Autofill doesn't work on Wealthsimple login form

For the past 2 weeks, the Wealthsimple login won’t auto-fill completely using CTRL-Shift-L. Using Edge, only the input with the focus will fill (either username or password but not both).

Edge: 141.3537.99

Bitwarden extension: 2025.10.0

@scooby9 Welcome to the forum! I moved your comment into its own thread, since it is unrelated to the topic where it was originally posted.

I can confirm that I am able to reproduce this issue in Chrome. Unfortunately, there appears to be some script in the login form code that is blocking autofill when the input field does not have focus. Your best bet would be to just doCtrl+Shift+LTabCtrl+Shift+L.

You can also report this website using the form linked below, in the hopes that Bitwarden devs can figure out a fix that overrides the autofill block:

Thank you kindly for doing that!

I have been doing exactly what you suggested (the double CTRL-Shift-L) and it works perfectly.

A post was merged into an existing topic: New Firefox Bitwarden Extension unable to autofill the selected items on this page

Yes, autofill on Wealthsimple is generally broken. It neither fills from the icon on the right of the login/password input boxes nor does it even fill with the extension window. The latter gives a message about being unable to fill and needing to copy and paste.

While CTRL+Shift+L is somewhat workable, it gets ugly when you have more than one account in your vault.

I did already fill out a Report auto-fill failure the other day but with it just being a Google doc, there is not way to track any progress on that being resolved (unlike a GitHub issue/ticket) sadly.

Why is it 3 months later and this is still not fixed? I did submit a Google Doc auto-fill failure report months ago about this, and it’s still not fixed!

I’ve opened a ticket instead. Hopefully the issue becomes known with that.

@brianjmurrell … somehow I can autofill on that site now (though in two steps). Here an animation – first I used the inline autofill menu and in the second round I autofilled via the keyboard shortcut (Fill button works the same for me, but I excluded it here for privacy reasons):

So, yeah. I can manage to autofill it too, using exceptions (<ctrl>-<shift>-L) and whatnot but having forty-eleven exceptions for different sites makes it difficult to teach others, especially non-tech–savy, maybe even elderly people, how to use BW difficult.

It starts to become this hand-written-notes-in-notepads-lookup-rules exercise to figure out how to fill different sites because of these kinds of exceptions (bugs). This does not instill confidence in the presented solution (i.e. BitWarden vs. the browser) to others. The unanswerable question ends up being So why don’t I just use the browser for all of this where there are not forty-eleven exceptional rules for different web-sites? This ends up being a difficult question to answer.

There’s no way that third-party password managers are going to beat the autofill ease of browsers’ or platforms’ password managers. It’s also true that other third-party password managers may put more emphasis on getting all the common websites to work with autofill in their products. If you’ve decided that this issue is too cumbersome and the other strong points of a password manager don’t outweigh the issue for you, then that manager may not be the solution.

Heck, for people who can live strictly within the Apple ecosystem, I would recommend using Apple Keychain over other solutions. For Windows, that’s a tough decision because browsers’ password managers are most vulnerable to malware, but if you can mitigate this issue, maybe that’s the way to go too, or get them to use more restricted OSes like ChromeOS or Linux.

A post was split to a new topic: Shift+Ctrl+L no longer works to autofill with Firefox 147

Wealthsimple has started rolling out Passkey support. I was able to set that up for multiple logins and it works beautifully with Bitwarden.

@scooby9 … yeah, passkeys really could be the solution for autofill issues… well, if there weren’t also some sites that sometimes make it hard to use a passkey :sweat_smile: (my personal “first” and most prominent example: eBay still doesn’t offer just a “Log in with passkey” button – or “automatic passkey autofill / Conditional Get”, at least on desktop browsers…)

See, I see this differently. Ultimately the browsers (Frirefox, Chromium, etc., Android even – Apple can suck rocks for IOS being proprietary) are Open Source. Any password manager software that wants to have the compatibility of in-browser functionality, so that they work as equally transparent and effectively as the browser password manager only needs to dive into the browser source and develop an API that allows third-party password managers all of the access to the browser that the native in-browser password managers have.

Indeed, all of the third-party password managers (Bitwarden, KeePass[XC], LastPass, etc.) could band together to fund a development project to push the in-browser functionality out into an official API that all of the third-party password managers could use to get first-party access and functionality.

Haha. Just today, I added passkeys to the Wealthsimple accounts that I need to log in to – not because passkeys are more secure for me (they are not, – I use unique passwords-per-site – courtesy of BW – so thanks to BW for that –- and I am phishing resistant) but just because BW is broken on Wealthsimple’s website for login/password login, but not for passkey login.

So yeah. If somebody wants to solve this thread purely on using passkeys instead of login/password/TOTP I don’t care enough to resist that. Passkeys on Wealthsimple are a decent enough work-around for BW’s brokenness there for me not to care enough.
