I don't get it. Was that not a thing already?
-
It was not. This would add a little button in the password field of the page, instead of having to click the button in the browser toolbar.
-
Awesome. It's always been a little hit and miss whether the pop up for passwords would show when you click on a text field, and I resent having to drag the mouse all the way to the toolbar to get at them.

No keyboard shortcut?
-
I can't remember off the top of my head, but there is an autofill option in the right click menu.
/edit: Ctrl+Shift+L
-
I use the shortcut all the time
-
Yes and you can just change it to whatever you like. I have it at ctrl shift A.

Hmmm you've got me wondering now..
Edit: Apparently there are! TIL: https://bitwarden.com/help/keyboard-shortcuts/
Not sure if they'd work on sites that the pop up box doesn't work on, though. There are a handful where I have no choice but to copy and paste.

Didn’t know about Ctrl shift y thanks for this!

Looks like the desktop app has a few too. It's not as powerful as KeePass' options, which include hunting down and activating other windows and auto-typing your username and password, along with a bunch of user-specified options like pauses or custom keypresses, but it's something.
(KeePass is also a whole lot clunkier and has no official web extension, so a lot of that is out of necessity.)

Ah okay! That's neat. Especially for the less technically inclined

I've been using KeePass and thought of course because so many people use Bitwarden that must be a thing there already. I've never used Bitwarden, but I would've switched to something else just because it didn't have autofill for formfields. I even let KeePass auto-submit on websites where I know it works reliably, saving even more time, because I was annoyed by even having to press the "login" button. But I'm glad to know it exists on Bitwarden as well now.
-
Just to be clear, Bitwarden could autofill before, even automatically (if you are daring), it just didn't have an inline button in the form fields that you could click on. That's what they've added now.
-
It was definitely a feature I missed when I switched away from LastPass but I've been using Bitwarden for 5+ years now and haven't had any major complaints in that time.

Yes it has been already for a couple of weeks
