Clarity about the Launch function

I have spent a lot of time searching in the forum and cannot find a clear answer to my question. Many still refer to the feature as a request to have.
My question is as follows.
I really enjoy working with the product, it is really functional and great to use. Thanks for the effort and great product, but …
On the right have side of each item, there are the 3 dots which drop down a menu shown below.


When I click on Launch, the request site opens on a new tab, but the login credentials are not pushed to the new tab.
How can I have the item launch with the login credentials included in the opening of the new tab.

Thanks
Lawrence

You probably don’t have Autofill enabled, I would expect. But, make sure you really want Autofill enabled, before turning it on.

@lslamp Hi!

That sounds (and looks) to me like you are using the web vault.

The web vault cannot auto-fill… You would have to use the browser extensions for that: https://bitwarden.com/download/#downloads-web-browser

@lslamp Welcome to the forum!

@Nail1684 is right. You need to install the Bitwarden browser extension, then go to Settings > Autofill in the browser extension window, and make the following changes to get the behavior that you’re requesting:

  1. Enable the “Autofill on page load” option.

  2. Change the selection for “Default autofill setting for login items” to the value “Autofill on page load”.

It should look like this when you’re done:

 

With the above setup, you’re login credentials should automatically be filled into the login forms when you launch a site from the browser extension. Autofilling only works on tabs that are currently active, so Bitwarden cannot autofill automatically if you have launched a website on a new tab (you’d have to manually trigger Bitwarden to autofill your login credentials after switching to the tab that has the login form).
