You can use the Bitwarden iOS app to add new and auto-fill existing logins on the web and in other apps. There are two settings which need to be enabled on iOS to cover all Auto-fill scenarios, Password Auto-fill and App Extension. These settings can be enabled from within the Bitwarden App under **{% icon fa-cog %} Settings**.
|
|
|
|
### Enabling Auto-fill in Settings
|
|
|
|
1. Tap **{% icon fa-cog %} Settings** on your iOS device.
|
|
2. Tap **Passwords**
|
|
3. Tap **AutoFill Passwords**.
|
|
4. Turn on Auto-fill.
|
|
5. Locate **Bitwarden** from the list and enable it.
|
|
6. It's considered good practice to disable any other Auto-fill services.
|
|
|
|
The Auto-fill Setting is now enabled.
