How to hide a password from autofill (via the overlay or `ctrl alt l`)?

I have some outlook accounts in which i login rarely, and other which i use quite often (for business security reasons, they autologout me every 15 minutes… i hate it, it’s stupid and they dont understand that the friction is obscenely high).

What i would like to do is to hide some of the less-used logins from the autofill part of bitwarden, but if i click the browser extension, i still see them there, and i can click on them to autofill.

Right now, what i can do is set the Match detection of the url to Never:

but that is not useful because it is also hidden from the bitwarden extension (which i do not want).

Is there a way to achieve what i want?
Thanks in advance

No, this is not really possible.

May I suggest a second BW account in which you only store 2 passwords you use? It’s free.

You can switch user or even browsers for the less used stuff. I maintain like 3-4 browsers for the workflow separation. And added privacy.

Portable versions of browsers exist. An OutlookForWork dedicated browser with its own BW extension would solve this nicely.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I’m using this (browser/bitwarden) profile just for work. splitting it into even more profiles would not work.
And regarding multiple bitwarden accounts: i’m not sure how well that works with the browser extension. (i also dont think i’m allowed to create multiple accounts :frowning: anyway)

Account switching is fairly painless in the browser extension — just click on the profile avatar (circle with initials) in the upper right corner, and then select the account that you want to use.

The only restriction is that you are only allowed a single free account. If you have a Premium account, you can create one free account, and as many additional Premium accounts as you wish.

This is not what you asked for, but I’d investigate using Windows Hello / Passkey logins on the accounts. It seems to me, when I authenticate with this method, it never asks to select a specific account. Fingerprint or PIN (with tolerable length) that is TPM protected seems rather convenient to me.
