Here we see hints: what does this mean, a drop-down list of 1 line.
Please, no need to suggest or explain anything.
I want to make a choice from 1 option in 0.1 seconds, but not read the entire help.
You didn’t even think to change the font, or somehow separate the useless information.
There are a million such drop-down lists in different applications.
But I can’t remember that this list with a minimal design also had its own name.
In the same font, and which takes up space on the screen and forces you to read self.
it’s simple - every time I read the list, I think that I have two e-mails
What version of the Desktop app are you using? I see no such dropdown menu on the login screen in version 2025.12.1 of the Desktop app (for Windows).
With the strange “Restore Access” and “User Agreement” text at the bottom of your screenshot, I’m inclined to think that the dropdown menu is actually created by some other app (not Bitwarden).
This is the window when you first log into your account.
I change Windows often. Now is Win 11-28000.1495 .
BW 2025.12.1
Consider me the chief tester for the Chromium browser extension on Windows.
If this is in regards to the browser extension, then I will change your topic tag from “app:desktop” to “app:browser”, to avoid further confusion.
I still cannot reproduce this in the Bitwarden browser extension (v 2025.12.1). Even if I select the option to remember the email address on the login form, there is no dropdown menu:
I tested this in an Edge browser, but I doubt it would be different in Chrome.
Also, I do not see the phrase Сохраненные сведения anywhere in the list of translated Bitwarden labels:
This is further evidence that the dropdown menu you are seeing is not produced by Bitwarden.
Thank, I forgot that I have BW has the sources on GitHub. I also didn’t see BW sourse .
I’ll try switching it to English. It seems BW It doesn’t have this feature; it takes the language from the system. I can also switch the Windows language to English .
That’s right, the window is correct. It will be very surprising, If this JSON exists only for third-party languages.
“Restore Access” and “User Agreement” – this is VK ID, not BW.
VK - VKONTAKTE - The social network created by Pavel Durov, who was kicked out of the country . Russia through GazProm bought 88% of the shares and pressured Durov to hand over all users’ passports. Pavel left the country for America and created Telegram.
I can’t find “Сохраненные сведения" in this file either. But it does have 35 occurrences of the word “Browser". This is also surprising.
But it is logical to assume that proper file organization means having one JSON for all types of applications BW.
It’s unclear if you now agree that the dropdown menu that is the topic of this thread is in fact caused by something outside Bitwarden (perhaps VK ID?).
If you disagree, please supply some evidence to the contrary. For example, make a fresh install of the Bitwarden browser extension in a different browser, preferably on a completely different device; additionally, test this in Chrome’s Incognito mode, after ensuring that no browser extension other than Bitwarden is authorized to run in Incognito mode.
No . VK ID –this is window below the BW window.
This can be seen in the screenshot. Differences even in color
It could be some other 3rd-part tool running on your system. Please provide some counter-evidence that supports your belief that Bitwarden is generating the dropdown menu (even though the menu label does not exist in Bitwarden’s code base). For example, I would recommend that you perform the tests that I had described in my previous comment.
I can’t even imagine which extension can affect other extensions.
Typically, extensions are limited to the current page.
I almost never use INCOGNITO. If you don’t take politics , INCOGNITO still won’t help.
There is a difference in how the extension works, and it works the same after the UNPIN button. The drop-down list appears specifically in UNPIN mode.
There is no “Сохраненная информация” in the local JSON either.
The browser itself could interact with the extension. This would be easy to test of you were willing to perform the recommended troubleshooting steps.
What is the relevance of this? That phrase does not appear in your screenshot of the Bitwarden browser extension login form.
I’ll try to find the selector in DevTools.
As I understand it, there is a dependency on the page from which BW opens.
This is what BW looks like on support.google.com
This is what it looks like there in UNPIN mode
I’ve provided a lot of snapshots, but I’m unpleasantly surprised by BW’s design .
In INCOGNITO everything is the same.
I put an arrow, because this is a very strange way of generating dropdown lists.
And again there is no name for the list. This is exactly what the list should look like.
I need to check your VK ID again.
BW must take into account working with VK ID, because gradually all of Russia will switch to him, no one can hide from him.
@serega_da @grb I’m fairly sure, that dropdown is produced by Chrome’s autofill for addresses. – On Chrome, I just deactivated “Make Bitwarden your default password manager” for the BW extension, enabled Chrome’s addresses autofill, and then I see a similar “dropdown” (only the title “Saved data” is not there in my case):
So, I guess, this can be closed here, as it’s Chrome and not the Bitwarden extension…
Very strange behavior. It turns out that BW takes a list of stored e-mails, probably from cookies.
I climbed back on vk.com and BW doesn’t substitute anything anymore.
But I have to substitute my main e-mail in the BW window. But nothing happens. Obviously, the “Save e-mail“ checkbox should write this e-mail somewhere in the browser extension. But there is nothing. I didn’t remove BW, and I didn’t install it. This is strange.
But I’ll show you a picture of the Password Manager itself in EDGE.
Yes, it also has a similar implementation with the name of the 1-item list. I can’t say it’s rare.
But it’s unnecessary for me.
You can separate by the color, font, and alignment from the passwords themselves.
I highly doubt that Bitwarden does anything of the sort. If you enable the option “Remember email” on the login screen then the most recently used email address is saved in the local vault cache.
You seem to be using the browsers’ native autofill functions, not Bitwarden.
To fix, open the Bitwarden browser extension, go to Settings > Autofill, and enable the option “Make Bitwarden your default password manager”.
Note: I moved this to “ask the community” as the Original Post does not contain a clear feature request for which one could vote.
