Ask to add login and Ask to update existing login for iOS

In IOS when you create a new account in safari, it automatically saves your details in icloud if you accept that.
This feature would be very neat to have in bitwarden aswell. It takes a long time to generate a password, and then make a new login in the bitwarden app.

Hey @Thoger10 are you referring to the option in the settings menu to ā€˜Ask to add login’ and ā€˜Ask to update existing login’?

Yes exactly, that’s what I’m referring to :slight_smile:

Hello,
This feature is indeed a huge miss in Bitwarden on iOS.
Also the functionality to add passwords to the vault when you create an account in an app on iOS.

The ability to invoke Bitwarden generator when you click the password field makes for tremendous user convenience.

Keeper Security appears to already have this… :smiling_face_with_tear:

Hey happy BW user here… until I switched to iOS! Updates on this?Seems like a basic feature, without this you cannot really state iOS is supported IMHO

It’s the same request as this topic.

@fratoff91 The ā€œAuto-fill and Saveā€ feature described in the thread you have linked is different from the ā€œAsk to add/update existing loginā€ feature that is the topic of the current thread.

Agreed… I thought not prompting to save a password or update an existing password on iOS was due to some kind of bug that was only affecting me until I found this thread. I didn’t even imagine that it was just never implemented at all; it does seem like a pretty foundational feature of a password manager.

Is this feature on the roadmap yet?

Considering a quick Google search can tell you this is a limitation of EVERY password manager on iOS besides the default Passwords app, it stands to reason that this is an Apple limitation and not a missing feature in Bitwarden. Go complain to Apple and try to use common sense before you run here to disparage the Bitwarden developers about a feature they clearly would implement if they could.

Is this possible in the browser extension on Windows?
The option ā€œCreate a new login or update existingā€.

On the browser extensions, the two options ā€œAsk to add loginā€ and ā€œAsk to update existing loginā€ are located here: Settings → Notifications

Thank you.
But these are separate options.
In 1Password, for example, the popup offers the option to update an existing login or create a new one. Bitwarden currently only asks whether you want to update or not.

Ah… I opened this feature request again: Option to not only "update an existing login" but also to be able to "add a new login" (in the same dialog)

Personally, I probably would tend to duplicate a login item in such a case, as this would also preserve all URIs and URI settings I configured for that site previously. (but that obviously depends - if e.g. you have extensive and ā€œindividualā€ notes in that entry, and only one URI, the ā€œduplicateā€ process would probably take more time then and be of less help…)
