I need to frequently save multiple sets of credentials for a single URI. One might be for my normal user login, another for an admin login, and one or more for test logins, or for personal vs professional/business accounts on social media. What is the best way to mark a specific set of credentials as my “preferred” or “default” login for a specific URI?
This is not really possible. Bitwarden will default to the most recently used credential. If you repeatedly press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+L, then Bitwraden will cycle through the available accounts. If there is an account that you rarely use, you can exclude it from being auto-filled by setting the URI match detection method to “Never”.
If you would like to advocate for a feature to designate a default account for each site, you can vote and/or comment in the following Feature Request thread:
I may have a goofy workaround. I think the search for the default account is the one that matches the URL most closely, and if a tie, arbitrary. I have my setting, autofill, default URI match detection set to base domain.
I set my default account to the actual base URL of the login URL, and all the other accounts to just the base domain name. For example, for Bank of America, the main page with the login fields is at https://www.bankofamerica.com
So that’s what I set the default account’s URL. For the others, I used https://bankofamerica.com
On the iPad with ipados 26 this seems to force the desired default account to be the one offered in the Sign in sheet, and the other in the account picker. Exactly how I want it to work, but not an elegant solution.
