Option to auto-add Android App URIs (androidapp://...) for every "https://..." URI / URL

My very first two questions in my first post aimed at exactly that question:

And okay - then I think you’re asking the same thing as this this other feature request: When using PC signup with https://example.com if bitwarden could helpfully auto-add the androidapp://com.example complement for Android Apps autofill to match (which has a rather long title)…

(that quote was from your first post) I think it’s not that simple, as normal URLs look like this:

https://www.netflix.com

… but the Android variant looks like this:

androidapp://com.netflix.mediaclient

→ it’s not only reversing two parts of it…

And other Android apps use different patterns – e.g. for PayPal for me it is https://www.paypal.com but androidapp://com.paypal.android.p2pmobile (and I don’t think Paypal would work with .mediaclient … as Netflix wouldn’t work with .android.p2mobile…)

Yes. same as the other post. Whatever it is, one past of the URI is the app name. BW could offer that as a match.

@user47 I now merged your Feature Request (FR) with this one.

And I tried to find a shorter title which hopefully also reflects the request.

(the former title of this FR was When using PC signup with https://example.com if bitwarden could helpfully auto-add the androidapp://com.example complement for Android Apps autofill to match" – and the former title of @user47’s FR was Bitwarden needs to convert computer URLs to Android URIs)

24

The real problem is that I have 500 or so sites, and this is a HUGE manual effort. The name of the company could be presented as a match.

25

I think the easiest way for Bitwarden to address this issue would be if they at least added the corresponding Android and iOS app URIs to each set of pre-defined Equivalent Domains (and perhaps also expanded the list to include additional common websites).

Hey, nothing against this feature request in particular – but you really do have about 500 credentials in Bitwarden and for everyone an Android app (!) where you want to login to? – If you just want to login to some of them with on a mobile browser (!) you don’t need a changed URI for that (just as a reminder).

And also as a reminder: when you try to login on an Android app (!), you then can search manually for your matching credential in the Bitwarden app (sidenote: unfortunately, I suffer from the bug on the mobile app, that I chose “English” but in some cases it shows my German system language):

As I wrote it before - and I think @grb wrote back in December in the other discussion - by using that, you add the `androidapp://…" URI to your credential, and next time can use autofill directly.

27

A struggle I have with the autofull is that sometimes I want to use autofill for an app, and Bitwarden fails to recognize that the app as that same website I have saved for that password, so I have to manually go and add these weird “com.appname.whatever” URLs to my passwords too. Not sure if it’s an Android problem or a Bitwarden problem, but I thought it’s best to mention it.

@myfocusiseverywhere I moved your post into an existing feature request on the same topic.
