I am currently trialling Bitwarden. I have found that it's not that great at picking up that you are creating an account, offering to generate and then saving the result (using Firefox with Bitwarden extension). I am looking at the other options as they are reportedly better at that sort of thing.
It's a shame though because Bitwarden is philosophically what I'm looking for.
- ethbr0 3y agoThink you might have missed a not in there, if I'm reading sentiment correctly. "...found that it's that great..."
- rkangel 3y agoI did - edited to fix.
- kadoban 3y agoI noticed that as well, the fix for me is pretty easy: just create the account in bitwarder first and then autofill it in the actual account creation page. No extra work, and becomes habit quite quickly.
- rkangel 3y agoThis is fine on desktop. It's less great on mobile.
- JoeyPriceless 3y agoI used to agree with this until I thought about the order in which to do it. The issue was that I'd open BitWarden manually to create credentials, rather than doing it during the autofill popup. Here's how I do it on iOS: 1. Select the password field and open BitWarden through the button above the keyboard. 2. The password list will be empty. Press the + to create new credentials. 3. Enter a username, generate a password and press save. 4. The list will now have a single entry. Press it to autofill.
- kadoban 3y agoI do the same on mobile, not sure I noticed any reason it's worse there.
- tracker1 3y agoI haven't found it to be too bad on mobile... but ymmv of course.
