Any reports of Bitwarden causing Yahoo login failure?

Here we go again. I promise I’m not trying to be a pest.

This also happened a few years ago. I don’t use Yahoo mail much, but I have no problems on Chrome or android. I decided to try it today. When BW is enabled, variations of this appear.

When I ran in Firefox in troubleshooting mode, Yahoo login was not interfered with.

In regular mode, I disabled addons in a trial and error. It only happens when BW is enabled. I also tested it when copying and pasting from another source, but as long as BW was enabled, it failed.

One time, when I tested it directly after testing with BW disabled, I logged in and out, and then enabled BW and then tested the login, it worked.

However, after rebooting the browser, tried again, and the error message returned

I was able to successfully login to https://login.yahoo.com/ , but to get autofill to work, it is necessary to create this custom field:

Windows 11, Firefox 147.0, Bitwarden Extension 2025.12.1.

I am also able to login to yahoo with firefox using a passkey stored in Bitwarden but since they apparently don’t support discoverable credentials, I did need to first fill in my username.

@bituser In general, autofill issues on specific sites can (and should) always be reported via those Google forms:

(those forms are also linked in the forum – just click “Report a bug or issue” in the sidebar menu on the left)

PS: I linked both forms to make it “comprehensive” – and so that future readers don’t have to search for it if they needed “the other” form.

@bituser I can second the above statement. I have no problems logging in to Yahoo on Chrome. I use Incognito mode with only two extensions enabled (Bitwarden and GPC Enabler), and I autofill with the keyboard shortcut.
