A login item stored in your vault can have one or more [URI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier){:target="_blank"} values associated with it. URIs can relate your login to a website address (URL), server IP address, mobile app package ID, and more. URIs are important values for a login since they determine how the auto-fill functions in Bitwarden will behave.

A well-formed URI also has a protocol at the beginning of it. The most common protocol that many of us are familiar with is the `http://` protocol used for a website address.

- **`http://`** or **`https://`** tells Bitwarden that this is a website address. Example: `https://www.google.com`
- **`androidapp://`** tells Bitwarden that this is an android application package ID (or package name). Example: `androidapp://com.twitter.android`. Android apps typically follow [reverse domain name notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_domain_name_notation){:target="_blank"}.

The base domain is defined as the second-level domain plus the top-level domain of the given URI. A URI with a value of `https://www.google.com` would have a base domain value of `google.com`.
