Keyboard shortcut for username generation

Feature name

  • Keyboard shortcut for username generation

Feature function

  • Keyboard shortcut to generate a username (via the currently selected method in the generator page) and copy it to the clipboard, when using the browser extension
  • Would act in the same way as the " Ctrl/CMD + Shift + 9" shortcut, but for usernames rather than passwords
  • Would allow for a user to generate a username, and password (and then hopefully save them), without having to open the extension, assuming your vault is unlocked.

I agree with this feature proposal. It would make generating and copying usernames much faster and more convenient for users, especially those who frequently use the extension. The proposed keyboard shortcut is also consistent with existing Bitwarden shortcuts for passwords, and would likely be easy for users to remember and use.

I also agree with this. I’d like to have a shortcut for usernames specifically since I use both password generation and duckduckgo email alias generation very often. Too bad this idea is a bit dead in the water.
