Am I alone?
Signing up on a social website I often get offered 3 fields for my identity,(email , username, PWD) then Bitwarden pops up offering to save my login credentials but has no field for EMAIL
How do other users of the free version deal with this.
I think I’m missing something obvious. Hope
@dohouch You can add an additional field for the email address. In the browser extension, click Add field at the bottom.
@dohouch Welcome to the forum!
As a workaround, you can use “custom fields”, as @bwuser10000 suggested.
You can also vote for this feature request (after acquiring the next “trust level” - which is not hard to get to if you look around here a bit): Add "Username" and "Email" as separate entries
Sidenote: the workflow we often recommend here - as it get’s more consistent results - would be, to deactivate that saving-prompt and create your Bitwarden login item before (or parallel to) creating the account on the site.
@Nail1684 @bwuser10000 Thanks for getting back so quickly .
While adding custom text field named “Email” works, why isn’t there an option to show that field automatically?
Many services require users to input Username, Email, Password etc.
@Anvi Welcome to the forum!
The question of “why” is difficult to answer, as we have little to no insight into how Bitwarden makes decisions about its products.
A relevant Feature Request is linked below — after you spend a little more time reading in the Community Forum (to get promoted from your “New User” status), you will be able to vote there:
In the meantime, the recommended work-around is to create “dummy” login item (where you have set up any custom fields the way you want them) to use as a template, and then clone that template item whenever you need to create a new login item:
