I am a new Bitwarden user and cant find some options. Two problems I am encountering:
Can you explain what you mean? How do you “start Bitwarden”? Are you using the Bitwarden Desktop app, or the Bitwarden browser extension, or the Bitwarden Web Vault?
If you are using browser extension, it should automatically be running each time that you open your browser, although you may need to unlock the extension before you can use it.
Your answer to the first question should shed some light on this issue, as well. For example, if you didn’t install the Bitwarden browser extension, then Bitwarden would not be able to save any website login credentials automatically.
I have the extension installed and I need to unlock the extension, is this normal? I thought it could be set to unlock automatically. I also have the desktop App downloaded.
Yes, this is possible, although it is not secure (because if anybody accesses your computer when you have left it unattended, or after they have stolen it, or by infecting it with spyware, then they will have access to all of your passwords).
To set this up, go to Settings > Account Security, and change the “Vault Timeout” period to “Never”.
The option “Ask to add login” can be enabled under Settings > Notifications in the browser extension.
Thanks for all the info. All is working correctly now that I have the correct settings. I appreciate your time in helping me. Have a good evening.
