Ergonomics

Some versions ago, Windows entered the Smartphones market. For space considerations, all windows were stripped of their title bar. That is not a problem for the apps themselves, but it is, if a program calls a popup from a different program, e.g. from Bitwarden.

So my wife created a problem today. On her laptop she wanted to login to an account, and Bitwarden presented her a password. But so did Chrome, covering the Bitwarden popup partly. Thuis, unwillingly she used the one in the Chrome password manager, which was outdated.

Solution: Offer a clear distinction for the Bitwarden-pop-up, e.g. a thin padding in the popup.

(I have inbetween set Chrome on her machine, to not interfer with password presentation and its storage .)

@LtB … you are talking about this inline autofill menu, I guess:

?

Eh.. No. This is well recognisable by the Bitwarden Logos.

I mean the pop-up that you sometimes get after logging in with a new password, offering to store this password. It easily gets covered by an popup from Chrome, asking to save the password. One can easily not be aware that it’s not Bitwarden that’s asking this. I think Bitwarden must under all circumstances be recognizable, and not use a simple white block with common a thin frame around. Any little logo can easily be covered from other apps, especially on a phone screen. But we had it on a laptop screen

I have now in all browsers on het machine verified that the browser in no way interfers with password storage and its retrieval. But every new day there will be new users who do not realize that ist a good habit, to have only one password storage provision.

Maybe after its installation Bitwarden should stress that it is time to purge the browser vault, and turn off its usage.

After reading your new post from a few minutes ago, I’m very confused now about this part of your initial post. - You now wrote (in your new post) you mean the “Save (new) login” popup of Bitwarden. Okay. But that is not an autofill suggestion, so it can’t be the same popup you referenced here (quote) as “Bitwarden presented her a password”.

The “Save (new) login” and also the “Update existing login” popup from Bitwarden only appear after you used some credentials on a login site. So those popups can’t have interfered with autofilling those credentials…
