Is it possible to have the Browser Extension prompt user to enter master password on the initial launch of the browser (ie: Without requiring user to first click on extension and then select login)?
Intent is to help users remember to use Bitwarden. Our enterprise browser settings have browser set not to save passwords- and Bitwarden settings have prompt to update/ save and Autofill on Page Load enabled. But some users still forget to login. We have additional trainings coming, but trying to provide a variety of methods to help users remember.
Buuuut, if you wanted a neat workaround, you could set the user’s browser’s homepage to the extension itself. For chrome, you’d change your startup page to: chrome-extension://nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb/popup/index.html?uilocation=popout#/lock and that would bring up the login page every time the browser was opened.
I also added a second page after the Extension:
Page 1: extension://jbkfoedolllekgbhcbcoahefnbanhhlh/popup/index.html?uilocation=popout#/lock
Page 2: edge://newtab/
Then once they enter BW password they can just close the tab and the normal start page is there.
Here’s what the team came up with! These aren’t “officially endorsed” solutions and I haven’t tested them myself, but hopefully you’ll find some use of them:
I had also tested this with Firefox, but maybe not on a freshly booted up instance of Firefox and also without any other extensions, which might delay the startup. What I sometimes get, is that it’s stuck on the loading spinner. Refreshing the start page would solve this for me. I hope that helps.
The above mentioned urls were posted for completeness. As mentioned by Ryan this isn’t something we offically endorse\support. This was meant as a possible (temporary)workaround, I came up with, while chatting with Ryan.
Yeah, the issue is the extension address which seems to vary. However, if you try to autofill a site “ctrl sift L” while the extension is locked, then it’ll open a tab with the extension. Try grabbing that address from that tab and using it as the home page. On my personal PC browser it’s:
