Safari: Logins fail with extension enabled

I am able to use BitWarden to fill in login information at simplenote.com but the “login” button does not work. Disabling the BitWarden resolves this issue.

Hi @brijazz - welcome! And thanks for the post about the issue you have encountered.

This isn’t actually an issue with the Bitwarden extension blocking login - if I copy and paste my credentials from the BW extension manually, the login works just fine. Rather, it appears that the there is a hidden recaptcha blocking autofill, perhaps as a measure to prevent bots from bruteforcing logins.

I am not sure what the best course of action is here - any password manager with autofill may have the same issue, unfortunately, given that it is server-side behaviour. Regardless, you may want to add your two misbehaving sites, and any others you encounter, to the Github tracking list here:

Autofill isn't working for a specific site

enhancement help wanted

## Describe the Bug We are aware of many sites' login forms, payment gateways…, identity forms, etc. where the Bitwarden browser extension either on a single platform/browser or multiple will not autofill information. This is something the Bitwarden team is actively working on but need your help as a community and active Bitwarden users! ## Expected Result When you have autofill configured and get to a page where you have saved credentials within Bitwarden, and your browser extension is unlocked, the credentials should be automatically populated. Otherwise, if you have saved information and use a manual action or command to autofill credentials, identity information, card information, etc.; it should properly populate the form. ## Actual Result This works most of the time, but not always and it can depend on _many, many_ factors. Some sites simply don't work, some don't work consistently and others who knows. This is what we're aiming to fix! ## Call to Action Below is a link to a Google Form that we have created for capturing information that will help us track down all of these pages and forms where Bitwarden has failed to autofill your information. You may submit as many as you like, just please help us help you and the community by providing meaningful information and only those sites/pages where it legitimately doesn't work. [Report autofill failure](https://forms.gle/yYVQkepxxLKZ3kR6A) If you've been sent to this issue because another issue you had open was closed as a duplicate, thank you for taking the time to submit the issue to us, however we truly need to track this under a single item in aggregate fashion so we can manage it holistically and ensure we're taking broad measures that will improve this behavior with the maximum benefit to all. Please consider using the linked form above to submit the prior sites you had reported in the issue closed.

Also, since you have two posts for the same issue (but on different sites) I will simply merge these together. Cheers!

I am able to use BitWarden to fill in login information at text-em-all.com but attempting to login thereafter produces an error (" Unexpected network error occurred. If problem persists, [contact our support team]"). Their support team advises that the BitWarden extension is the cause of this issue, and it seems they’re correct as disabling the BitWarden resolves this issue.
