This suggestion is for Bitwarden browser extension
Hello, I’m one of those people who switched from LastPass to Bitwarden and can’t even express how happy I am with Bitwarden and how great it feels comparing to LastPass. Anyway, I have a small suggestion for it. I think it would be very useful if devs would put “Always on Top” option in settings. Sometimes I want to copy things from Bitwarden and paste them on the website, however whenever I copy something and then click on the website to paste it, Bitwarden chrome extension doesn’t stay opened, it closes, so I need to click on it again, go in secure notes, find the note I was trying to copy and continue like this, which is a bit tiring you will agree. So, I think simple “Always on Top” option would be very useful.
Hi @dean0919 - welcome to the forums and welcome to Bitwarden!
We do have a ‘pop-out’ option that we think is a cool option . If you open the browser extension and click the little box with the arrow (as seen below) - it’ll stay open until you close it.
But! Another nifty trick (if you’re a Firefox user) - is our side-bar support, which is awesome:
Hi tgreer,
I’m Chrome user, so second trick won’t work for me.
I just tried that “pop-out” option. Not bad, but still it’s not what I suggested. It does stay opened, but it gets minimized when you click on the website to paste copied content. It would be much easier if you guys would add simple option to stay on top for Bitwarden in settings, so users could easily copy/paste things from there to the websites without minimizing
Great! I didn’t know this little option. Thanks for mentioning it.
It does. But it disappears in the background if you click back into the website. So you have to put the Bitwarden window into the foreground again. That’s what @dean0919 meant. It would be great if there was an option for this separate windows to always stay on top.
I just made an account just for this. To vote up this suggestion.
First of all I would like to say thanks to @tgreer I didn’t know about the sidebar on firefox. Although I beleive that should be the default behavior.
In cases of coping credit card elements, its very annoying to search → copy → paste → goto search
I would like to say more that Shift + Alt + Y open the bitwarden sidebar. Although I can’t find any how to change this shortcut.
The Firefox option is cool, but like others have commented, this would be a very welcome addition that the popup stays on top. I don’t like to say it, but the User Experience on 1password is clearly better and it would be great to see something similar on Bitwarden
