I am using multiple accounts on some websites, some that I use often, and some that I use less often. But I can’t order password suggested by autofill so that I sometimes have trouble to find the one I need the most often.
On iOs, autofill in the keyboard is limited to 4 suggestions I think, so that I have to open the app to get the one I need.
And I don’t wan’t to send the others in the trash as I could need them later and trash is permanently deleting items after 30 days.
The best way to do it would be to add the possibility to exclude some items from autofill OR having possibility to put items in folders that are not used by autofill.
@djsmith85 while that existing solution does exclude the account from autofill, as the initial post requested, I think it’s not sufficiently user-friendly, since it makes it harder to surface the account in the future.
A common way of locating an account is that you can see it in the web extension while visiting webpages matching that URI. When you set the match to never, you can only find it by manually entering the URI or other search terms in Bitwarden’s search field. In some cases, you might even forget the account exists.
An example user case where this would come in handy might be where a user has a set of GMail accounts, a handful of which they regularly use and autofill, and some of which they access rarely. The user wants to have quick access to the rarely used ones through the web extension, but never wants to have them compete with the commonly used ones for mobile device autofill slots, and also wants to never have them invoked by CMD+SHIFT+L, even if one of those rarely used accounts was the most recently used account.
So I think the feature request made here by @mne is still a useful one for UX improvement, even though there is technically an existing way to do this.
I second this request. I want some of my accounts to appear in the popup to select them manually, but never autofill. Alternatively, I would be happy if autofill just never worked whenever there was more than one matching item, and I’d have to manually select instead.
Can you explain what exactly you mean by “autofill” in the sentence above? Are you referring to automatic autofill (“autofill on page load”)? If so, you can certainly disable that on a per-item basis.
@grb I mean autofill as in I press the keyboard shortcut whenever in a login dialog. Right now, it chooses (seems pretty random to me) one of the many applicable items, which half of the time results in an item being autofilled that I didn’t want. I have no automatic autofill, i.e. it always takes user interaction to trigger the autofill.
OK, thanks for clarifying. In case you’re not aware, repeatedly pressing the keyboard shortcut will cycle through the available matching logins. The login that is initially autofilled should correspond to the login that was most recently used.
Also, if you glance at the Bitwarden icon at the top of your browser, it should have an overlay badge that displays the number of matching accounts. You could glance at the icon before autofilling, and refrain from using the shortcut if the number of matching accounts is >1.
