I have been using Bitwarden for almost two years. Recently, on a number of web sites, after unlocking the vault, the browser extension does not appear to recognize and fill login forms.
For example, I go to www.pilotinstitute.com and select “login” from the home page. The login dialog is displayed in the web page and Bitwarden displays “+New login” as shown:
This suggests to me that the Bitwarden extension thinks this is a new login for which I do not have a vault entry saved. Ctrl-Shift-L does not autofill, right-clicking and choosing Bitwarden->Autofill login does not work.
The Bitwarden extension icon does not show any numbers which suggests that it doesn’t thing there is a vault entry that matches this site. I am using the default match detection. However, if I open the Bitwarden extension, it shows the vault entry for this site at the top:
If I click on “Fill”, it correctly fills the username.
The same behavior occurs on a few other sites but it is inconstant. I think this is happening just after unlocking the vault.
Until this is fixed, the work-around is to click either a “launch” button (⬈) or a fill button within the browser extension pop-up window after you have first unlocked the extension. You should only need to do this once per unlock.
Hi all, I cleaned up this thread to stay on topic as a link to the PR has already been provided for the Bitwarden team to follow up on, thanks for your patience!
