Google Accounts Don't Prompt to Save

Compstuff · July 23, 2025, 8:08am

Hello,

I just stared testing Bitwarden with Chrome on WIN 11 and I have run into an odd problem with Chrome/Gmail accounts.

Bitwarden never asks me to save or add the password when logging into a Google account. I have to add them manually.

I have Bitwarden installed in a non logged in Chrome profile.

I did search the forum and I have the settings correct as per all the other forum posts. I also read one old thread that stated the Google entry fields aren’t actually recognized, but not sure if this is still the case.

I found the following info:

Is this really an issue that hasn’t been resolved in 2 years?

## Describe the Bug We are aware of many sites' login forms where the Bitward…en browser extension either on a single platform/browser or multiple will not prompt the user to save a new password or update an existing password. ## Expected Result When you enter new credentials into a login form, or register for a new user account on a site, you should be automatically prompted to save those credentials upon submission by the Bitwarden browser extension. When you update your password on a site and you have a matching login in your vault, you should be automatically prompted to update those credentials upon form submission. ## Actual Result This works sometimes, but not always and it can depend on _many, many_ factors. Some sites simply don't work, some don't work consistently and others who knows. This is what we're aiming to fix! ## Call to Action Below is a link to a Google Form that we have created for capturing information that will help us track down all of these login pages and registration forms where Bitwarden has failed to prompt you to save those credentials. You may submit as many as you like, just please help us help you and the community by providing meaningful information and only those sites/pages where it legitimately doesn't work. [Report failure of prompt to save credentials](https://forms.gle/tJXZSr4WwDqjq6vv5) If you've been sent to this issue because another issue you had open was closed as a duplicate, thank you for taking the time to submit the issue to us, however we truly need to track this under a single item in aggregate fashion so we can manage it holistically and ensure we're taking broad measures that will improve this behavior with the maximum benefit to all. Please consider using the linked form above to submit the prior sites you had reported in the issue closed.

@Compstuff Welcome to the forum!

Issue #759 is closed, and Issue #1620 is permanently left open because it serves as a catch-call that provides a link to the web form used to report failures of the prompt to save a login.

There are no standards for login form design, so there will always be some websites where Bitwarden (or other password managers) have trouble identifying the form as a login form. To notify Bitwarden of such websites (so that they can develop fixes), you can use the form. The fact that Issue #1620 has been open for 4 years only means that Bitwarden has provided this streamlined method of reporting failures of prompts to save a login for since 2021.
