Auto-type/Autofill for logging into other desktop apps

I keep checking this thread from time to time, only to see that there’s still no news. Any chance somebody from the Bitwarden team can chime in regarding this request? Especially with passkeys coming to Bitwarden, using Bitwarden natively on Mac to manage passwords and passkeys seems like a no brainer.

(Dashlane installed for illustrative purposes only. Just wish I could see Bitwarden there as an option!)

I’m also waiting for this…

With the announced move away from Xamarin, does this mean we’ll finally get native integration on MacOS as well?

Still didn’t understand when we’ll see new ios app and macos native integration

I’ve been delighted with the iOS/iPadOS integration - it’s one reason why I migrated to Bitwarden. I got my first MacOS device the other day and am appalled that there is no MacOS integration.

Yes please ! I’m was looking for a replacement for 1 Password that randomly stops working in my browser and this feature would have sold it for me.

+1 for native auto-fill on macOS. I use native app and frequently switch between browsers for work. I would love to streamline filling login credentials: for now I use Bitwarden extension for whichever browser I happen to be in. It works, but it’s a quite clunky process :smiley:

+1 Here too. Been trying to use Mac and want to get rid of as much of Apple native apps as possible including whatever they have for password manager.

+1
it’s really useful

this should be done long time before

Thanks for the input. The Bitwarden MacOS desktop is built on Electron and there are no plans to move away from that - the move from Xamarin to native mobile apps was a result of Microsoft shutting down support for Xamarin.

That said, the team will look into enabling MacOS autofill - perhaps, it’s not too difficult if it’s available from the OS!

That’s great news! Like all the previous commenters, I agree that the community would very much appreciate this.

This feature would be fantastic for all Mac users. As a Native/JavaScript developer myself, I don’t think it would take too much effort, especially compared to the benefits it will provide for BitWarden.

Can’t wait for the feature released

I agree with comments above, it looks like a must have feature in 2024

My opinion here is not unique - I’d leave copy-paste login technique in the past.

iOS app can now installed for Mac from TestFlight. Is this intended behavior or glitch? However, I can’t test that because I can’t change server to EU.

I’ve been experimenting with it ever since it became accessible via TestFlight on MacOS.

Is the Safari inline autofill glitchy with this? Absolutely.
Does it work? Surprisingly, to some extent (passkeys can be used, for example).

Nevertheless, the TestFlight build has numerous problems on iOS as well. It’ll be interesting to see whether it works better on MacOS as they address the ongoing iOS issues. That is, assuming they don’t withdraw the build from MacOS, as it’s evidently not an intentional MacOS rollout.

Nonetheless, it clearly shows the potential for native MacOS autofill.

+1 Is there any progress? I have been waiting for too long.
