@grb The issue you linked to looks like it was approved and merged. Is there any kind of release date for it to hit the Google Chrome Web Store?

@kwalsh Welcome to the forum!

As I don’t work for Bitwarden or have any privileged access to their devs or management, I don’t have an answer for you — other than noting that releases occur on a schedule that is approximately once a month, so I would expect the November release to drop any day now.

Sorry about that, thanks for the reply and your insight!

+1 Eagerly waiting for this. Just championed two merged small businesses to migrate to joint Bitwarden Business Teams. This came at the cost of hindered personal user experience having been a Personal Families user for years.

It is finally here :tada:

Thanks for the update :heart:

Is there any chance to have a feature that fills login/password for the website from whichever account it finds credentials to? Currently, if I have accounts A and B and I have credentials for the website xyz.com stored in account B and active session A in the extension, it cannot autofill credentials for that website. That brings me to a situation when I have to swipe up with my mouse to Bitwarden extension and manually change the account to account B. That’s not super convenient. In that case, I would still prefer to have two separate Chrome profiles opened where I’m logged in to two different Bitwarden accounts (A & B).
If that’s not possible maybe you could add some keyboard shortcut to change/rotate between accounts - in this scenario filling the password will be two two-step operation: first for changing account (from A to B) and second for forcing autofill (cmd + shift + L).

What do you think?

@michal-michalak Welcome to the forum!

Why do you have two separate Bitwarden accounts? If you need to segregate the credentials that belong to “A” and “B”, you could use folders or collections instead of fully separate Bitwarden accounts.

Like @michal-michalak mentioned, I would also like to have the option to just auto-fill regardless of the currently selected account. It’s quite cumbersome having to manually switch between the accounts despite both vaults being unlocked.

I have two accounts: a personal one on the official instance, and another one for my work (on an instance self-hosted by the company). Obviously I can’t store my work stuff on my personal account or vice versa.

But it seems that the company is OK with you accessing personal accounts from your work computer, and vice versa?

If you want a change in the functionality, I would suggest making a feature request.

They are okay with using personal accounts/applications on the work computer, yeah. But work stuff on a personal computer is a no-no.


Seems like someone else already made a feature request about the multi-account auto-fill, so I have given my vote for that one and also added a comment there. :smiley:

The feature request thread that you posted in is actually about something completely different (although it may have been confusing, because the original topic title was very vague — I have now revised the title of that request to be more accurate: “Prompt user when ‘Auto-fill on Page Load’ is used on page with multiple matches in vault”).

I moved your comment into it’s own feature request topic:

You may wish to edit your OP in the new thread, so that it makes more sense in its new context. Furthermore, I don’t have a way of transferring your vote, so you will have to vote in the new thread (and optionally, remove your vote from the old thread).
