacenter server, a TV box, a console, a smartphone/tablet using a OTG cable. I am unaware of any software/hardware alternative.
Integrate InputStick to type username, password, custom field, … via InputStick
The InputStick is a USB key that act as a mouse/keyboard on the connected computer. It’s connected via encrypted Bluetooth to a phone/tablet and allow send keystrokes from the phone to the computer.
Feature function
Add a menu or button to send any field to the InputStick and the connected computer
This will allow to type complex password on computer login screen
This will also allow use of passwords in a computer without installing Bitwarden client/extension or login in the web vault
This will allow to autotype password on application that don’t allow/support copy and paste (like Virtual machine screen or terminal on non GUI Linux)
This can also be used on peripheral that don’t support the installation of Bitwarden (e.g. Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, XBox, SmartTV, …)
Implementation of this would allow the use of stronger password for the scenarios above
