@grb, I don’t think that your suggestion should be an alternative. Rather, I think it has use regardless, because, as you’ve since stated, it allows a user to image multiple accounts that the internal synchronisation server necessarily cannot service.
You should submit it as a separate FR.
Someone should… I may or may not get to it.
Suggestion: Transfer all BW-extension’s settings to the server.
I think it’s quite logical to get an extension already configured for yourself after entering your password and logging into your account.
I didn’t make it up.
This is how the Yandex-keyboard for Android works. Yandex is a large structure . It has many services. And of course, his Yandex-browser remembers the settings of his user after logging into the account too.
Now BW opens clean, when you install and log in to your account. It’s too simple and not interesting.
Not only because I’m lazy to put settings one time. The second reason is multiple browsers. And it is an extension in each of them.
Of course, I want to get the same settings in all browsers at once. Without copying all the jackdaws by hand.
@serega_da I moved your post into this corresponding feature request.
It 's a strange topic name. The topic should sound: “Sync ALL BW-Settings”.
I think it makes no sense for BW-programmers to separate the settings.
This is even more difficult and unnecessary work.
Fair point, and we should think about that.
But interestingly enough, you suggested
(emphasis my edit)
… and your topic title: “BW-Setting to Server”
This. 100%.
I use browser profiles to maintain separation between accounts. (Looking at you M365). This is on the same machine, never mind across machines. At work (yes only J1. 3 different WORK m365 accounts). Compounding that, we have to use different/non-persistent machines, and resetting settings every time for every machine AND every profile is, umm, tedious.
I was only looking for generator settings sync, but all setting synced would be awesome.
I also saw a post for adding a generator setting for a specific site, which would be handy too.
Though a 6 year old thread does not make me think this will be implemented. Or it is really hard to implement.
When there is a browser update or Bitwarden is updated often the settings of the plugin are reset. It would be handy when you set your settings that a files of the settings is stored on the Bitwarden server. And when you login with Bitwarden app/extension that these settings are retrieved. This way your autofill settings are all setup.

@liudger Welcome to the forum!
I merged your request with this existing feature request to the same topic.
