I am loving Bitwarden since I changed over.
I would love the ability to set the default account for saved sites. I have a few sites that I have multiple accounts and having it default to the one I mostly use would be a great addition and a little time saver.
Thank You
You can do this — or something very like it — now. For example, I have two Amazon accounts, one for personal purchases and one for work. I use the personal one twenty times more often than the work one. So I have simply edited the work account’s URI value to “never match”. It’s in there, but is not offered as a second alternative every time I try to get into Amazon.
This can work as a workaround, although it would be good to have an actual feature. Right now the app selects which password to display by alphabetical order, so adding a character to the name will resort and display the desired account (so other accounts will still be visible based or URL, in case those are needed).
When a second account is added with the same URL, an option should become available that allows the user to set which account displays by default.
Thanks for the suggestion all! You can also quickly cycle through matching logins using the keyboard shortcut:
Ctrl/CMD
+Shift+L→Autofill, press again to cycle through matching logins
Adding a note to @bw-admin’s comment that when you cycle though, it remembers the last password you used (on that device/browser). I thought there was a article about that, but I’m having a hard time finding it.
Multiple Email Priority
I believe Bitwarden currently prioritises auto-fill on an alphabetic order, but would be good if there was a tick box to select your priority account to auto-fill on a website. i.e if you have multiple google accounts (work, personal, etc.) you can set which one will be the default auto-fill.
I know this can be done by disabling the autofill URL detection for the other accounts, but feel this will be easier and quite useful once paired with the already suggested overlay popup interface.
Thanks for the feature request and welcome to the community!
Just so you know, if you’re using the Bitwarden Extension and there are multiple logins with the detected URI, the last-used login will be used for the auto-fill operation. You can read more about how autofill currently works here if you’re interested.
@sj-bitwarden — Not to hi-jack the thread, but congrats on getting hired for the Technical Training Manager position, and welcome to the forum (unless you were previously a member here under a different name)!
That doesn’t work for mobile apps, unfortunately. I would really like this feature in the mobile app. For example, I have two accounts at my bank. One I use the vast majority of the time and one I rarely use. Whenever I login to the banking app on my phone (iOS), the rarely used account always seems to be the default. I don’t want to make it disappear from the list of options, because I do want to use it sometimes. I just don’t want it to be the default.
Many people have multiple logins for the same site (Microsoft Accounts/Azure AD, Google, etc), and there are many good reasons for this.
Currently you have to register lots of different credentials for the same URL and it kinda works. But auto-login in a browser using Ctrl-Shift-L always seems to choose the top one, and so does BitWarden on iOS.
You can have personal accounts you barely use (Xbox) and work accounts you use all the time (Azure AD) and 200 test-accounts, and currently Bitwarden does not really provide you with a means to set which accounts you would prefer to be the default one.
Which means that the otherwise smooth auto-login feature breaks for sites like this when you have multiple credentials. And that’s very unfortunate.
One way to solve that would be the user to allow the either mark a credentials as a “favourite” (on/off) or give a credential a “priority” (to allow ranking of logins which spans multiple domains, and where collisions are … different).
There might be other solutions too, but I really think that BItWarden should try to find a better way to deal with sites where the user has multiple logins.
Right now this is the single thing which “breaks my flow” the most often while using BitWarden, and I don’t think it should be that hard to handle on a technical level.
This is exactly the problem I was about to request a feature for, really hope this gets fixed, for websites I have multiple logins for it completely breaks this functionality of using Ctrl-Shift-L.
You have my vote!
I have a shared family account with my wife. On my iPad, the app shows her login as the default for paypal instead of mine, every time. I would prefer to be able to choose to show mine as the default for me (and hers as default for her) while still retaining access to both.
Even knowing how the mobile app sorts the accounts would be useful to work around this missing feature. So frustrating to have to open the app full UI each time to pick account number 2 of 2.
I have several different domains where I have multiple accounts, and a few of them always suggest lesser-used accounts by default. This is less a problem on desktop where I usually auto fill with the context menu anyway, but on iOS it’s very disruptive to have to switch which account credentials it wants to use every single time, particularly on sites that log you out automatically after a short period, or when changing settings on sites that prompt to re-enter your password to do so.
Hi,
I could not find a request exactly like this so here goes.
I have several logins for several services with the same URI/domain. I would like to be able to set a default login for a URI/domain per Bitwarden instance. So, the first time using fill user/password with a Bitwarden install I can save this as the default.
This is different than selecting a global default login per domain. This will help having different default logins for every browser profile or instance of Bitwarden.
This should also be simpler to implement as it’s a client change and no server-side changes should be necessary.
Regards
Stian
@strips Welcome to the forum!
I’ve merged your request (and vote) with this existing feature request.
Thanks @grb, but I hope one essential difference doesn’t get forgotten. For me it’s essential this is a setting that is configured on every single Bitwarden client instance. So, I can have different default per browser profile and on desktop app.
If this feature request does not encompass this, is not the same request.
@strips, I think it is close enough. Most feature request threads include some discussion of different variants in the details of implementation.
Was just about to suggest the same thing. I have two google accounts, one for personal use, and one for GCP cloud console. Most cases I want to use my personal email, but I need to manually copy the password. I would love to be able to give priority with a checkbox.
