Hi everyone, this is my first topic here.
I have noticed that Bitwarden is asking to save my password while my vault es blocked, this is normal?
This happen with Firefox and Chrome.
Cheers!

Hi @lks, welcome!
Itās normal, itās actually a new feature from the most recent release.
The browser will now both prompt you to save while locked, as well as prompt you to unlock when autofilling
Hi folks! I just noticed this today and I find it really annoying. I donāt want distractions from BitWarden unless Iām actively using it - i.e. with the vault unlocked. I couldnāt find a way to disable this
@Albert: Just to clarify. You logged in into a site which you had no entry in your vault for and did not want to save it? If that is the case you could also select Never. Which will remember, that you do not want to get prompted anytime you log in to that site.
Right. Iāve been thinking it through, seeing how long awaited this feature was, and realized that my workflow was kind of wonky to start with, and indeed I can just click never for the sites I donāt want BitWarden to prompt me about. Thanks!
On a related note, is there a way to make the BitWarden prompt a floating popup (same as the one Firefox shows you) instead of a layout changing inline header? I feel like that would feel less intrusive and is probably my main issue with this new behavior in the first place.
@Albert Glad that to hear the Never options works for you.
Currently there are no plans to change the way the notification is displayed. This mostly has to do with the limitations browser extensions have to work with/around. Iām looking into some other improvements in regards to saving vault entries from the save prompt and this might enable a different flow/display.
I see. Thanks! Hope you find some workaround.
If you need inspiration, I know Honey does this really well in their Firefox extension when they have some offers for you related to the current site. Sorry if this is unsolicited promotion of another product, that is not my intent.
Hi,
Iāve also noticed this new feature and it is bugging me in my current workflow because Iāve disabled the Add Login Prompt in Bitwarden extension settings (in Chrome) but this setting is not respected anymore if my vault is locked.
Basically, Iām using 2 password managers in my work computer and Bitwarden is my personal password manager. I only want to unlock the vault if I ever need some personal passwords but normally Iām not using it, donāt want it unlocked, and donāt want any prompt appearing.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks!
Hi all! I have the same problem and the most annoying is that Bitwarden prompts to save password even if thereās already an entry in my vault.
Same here, itās so annoying I signed up to this forum to complain about it
Please make this an option that we can disable.
I find this āfeatureā extremely annoying.
I would really like an option to toggle this, for me if locked please donāt ask. If unlocked yes please ask me to save.
I donāt unlock my Bitwarden unless I need to log on to something more secure. Some random local UI login for example I donāt need Bitwarden. so I keep it unlocked and just use my memory instead.
I, too, signed up to complain about this āfeatureā - it offers on sites Iāve already saved passwords for when the vault is locked. I donāt unlock the vault unless Iām using it (I use Bitwarden for personal, and another password manager for work) and the notification often blocks important links at the top of websites which forces me to click through to get to them, slowing down my workflow - Iām sure some of you will say āitās only a single clickā - a single click on EVERY website I access is quite a lot.
I totally agree with you! This issue is REALLY annoying. I am a paying customer, but Iām thinking about stop using BW when nothing is done about it.
So, nothing? Youāre just leaving it as āweāre not planning on changing thisā? No settings for turning that function off? Itās a KILLER for me because during work, if my BW extension is locked, I get the notification on EVERY site, if I open it, then I get it for every site that I use corporately. Iām a premium user and Iām seriously considering taking my business elsewhere because, as Iāve said in a previous reply, it may not seem like a big deal to some for a few clicks here and there, but I visit a lot of sites during my work processes, not to mention that it COVERS the first however-many pixels of the website youāre on, limiting my access to important menu items unless I first close the notification.
Iāve actually just looked at the roadmap for 2022, and with account switching, I may be able to convince my management team to set up a Teams organization, thus removing the need for me to have a secondary password manager, and stick straight to Bitwarden AND avoid this annoying an inefficient notification.
Using Firefox BW extension as well. Iāve selected āneverā a dozen times for the same site(s). Does not stick though, really annoying. Would not have any problem with this prompt when it would really remember my choice. Now it is just a big pain in the ass. Iām forced to log in at the extension to prevent this prompt to show up.
As you state it should be remembered (as would be expected), could this then be something in Firefox itself?
