Failing when auto-filling login for multiple google accounts

Ask the Community Password Manager

Unless I am seeing it wrong or misunderstanding what you mean, I don’t see how cycling though can also show the corresponding email address.
We have two screen when we try and log in to Google. The first one where you choose an account you would like to log into (sorry, can’t post two images - new account restriction). And the second one:

Where you need to enter a password.
So when I cycle through passwords on the second screen, I don’t see an email showing anywhere to help me realise ‘Oh, thats the one that corresponds with this email address’. We obviously see the e-mail of the account we chose on the previous view, but that doesn’t change with our cycling through passwords with Bitwarden extension.

Using browser containers and browser profiles is not feasible. For one I use different profiles for different project ar work, but secondly: it’s simply not practical at all. Another profile means another opened window + missing all of my history, bookmarks, settings, etc. It’s like installing and configuring a browser on your PC after a disk format.

I clicked the use another account screen on the Google login screen and cycled through credentials there.

Agreed, this is a huge pain. Please find a way to improve this user experience when username and password entry are on different screens. It seems to work OK for the most part with Microsoft 365, which behaves similarly (different username and password entry screens)

Hi all, Gmail is not the only problematic login page, you face same issue on many popular sites (amazon.com, outlook.com, etc). Basically any login page where you get only the password input field.

As suggested by @piejanssens in his feature request post & @jaqxues in their fr post, I feel a simple quick 1 sec toast saying “Autofilled pw for username1” would be mighty helpful.

I could build this toast notification myself & have submitted my post in Github Contributions. If such a feature would be approved, I’d be glad to work on it.

Agree with @firoze. A toast notification would solve this issue on all the sites where you only get the password input field and not the email field

To any others reading this thread, please note that there is a feature request for such a toast notification:

 

As noted by @firoze above, there was also a Pull Request proposal. In addition, another user (@jaqxues) indicated in a related feature request thread that they would be also willing to work on implementation of such a feature.

Perhaps @dwbit can provide an update on whether Bitwarden plans to greenlight @firoze’s PR from November.

Hi all, thanks for your interest too in this feature.

Regarding my offer to code it, sorry that I failed. After I volunteered in Nov’22 i tried out the Github repo & found myself to have overestimated my coding abilities; ashamed to say couldn’t even get the dev env set-up. :frowning:

If a more estbd dev could guide me a bit, would be very happy to try again.
