Login prompts like the one pictured below, called "basic" or "native" authentication prompts, will be automatically auto-filled by the Bitwarden Browser Extension **if there is only 1 Login item with a** [**matching URI**]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection).
If more than one Login item with a matching URI is found, the Browser Extension will not be able to auto-fill your credentials and you will need to manually copy/paste your username and password to log in.

You can also use the Browser Extension's {% icon fa-share-square %} **Launch** button to automatically open and log in to a basic auth-protected resource.
{% callout note %}
Currently, you cannot auto-fill on a basic auth prompt using the {% icon fa-folder %} **Tab** view, context-menu, or keyboard shortcuts.
{% endcallout %}

### Q: Can Bitwarden auto-fill a basic/native authentication prompt?
**A:** Login prompts like the one pictured below, called "basic" or "native" authentication prompts, will be automatically auto-filled by the Bitwarden Browser Extension **if there is only 1 Login item with a** [**matching URI**]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection).
{% image autofill/basic-auth-prompt.png %}
You can also use the Browser Extension's {% icon fa-share-square %} **Launch** button to automatically open and log in to a basic auth-protected resource.
### Q: Can I auto-fill on a split login-workflow?
**A:** Split login workflows (i.e. when username and password fields are displayed on separate screens) can be auto-filled by Bitwarden Browser Extensions, but not currently by Mobile apps.

Most auto-fill functionality relies on the attribution of URIs to Login items. If you're unfamiliar with using URIs, see [Using URIs]({% link _articles/features/uri-match-detection.md %}).
Additionally, **basic authentication prompts** work a little differently than regular auto-fills. See our breakout article on [Basic Auth Prompts]({{site.baseurl}}/article/basic-auth-autofill)
{% endcallout %}
Bitwarden Browser Extensions have a unique **Tab** view, which automatically detects the URI (e.g. `myturbotax.intuit.com`) of the page displayed in the open tab and surfaces any Vault items with corresponding URIs.

If you're new to Bitwarden, it's likely that the web browser you use has been saving and auto-filling your passwords. Most web browsers enable this by default, but experts generally agree that [built-in password managers are more vulnerable](https://www.wired.com/2016/08/browser-password-manager-probably-isnt-enough/){:target="\_blank"} than dedicated solutions like Bitwarden.
