Support iOS 26.2 password generation and save-password APIs

Feature Requests Password Manager

Hi Bitwarden team,

I’d like to request support for the new credential provider APIs introduced in iOS 26.2 — specifically the system-level flows for password generation and saving new credentials.

Today, AutoFill works well for existing logins, but sign-up and password-change flows still require manually opening Bitwarden, generating a password, copying it, and saving the login by hand. The new iOS APIs let third-party password managers handle these flows natively, the same way iCloud Keychain does.

I know some password managers have implemented this already or have solved this with a Safari extension, but the native credential provider API is the better path: it works consistently across apps and websites, and avoids browser-specific workarounds.

Concretely, with these APIs Bitwarden could:

  • Offer to generate a strong password directly in the iOS sign-up sheet
  • Generate compatible passwords during password changes
  • Detect newly created credentials and offer to save them to the vault

Desired flow:

  1. I hit a sign-up or password-change form in Safari or any iOS app
  2. iOS shows Bitwarden as the credential provider and offers a generated password
  3. After submit, Bitwarden offers to save/update the entry in my vault

This would close the last big gap between Bitwarden and other password managers on iOS. Would love to see it supported.

Thanks!

@Mike18 Welcome to the forum!

We have at least two corresponding feature requests here on the forum:

I think you could / should add your info also to those two requests.

Detecting credentials and the ability to save them seems to be in the works now:
