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
- Tap {% icon fa-cog %} Settings on your iOS device.
- Tap Passwords
- Tap AutoFill Passwords.
- Turn on Auto-fill.
- Locate Bitwarden from the list and enable it.
- It's considered good practice to disable any other Auto-fill services.
The Auto-fill Setting is now enabled.
Testing the Auto-fill Feature
- Open an app that has not been signed in to.
- View the login page for the app and focus the username or password field. Your keyboard will appear with "Passwords" at the top of the keyboard.
- Tap Passwords.
- This will launch the Bitwarden application.
- Select the appropriate login from the list or search Bitwarden for the correct login.
- Your username and password will be auto-filled.
Enabling App Extension in Settings
- Open the Bitwarden iOS app.
- Tap the {% icon fa-cog %} Settings page.
- Tap App Extension.
- Tap the Enable App Extension button.
- Locate Bitwarden from the list and enable it by tapping it.
- You will now see "Extension Activated!" in green.
- Tap back.
The App Extension feature is now enabled.
Testing the App Extension Feature
- Open the browser of your choice.
- View the login page for the website you'd like to enter.
- Tap the
share icon. - Scroll down until you see Bitwarden and tap on it.
- This will launch the Bitwarden application.

{% callout info %}Please make sure iCloud Keychain is getting disabled during these process to avoid any interference with Bitwarden's autofill capabilities. You can verify it by going to your Settings app > tap on Apple ID > iCloud > Keychain > Off{% endcallout %}
