I’ve been using bitwarden for several years and I’ve been pretty happu with it but I noticed that some of my entries are missing favicons. I’ve read other posts about the issue and managed to fix some of them but several that are left are quite resistant to any fixes. They all have the default bitwarden globe icon.
Afaik they all have proper favicons showing in my browser but idk no matter what i do the favicons won’t show in bitwarden. Could anyone help me with reagrds to these sites? Thanks
As far as I know, Bitwarden uses the information on a page to fetch an icon that is stored on Bitwarden’s server. The apps access the icons on the server, not from the websites directly.
Sometimes, Bitwarden doesn’t pick out an icon like the web browser does, and it’s most likely because it uses a different rule (different web browsers also seem to use different rules) to select an icon.
What may work sometimes with Bitwarden is to input another URL with a different hostname, for example, web.domain.com (you can also look for ideas in the website’s page source) instead of www.domain.com, to see if it has different icon placements that would match Bitwarden’s picking rule. Beyond that, it’s basically either living with it or reporting it to customer support. See the example here:
Add the URI https://www.ankama-shop.com/en/, click the URI icon and select “Never” as the match detection option, and then move the ankama-shop URI so that it is the first in the list.
