With the new updates it seems the Chrome Extension is not fully working.
I.E. I have been a member here, and needed to reset my password.
So I clicked to reset, then got the email, followed the link, and took the Bitwarden suggested password. I never got a chance to see or copy it as I got a Bitwarden icon instead of seeing it, and I never got the option to update. Yet I have the other problem of using 2FA it wants to update the same password after 2FA ie user> 2FA > password..
That suggested password you took, should be in the Generator history afterwards (go to the Generator in the main menu of the browser extension → scroll down → Generator history).
All fine unless you go there immediately, since it keeps several from the log-in. guessing game. 2FA is still an issue.
Many of us have adopted a different strategy … create/change the password in the vault and then autofill it into the website.
Here is the process I follow:
- Navigate to the website’s password-change page.
- Open the password vault and observe that the relevant entry is in the autofill section, indicating that the URL match is correct.
- Open the entry for editing.
- Copy the existing password and paste somewhere (notes field, notepad, etc) for safe keeping.
- Click the “generate” button and save the vault entry with the new password.
- Back on the password-change page, auto-fill the new password with control-shift-L and then paste the old password from the clipboard.
I do similarly when registering for a new web site.
The beauty of this process is that autofilling the new password demonstrates to yourself that it is properly stored in the vault.
