While selecting the fields, the fields where the mouse was over was marked with a red frame, so users could see if the correct field was selected. Here users clicked a button in the password manager and then selected the field “username” directly in the target application where they wanted to log in (same for the password field). I can not remember what password manager worked like this (but I think it was Roboform).
When the Auto-Type hotkey is pressed, Bitwarden detects the currently active window and checks, if there is a password entry for this process (EXE and file path) available.ĭetecting the application by window title (like KeePass is doing it) is less secure.
This way is discussed above and works like in KeePass. Recognition of the fields (where Bitwarden stores the name of the “Username” and “Password” fields and fills them automatically).Auto-Type Sequence (where Bitwarden types ).Logging into the application can be done via two ways: This way users have one entry in Bitwarden that can be used to log into the website and also to log into the desktop application. Via the desktop app Users should be able to select an application and Bitwarden stores the fill file fill path (path and name of the EXE file) as new URL in the selected entry.
IMHO this is a feature that must be implemented in the Bitwarden Desktop App.
