Within the browser Bitwarden context menu when mouse right-click, there are Autofill, copy username, copy password, copy verification code and generate password. Can a unlock option be included/added to the context menu as well?
Feature name
Allow unlocking vault from right-click menu
Feature function
Currently if you try and use the right-click menu when the vault is locked, all entries just say “vault is locked” or “vault is logged out”. There is no clear way from that menu to bring up the unlock screen. Clicking those entries does nothing.
I propose that if the vault is locked or logged out, then the right-click menu should contain an “unlock vault” item. Upon clicking, it should bring up the extension and focus the keyboard in the unlock (master password or PIN) field.
This unlock vault item should be in place of the items that won’t work when the vault is locked, so the following:
- Auto-fill
- Copy username
- Copy password
Should be replaced by a single item
- Unlock vault
Only when the vault is locked or you are logged out.
Feature name
- Vault locked jump to unlock vault
Feature function
- When right-clicking to context menu, you get “vault locked” message.
- In Firefox, you choose the message and go directly to the unlock menu.
- In Brave, you need to find the extension and open the menu to unlock.

Small inconvenience that happens so often it becomes a silly annoyance 
this has been implemented with the current release: Release Notes | Bitwarden
The additional change in text on the menu items I missed, but I’ve created a PR to fix it for the next release: [UX] Change menu items for unauthed and locked vault by djsmith85 · Pull Request #2285 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub
I’ll close this topic as it has been implemented
