Bitwarden symbol has disappeared from Chrome on iPad

Ask the Community Password Manager

Until a few weeks ago when using Bitwarden in Chrome on my iPad I would click on what I think is the Share icon at the top on the right (square with arrow pointing up from top), scroll down to the Bitwarden icon in the list and use that to fill in the password and username.

A few weeks ago the Bitwarden symbol disappeared from the list shown by the Share icon in Chrome on iPad. I’ve read around on the web and tried to find a solution but I can’t. Can anyone please help? As things stand I need to start the Bitwarden app on my iPad, unlock with master password and then go to the site’s login and copy/paste the password. This isn’t how it was working until a few weeks ago.

Thank you for any help.

Which “Bitwarden app” do you speak of? – You should be using the “mobile app” on an iPad: https://bitwarden.com/download/#downloads-mobile

As I have no iPad (or any other iOS/MacOS device), best thing I can do is to recommend having a look into this guide for setting up autofill for the iOS app: Autofill From iOS App | Bitwarden

And if you don’t want to unlock with your master password every time, you might want to set up Unlock with biometrics or Unlock with PIN on your iPad.

Hi, and thanks for helping.

Yes the Bitwarden app for iPad is the one I’m using, but previously I didn’t need to go into the app as there was a Bitwarden icon available in Chrome.

Thank you for those links - much appreciated.

Ah, okay. Then I would probably search in Chrome settings if there was anything to “control icons”… If nothing helps, you could try to deinstall/reinstall the BW app, in the hope, that the icon re-appears then.

But again, I have no experience with iPads, so a shot in the dark from my side…

That’s an idea, thanks! I’ll try that :+1:
