Save URL in password generation history

Used password generator but forgot to save login/password combo when logging in. When I came back, I couldn’t figure out which generated password had been used. LastPass saves and displays the URL of each generated password.

I’m willing to implement this functionality myself, would a patch for this feature be welcome/do you have any advice?

Where did you find this? When I use LastPass’s menu to generate a password, or look at the history, I don’t see any URLs. The only time LastPass seems to save a URL is when you ask it to add a site.

1Password also stores the URL where the password was generated. This makes it easy to identify it. It would also be a good idea for Bitwarden.

It has happened to me more times than i can remember. Generated a password, but neither was it stored in history, nor was there any record of it. Definitely need to make bitwarden state aware.

Previously generated passwords can sometimes be harder to find than one would like, but as long as the app or extension used to generate the password was unlocked at the time of generation, the generated passwords are definitely stored in the global generator history, and kept on record until you log out of the app/extension. The thing to be aware of is that each instance of a Bitwarden client app (or browser extension) has its own generator history — thus, if you generate a password in one app/extension, you will not find it in the generator history of other apps/extensions.

Regardless, if you do have a situation in which the password was not recorded in the generator history (e.g., passwords generated from a locked app or extension), then the feature request here is not going to help, unfortunately.

It would also be nice if the history were organized by date. That would make it more manageable.

In what sense? The date/timestamps are already displayed, and the entries are arranged in reverse chronological order. Perhaps you’re suggesting that there should be section divisions where the date changes?

That’s what I mean. 1Password organizes it by day. All generated passwords are sorted by date and then simply by time.
That makes the whole thing much clearer.

And after the minus sign, there’s the URL where the password was generated. There is nothing here now because these were generated in a new tab.
