@TerryP Welcome to the forum! I moved your post into an existing feature request thread on the same topic.
Thanks. I searched before posting but couldn’t see anything similar at the time.
More than two years since this feature was requested, nine months since I last added my comment. Still nothing. Frankly, it’s deeply disappointing. This should have been a minor fix.
This isn’t about assuming i know more about software development than your team. I know that I don’t. But the UI element and the functionality to switch vaults already exist within the extension. The only missing piece was persisting the selected vault between clicking on the extension. A single stored state. That’s it. People here are asking for a view change.
I’m done making excuses for Bitwarden. I’m moving to 1Password. They offer superior features and demonstrably more responsive development. After six and a half years, it’s time to move on. I hope Bitwarden eventually rediscovers what users like me value.
EDIT: In case anyone is wondering, yes, 1Password lets you change the default organization in the Chrome extension.

Agreed, why is there no replies from the Devs? Fortunately for me, this feature isn’t a big issue so I will be staying with Bitwarden as I had tried 1Password and didn’t like it.
I have many logins for say, google.com, and I’m only using 1 or 2 99% of the time. I’m trying to cope with this by using an organization called “Archive” where I stow away logins I rarely/never use but don’t want to delete. With the new browser extension UI, I can filter by “My vault”, which excludes “Archive”, but this isn’t default behavior. Is this something other people would benefit from? Or does anyone have other ideas for how I can cope with this? Kinda sick of fishing through 25 google logins when I need to log in to google every now and then. Thanks.
Bitwarden staff, I’m sure you’re wondering why you lost a loyal customer of almost seven years. Here’s the reason: this simple checkbox. All I wanted was the ability to hide my family vault from the extension, just like 1Password lets me do, So that way when I search for Amazon, I don’t get nine different Amazon accounts, the first of which is not even mine because it’s the family one. I will almost never need to use the family Amazon account.
I have both a personal and a shared family vault, and that’s all it would have taken. You couldn’t do it, but 1Password can. Honestly, you should do a full UX study of 1Password; it’s incredible how many features they have that I didn’t even realize I wanted in a password manager.
I waited two years for this. I think I was pretty patient and very understanding.
I posted my offer to implement (a simplified first pass version of) this feature on the github bitwarden org discussion board, which is for “proposals for code you wish to write”: Persistent vault filter in browser extension · bitwarden · Discussion #12473 No response as of yet…
