I use BitWarden and have come to prefer something about BitWarden that initially irked me coming from LastPass.
There is no icon in any of the fields to click to populate them.
There is no auto filling.
You have to cursor into the field, right click and manually select the relevant entry to fill.
From a security standpoint this is much better and safer overall.
It also prevents accidental autofilling and login of an account you're trying NOT to login with on sites where you have multiple accounts and need to keep things carefully separated.
- 10000truths 5y agoWell, there is auto-filling in the sense that if you press Ctrl-Shift-L (at least on the browser extension), it will find the user/pass fields and fill them in for you. But it requires you to press the shortcut, so it doesn’t do so unprompted.
- sandyarmstrong 5y agoAuto-filling on page load in Bitwarden is an opt-in feature. Additionally, if you have Bitwarden in your toolbar, you can click the Bitwarden icon, then click the entry for the site, and it will auto-fill in the page for you. I'm surprised anyone uses context menus to do this, though I agree with you that it's probably safer.
