Exclude items for filling in browser - how do you solve this problem?

There is no elegant solution, currently, although you might want to add your support by voting for this feature request to create an “Archive” folder that never autofills.

Archive old accounts

There are a lot of old accounts that I own that I don’t plan on every using again. However, I want to keep them in my database in the off-chance I’ll need to access it at a random time. The problem is, it tends to clutter my search results and account lists. At this point I have hundreds of accounts in my vault, and the ability to archive old accounts would be very useful. Basically not deleting the accounts, but moving them out of the way so they aren’t accessed as easily as my regular, active…

Otherwise, there are a couple of things you can do:

First, there is an autofill setting that you can assign for each item in your vault. Set this to Do Not Autofill to ensure that certain items will never autofill (but they will still appear in the list of suggested credentials if you have a matching URI).

Second, if you don’t even want the item to match when you visit a URL/URI, remove all URIs from the item in Bitwarden and add them to the Notes section instead - this way they will never match the URI, and hence will never be suggested by Bitwarden when you visit the site, but you can still search manually for the item.

Hope that helps!
