Bitwarden makes your passwords available for auto-fill so that you can seamlessly log in to websites and apps while also maintaining strong and secure passwords. Auto-fill cuts the copying and pasting out of your login routine by detecting Vault items that match the service you're logging in to.

{% callout success %} Most auto-fill scenarios rely on the attribution of URIs to Login items. If you're unfamiliar with using URIs, brush up using our [Using URIs]({% link _articles/features/uri-match-detection.md %}) article.

Please note that custom fields are not currently supported in Mobile auto-fill. {% endcallout %}

Auto-fill on iOS

Auto-fill on iOS comes in two flavors:

• Keyboard Auto-fill: (Recommended) Use this option to make Bitwarden auto-fill accessible in any iOS app (including Web Browsers) through a keyboard button.
• Browser App Extension: Use this option to make Bitwarden auto-fill accessible only in Web Browser apps, like Safari, through the Share menu.

{% callout success %} It is currently not possible to use auto-fill on iOS if the Vault Timeout Action for the device is set to Log Out and your only enabled Two-step Login Method requires NFC (e.g. an NFC YubiKey), as iOS will not allow NFC inputs to interrupt auto-fill workflows.

Either change your Vault Timeout Action to Lock, or enable another Two-step Login Method. {% endcallout %}

Keyboard Auto-fill

To enable keyboard auto-fill on iOS:

1. Open the iOS {% icon fa-cog %} Settings app on your device.

2. Tap Passwords.

3. Tap AutoFill Passwords.

4. Toggle AutoFill Passwords on and tap Bitwarden in the Allow Filling From list:

   {% image features/auto-fill-ios/autofill-ios-enable.png iOS AutoFill Screen %}

   {% callout success %}We highly recommend disabling any other Auto-fill service (like Keychain) in the Allow Filling From list before proceeding.{% endcallout %}

   Let's test auto-fill to make sure it's working properly:

5. Open an app or website that you're not currently signed in to.

6. Tap the username or password field on the login screen. A keyboard will slide up with a matching Login (my_username), or with a {% icon fa-key %} Passwords button:

   {% image features/auto-fill-ios/autofill-ios.jpeg AutoFill on iOS %}

   If a [matching Login]({% link _articles/features/uri-match-detection.md %}) is displayed, tap it to auto-fill. If the {% icon fa-key %} Passwords button is displayed, tap it to browse your Vault for the Login item to use. In cases where the {% icon fa-key %} Passwords button is displayed, it's probably because there isn't an item in your Vault with a [matching URI]({% link _articles/features/uri-match-detection.md %}).

   {% callout info %}Are you getting a Biometric unlock disabled pending verification of master password message? Learn what to do.{% endcallout%}

Browser App Extension Auto-fill

To enable Browser App Extension auto-fill on iOS:

1. Open your Bitwarden app and tap {% icon fa-cogs %} Settings.

2. Tap the App Extension option in the Auto-fill section.

3. Tap the Enable App Extension button.

4. From the share menu that slides up, tap Bitwarden.

   A green Extension Activated! message will indicate success.

   Let's test the App Extension to make sure it's working properly:

5. Open your device's web browser and navigate to a website that you're not currently signed in to.

6. Tap the Share icon.

7. Scroll down and tap the Bitwarden option:

   {% image features/auto-fill-ios/extension.png Bitwarden in the Share menu %}

   {% callout info %}If you have [Unlock with Biometrics]({% link _articles/account/biometrics.md %}) enabled, the first time you tap this option you will be prompted to verify your Master Password.{% endcallout %}

8. A Bitwarden screen will slide up on your device and will list [matching Login items]({% link _articles/features/uri-match-detection.md %}) for the website. Tap the item to auto-fill.

   {% callout success %}If there are no Login items listed, it's probably because there isn't an item in your Vault with a [matching URI]({% link _articles/features/uri-match-detection.md %}).{% endcallout %}
