macOS Native Autofill

As a long time Bitwarden user & recent macOS convert, I would really like to see this handled better (speaking to macOS on this). However, if BW has an opportunity to bridge this gap, it would really be appreciated. +1

I am regrettably looking at other options. I would definitely come back if/when this feature was made available.

Canā€™t use Bitwarden until this is a feature unfortunately. +1 Any updates on this?

This is the last piece of the puzzle for me to replace 1password

Agreed. Please implement this. With macOS Sequoia coming soon with a dedicated passwords app, Bitwarden is likely going to lose more desktop users. I want to switch my passkeys to Bitwarden from iCloud Keychain, but will not until there is a native app for MacOS. Now that the iOS app is written in Swift, it should be relatively simple to port it to Mac. I donā€™t see why there should be any major holdup.

@gtran @bw-admin Please implement this. This is the last missing piece for me to use Bitwarden full time inside my mac-only organization.

Adding to this, in iOS 18, it has AutoFill support for 3rd party password manager. So add in one shot also, because not all apps (especially banks) support native password autofill.

Hi team,

Itā€™s clear that this feature is not a priority despite years of ongoing user demand. Can you share whatā€™s considered more important and if thereā€™s any plan to address this in the near future? Transparency would help set expectations.

Thanks.

I have just realized with great shock that this functionality is not available. :astonished:

Looking forward to seeing this feature enabled, is there any ETA for it at the minute - surely its not a difficult implementation.

Seems you have experience dealing with this and you know how to implement it without difficulties!

Iā€™m pretty sure bitwarden team would really love your contribution!
Thanks!

Letā€™s just say I managed to bypass the TestFlight system compatibility check to install Bitwarden iOS beta in macOS. I got Native Autofill to work in macOS with Apple Silicon. And it works with system built-in Passkey selection too:

Sorry, I am new here so I cannot upload image in the forum. you can checkout in Imgur: Bitwarden iOS native version on macOS - Album on Imgur

There are few bugs with the macOS integration, such as the problem that you cannot type the master password when activating the system Autofill for Bitwarden in the system setting, since developers did not officially support macOS. I managed to work around with copy and paste so I can test Autofill.

In my opinion, if the compatibility with Intel Mac is considered, it would be great to have both the traditional desktop version and the iOS version available simultaneously, from which Apple Silicon Mac users can benefit.
And if Apple officially abandons support for Intel Mac, then maybe we can deprecate the current macOS desktop version.

It is this feature missing that makes the mac experience clunky. Is there any update?

Also waiting for this to be implemented
