Auto-fill logins on iOS
On this page:
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 Settings.
Enabling Auto-fill in Settings
- Tap 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

- 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

- Tap App Extension.
