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).
@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+L → Tab → Ctrl+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:
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):
(browser extension 2025.12.0 on Vivaldi / Windows 11)
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.
