Social / third-party login

Dear community,
I am generally a fan of Bitwarden but so far, I have not found a way that automatically saves the used single-sign-on service (Google etc) that has been used to sign up for a specific service.

1Password automatically suggests to save it after using a SSO service.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Add it to the name field. Something like this:

Name: Reddit (Google SSO)
Username: questions@gmail.com
Password:

The note will then be visible when you auto-fill.

Better, though, is to not use “Login with Google”. You have password manager. It can be used to nearly painlessly store unique passwords for each site. Using Login with Google means that if your Google account is compromised, so is your Reddit account.

+1 on this suggestion. I found it particularly useful with 1Password for knowing which Google account I signed into things with!

@questions & @dan-r Welcome to the forum!

There is a feature request thread here, where you can vote for this.

However, as already noted by @DenBesten, using federated logins controlled by third parties is generally not a good idea. The terms of service for all such services stipulate that the company can suspend, disable, or delete your account at any time for any reason (and they do regularly use this power, as you can confirm by running a Google search on the topic). This would cause you to immediately lose access to all accounts that used this service for logging in.

Hi all, my first post here.

I share the same observation of lack of functionality compared with 1password which my company uses.

For sure there are merits to not using SSO given we have a password manager, but it’s also the case that users may have 10s or even 100s of historical accounts where they have used SSO; it’s also the case this very community site allows SSO via multiple providers, but Bitwarden offers no native way of allowing its own users to remember that.

Appreciate @grb response leading to the feature request link, and also @DenBesten on a way to format this consistently.

Ill hop over to that feature thread.

Came here to say this is still needed.

I ran in to this problem yesterday not remembering which social login I used to signup for TwinGate.

I don’t understand how this has not been implemented yet. Especially since your competitors have this feature.

Some websites allow users to log in either with traditional credentials (username + password) or via social login. I usually prefer using social login over credentials.

However, many sites offer multiple social login providers (e.g., Microsoft, GitHub, Google), and users often forget which provider they used to sign up or log in.

It would be very helpful if Bitwarden could offer a solution to this problem, such as:

  • Remembering which social provider was used for a particular site.

  • Suggesting or auto-filling the correct social login option.

  • Providing a way to manage or view saved social logins within Bitwarden.

This feature would save users time and reduce login confusion for sites with multiple social login options.

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed that Bitwarden doesn’t support saving or tracking accounts that use third-party authentication (like “Sign in with Google” or “Sign in with Apple”).

Since these logins don’t use traditional passwords, Bitwarden can’t manage them directly — but it would be great if there were at least a way to mark or link such accounts.

I’m honestly surprised this hasn’t been developed yet, given how common OAuth logins are nowadays. It would really help users keep track of all their accounts in one place.

Best,
Kevin
