Yes, your first screenshot is what we call (and you should call) the Web Vault. The second screenshot is what we call (and you should call) the Browser Extension (specifically, you have opened the “Vault View” in the Browser Extension, and then filtered your vault items by the “Login” type).
[And FYI, I have again replaced your screenshots by new versions, in which I removed your exposed email addresses…]
Starting with your second screen shot (“Vault View” in the Browser Extension, filtered by “Login” type), please click on any of the items that have a globe icon, which should show you the details view. Just below the obscured password field, look for one or more fields that are labeled “Website”, then click the copy (❐) icon in the right margin (as shown at call-outs 1 and 2 in the screen shot below) and paste into your response.
It would be especially interesting to see your results for a site where you were able to get the success message “Item filled and URI saved” when using the “Auto-fill and Save” function. In any such cases, I would expect there to be two “Website” values saved in the item, similar to what is shown in the screenshot above; please copy both values (one at a time) and paste each into your response.
In addition, please report the value copied from the “Website” field for other login items that have a globe icon, for which you have not tried (or not succeeded with) “Auto-fill and Save”.
OK, @Russ08, I think the answer to your problems is in the conditioned .csv file that you imported into Bitwarden some 2-3 days ago.
Do you still have that file?
If so, please open it, and have a good look at the contents of the “login_uri” column. Increase the column width so that the full contents of the column entries are displayed. Please take a screenshot, and crop the screenshot so that it does not show any of the other columns (other than the “login_uri” column), but so that includes the first dozen or so rows of your file (including the first row with the “login_uri” header).
I believe I have the file. I can’t get LibreOffice to display the entire width of the login_uri column, but this is what I can see of the first dozen rows.
If it would help I can create a file with the whole text from each line.Ifg it makes any difference, the aircanada login line – the one that works appropriately – is #7.
If it’s useful, there is one other row with a working logo and for which logon functions appropriately (the BWTEST entry does not appear); the entire text in the login_uri column for that row is:
Well, your .csv screenshot doesn’t reveal anything amiss.
I assume that all of the accounts in those first dozen rows (except aircanada.com) do not “work” (i.e., they have only a globe icon, and they do not produce a number on the Bitwarden browser extension icon)?
Could you open one of these accounts (maybe the bbc.com one) in the Web Vault, take a screen shot of the item details, and crop the screenshot to show only the information below the username & password?
And can I ask you candidly: Is there any chance that you may have accidentally selected the wrong .csv file when you did the most recent import into your Bitwarden vault?
I’m pretty certain that I did not select the wrong .csv file. But here’s a surprise: the bbc row does not occur in the Web vault. (Nor in the browser extension version). But it is in all the variants of the bitwarden_export file I have. It is barely imaginable that I might have mistakenly deleted it as part of the preparing of the file to upload it – the two lines above it were duplicates and I deleted one of them. But I cannot find any *.csv file that doesn’t have the BBC line in it.
Here’s screenshot of the amazon.ca display below username and password:
I just had a thought. If in fact the data in the vault is corrupt in some way, maybe the shortcut solution would be to delete it all, and rebuild it from scratch as I need to use passwords (using the *.csv file as a source of the old passwords? There is certainly a substantial number of the 160 passwords that I don’t use and never expect to.

I still think it is possible to rescue/restore your CSV file.
To allow some further diagnosis, please do the following:
Make a copy of the conditioned .csv file, and name it csvtest.csv.
Open csvtest.csv in LibreOffice, and delete everything after the Apple Store account on Row #12.
Delete the username values in Column B (but keep the column header login_username).
Delete the password values in Column C (but keep the column header login_password).
If applicable, delete any personal information contained in the “notes” column (but keep the column header).
Save the file, and exit LibreOffice.
Open csvtest.csv using text editor (e.g., “Notepad” in Windows).
In Notepad, copy everything (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C).
When responding in the forum, click the </> button in the editor toolbar, then paste the clipboard contents using Ctrl+V, then continue your response below the second set of ``` characters:
I’m confused, and maybe concerned . . . Column B is headed “favorite,” Column C is "type.’ Column I is headed "login username and J is “login_password.”
This is the order in which the columns would appear if you created a .csv export from Bitwarden.
However, in the conditioned .csv file that you were supposed to have created by modifying the export you obtained from Lastpass (by following these instructions), the order of the columns should match the order in which they appear in the Lastpass export (presumably url , username , password , totp , extra , name , grouping , fav).
In addition, the instructions I had given you to follow literally specified the following:
Thus, I don’t understand how your fields header is now in Column F (instead of Column I), and how your reprompt header is now in Column G (instead of Column J), and how your type header is now in Column C (instead of Column K).
I suspect that in fact I did import the wrong file. I’ve just found a csv file where the headers are as you said they should be.
I have no idea how that happened, but it seems clear that it did. The headers in the file I just found are:
login_url login_username login_password login_totp notes name grouping favorite fields reprompt type
Sorry. I think I’ve taken up way too much of your time trying to help me do what is apparently beyond my current skill level.
OK, I think we’re on the home stretch. Please follow the instructions below, step-by-step. There are a lot of steps, so it might help if you print out these instructions, and then use a pen and pencil to check off each step as you go (to make sure that you don’t inadvertently skip anything).
Open the .csv file that you found (the one that has the headers in the order login_url, login_username, login_password, login_totp, notes, name, grouping, favorite, fields, reprompt, type).
Change the Row 1 header of Column A from login_url to login_uri. (By the way, I think that this typo was the source of 90% of your problems.)
Change the Row 1 header of Column G from grouping to folder.
Save the .csv file under the new name “bw_corrected.csv”.
Log in to the Web Vault.
Click on the account profile icon in the upper right corner, and select “Account Settings”.
Scroll down to the section titled “Danger Zone”, and click on “Purge Vault”.
In the pop-up window, enter your master password and click “Purge Vault”.
Log out and log back in to the Web Vault. Confirm that the vault is completely empty.
Click “Tools” in the top navigation bar, and then click “Import data” in the lefthand navigation menu.
Under “File Format”, select “Bitwarden (csv)”.
Click the Choose File button, then select the bw_corrected.csv file in the file picker, and click “Open”.
Click Import Data, and wait for the success message (which will say that “A total of N items were imported”, where N should be the number of items in your .csv file), then click “OK”.
Click on the account profile icon in the upper right corner, and select “Account Settings”.
Scroll down to the section titled “Danger Zone”, and click on “Deauthorize Sessions”.
In the pop-up window, enter your master password and click “Deauthorize Sessions”.
OK, I’m done with dinner (cooked tonight; not above my paygrade yet) and I’m ready to go. I think you’re almost certainly right about that URL/URI confusion, because when I first looked at it, never having run across URI before, I guessed it was a typo with a lower case l at the end.
Wow. Went through that and every item in the vault has a proper icon. Is it the case – as it appears to be – that when I log into an account that’s saved in Bitwarden, I’m just immediately and seamlessly logged in?
Amazing. And astounding that that one stupid bit of misperception caused all this work. For both of us. Can’t tell you how grateful I am for your sticking with it all this way. And for keeping better track than I could of what we’d done and how. grb, whatever it means, is a handle I’ll keep in memory. Do you get paid to do this? Not enough.
No, this is something else going on. Like I said, the uri/url typo fixed 90% of your problem, but it seems that you have something else running on your system that has access to your passwords and is auto-filling them. Whatever this is, it is likely interfering with the proper functioning of your Bitwarden extension.
If you could please unlock your Bitwarden Browser extension, click on the Settings () icon at the bottom right , then click the “Auto-fill >” link, please take a screen shot of your Auto-fill settings there.
Also, go back to the Browser Extension Settings, and scroll down slightly until you see the “Lock now >” link, then click on “Lock now >”. You should see a small padlock () symbol in the corner of your Bitwarden Browser Extension icon. In this state (browser extension locked). Please navigate to some sites for which you have accounts. Are you still getting “immediately and seamlessly logged in”?
No, I am just a Bitwarden user doing this to help other users.
Thank you for the kind words, but I think we have a little more work to do before celebrating!
Hold up…
