This gets you half-way there. Although it opens the extension in its own window, it does not force that window to stay on top. I’d love to see the ‘Anchor’ feature added in the extensions for all browsers.
I will pass on, however, something that was pointed out to me. You can open the Bitwarden extension in the sidebar of the Firefox browser. This is the closest thing to what fwiz has requested.
NOTA: Didn’t know if this would’ve classified as a bug, thus I categorized it as a feature request
When the browser window with the Bitwarden extension open loses focus, the extensions closes. This is a pretty annoying behavior, as it forces a user to reopen the extension to copy/paste an entry
Don’t hesitate for more details
Welcome to the forum!
You can create a persistent window using the “popout” button:
In Firefox, you can also set up the Bitwarden browser extension in a side bar.
In addition, you may be interested in voting on the following feature request:
A persistent window is cool, but the ideal would be that the extension should only lose focus if I close it (e.g: click again on the extension icon). This is more practical than another window as it’d lose focus and go behind your newly focused window as soon as you click anywhere on your browser
In the meantime, sounds like the Firefox sidebar would work best for you.
Yeah, can be an alternate solution, but I’m not using Firefox as a main browser. Thanks for the tip though.
It would be nice if the bitwarden window would keep the currently selected vault item or search text. When I try to copy multiple strings from a specific vault item I need to do the following each time:
Otherwise the app is perfect.
I assume that this is about a browser extension.
If correct, try this and click here before you start:
Hi @kudorgyozo, welcome to Community! 
In addition to the pop out, depending on your browser, you can also use the sidebar functionality (ex. Firefox, Opera) to create a more persistent experience.
Here is a related Feature Request:
For your use-case, you could also consider using the Desktop app for the type of work that requires you to manually copy multiple pieces of information from one vault item.
Thanks, clicking the “Pop out to new window” button is the closest I could find, together with a program called DeskPins that automatically keeps the window on top.
I used DeskPins on Windows years ago and really missed that function on Chromebooks. But thankfully for those on Chrome OS you can now pin a window by going to chrome://flags and enabling “CrOS Labs: Float current active window”. I’ve been using this for months and it works great.
I love this request and strongly agree with it. It can be very time consuming for sites where the password box is gated behind having entered a username (T Mobile as an example). The pop-out is tough, because the button to open it is not available from within an entry, and also because once you pop it out, it forgets what site you’re on, so you have to search for the website you’re on.
Definitely my main frustration with this excellent app.
I just made an account just for this. To vote up this suggestion.
First of all I would like to say thanks to @tgreer I didn’t know about the sidebar on firefox. Although I beleive that should be the default behavior.
In cases of coping credit card elements, its very annoying to search → copy → paste → goto search
I would like to say more that Shift + Alt + Y open the bitwarden sidebar. Although I can’t find any how to change this shortcut.
Also a litle visual bug

The Firefox option is cool, but like others have commented, this would be a very welcome addition that the popup stays on top. I don’t like to say it, but the User Experience on 1password is clearly better and it would be great to see something similar on Bitwarden
Just wanted to say I had the same need and didn’t want the popped out window. The Vivaldi browser has a side panel that you can set to leave open until you close it, and I found this post detailing how to add the Bitwarden extension to it. Works perfectly.
This is great because before I had to search and view the item every time the extension lost focus. Now the pop-out stays open so I can copy each field one by one.
This is definitely an improvement, but the way I use BitWarden and my browser (Firefox), this could be streamlined even further. See, my browser window is always maximized. That means I have to alt-tab between the login window and the pop-out window to copy each field. But if the extension remained open when viewing a login, it would cut out all of those keystrokes.
I don’t think the extension should stay open all the time. I think it should stay open conditionally; there are certain behaviors that may indicate a user wants to return to the login. Before I elaborate, I want to reiterate that the pop-out helps with the following scenarios. These are merely improvements that I would love to see:
Whenever I view a login and it can’t auto fill the current page, I usually want the extension to stay open after losing focus. I would imagine this is true for most people because you need both a username and a password to login to most websites.
If I’ve searched for a login, that’s usually because it is relevant to the current page. If it’s relevant to the current page, I probably want to return to it at least once. I found a similar issue on the forum and one of the suggestions was to add the current page’s url to the searched login. That’s the best option if you know that that login should be used on that page. But sometimes you don’t know (yet):
There are a lot of sites that do weird things with the browser location. As a result, sometimes a login gets split between two entries and/or sometimes I might have multiple logins to one site. Under these conditions, I might have to experiment a few times to know if the login should share the url or be merged with another.
When I am in the middle of adding or editing a login, there’s a good chance I will want to return to that view until I’ve saved or canceled.
I’ve seen this come up a few times and the requests usually get merged into Persistent Bitwarden UI and maintain unsaved data. This feature is extremely useful, but if the extension remained open, it’d improve the user experience even further.
Anyway, I’m not sure if I’m saying anything new here. I think the amount of similar feature requests indicates something is missing? I notice a lot of those similar features say what they want but not why they want it. I hope I’ve communicating that part clearly, but please let me know if you’d like me to clarify anything.
Thanks for your time and all you do here!
please allow lock in foreground browser extension (“pinning”) to allow copying and multiple data entries. Now the procedure is long!
In the top left corner is an icon of a box with an arrow pointing out of it. Click it and the it will pop out to a new window from which you can do multiple copies.
Better yet, check out auto-fill and linked custom fields to get Bitwarden to do all the heavy lifting for you with a single Shift-Ctl-L.
I can also add that I use multiple monitors and after opening the pop out I simply drag the pop out to the next monitor where it will stay on top and in focus while I perform the copy/paste functions on the first monitor. This literally takes one second to do and has solved the problem for me!
