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.

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 %}
