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]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection/) article.
|
|
|
|
Please note that custom fields are not currently supported in Mobile auto-fill.

## 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]({{site.baseurl}}/article/vault-timeout/#vault-timeout-action) for the device is set to **Log Out** and your *only* enabled [Two-step Login Method]({{site.baseurl}}/article/setup-two-step-login/) 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:**
|
|
6. Open an app or website that you're not currently signed in to.
|
|
7. 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]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection/) 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]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection/).
|
|
|
|
{% callout info %}Are you getting a `Biometric unlock disabled pending verification of master password` message? [Learn what to do]({{site.baseurl}}/article/autofill-faqs/#q-what-do-i-do-about-biometric-unlock-disabled-pending-verification-of-master-password).{% 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 <img src="../../images/features/auto-fill-ios/ios_share_icon.png" style="margin-top:0px"> **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]({{site.baseurl}}/article/biometrics/) 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]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection/) 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]({{site.baseurl}}/article/uri-match-detection/).{% endcallout %}
