Can't get BitWarden to log-in my accts

Have BitWarden set up after comp crash and all my go-to sites entered, however, when I go
to a site the program doesn’t enter my info and log me into that site. I have to enter
everything by hand to get there.

Any ideas about this would be greatly appreciated.

Can solve this in a few ways

  1. you can just click on the extension icon and click on your login for that site and bitwarden will auto fill for you
  2. you can hit ctrl + shift + L to autofill with last login used for that site
  3. Go to settings --> options --> Enable auto-fill on page load and tick the box, this only works if you have 1 login/account for that site and sometimes doesn’t work at all.
  4. Right click on webpage, find bitwarden, hover over it, then hover over autofill and choose the login you want

This looks like it was solved years ago, but I’m having this problem and the response here doesn’t help. 1. I’m not sure what “click on the extension icon” means; I don’t see an “extension icon.” 2. I’ve hit ctrl-shift-L dozens of times; nothing has ever happened. 3. I don’t see an “options” link under “settings.” 4. I’ve never done this before, but when I do it now I get “no matching logins,” although the site is in my vault three repeated times.

Russ you arent imagining things, and I seriously doubt you did anything to cause it…

Im having the exact issue all of a sudden, sites I have been to dozens of times are presenting the “no matching logins” message and the only way I can get in is to search TWICE since its not a persistent popup to grab the username and password… its the reason Im on here today and its driving me nuts…

And every time I manually log in it asks me is I want to save that “new” url… and even if I do when I go back to the same one it asks me AGAIN…

its a pain in the a**

@Russ08 I have responded to you in your own thread, and you can see an example of the browser extension icon in the screenshot that I posted there. Please post your follow-up questions in that thread after responding to the information requests you have received there.

@brenwa Welcome to the forum!

I don’t think you’re having the same issue as Russ, who is a new user and is having trouble getting started with Bitwarden. On the other hand, it seems that you have been using Bitwarden for a while and have some basic idea of how to use it.

I would suggest starting your own thread, and starting by providing some information about your system (the operating system and browser that you are using, and the version of the Bitwarden browser extension that you have installed). Then, describe your problem with as much information as possible about what steps you are taking and what behavior you are encountering. Include screen shots if possible (although make sure that you have redacted any sensitive information from your screen shots before posting them).
