Browser extension shortcuts

Some browsers, including Microsoft Edge and Safari may use the below key combinations for other default shortcuts. In these cases, you will need to configure your browsers shortcuts:

  • For Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, and more) this can be done from chrome://extensions/shortcuts, edge://extensions/shortcuts, and so on.

    note

    Autofill for Microsoft Edge requires the latest Chromium-based version.

  • For Safari, you may need to re-assign the Show/Hide Sidebar shortcut in order to free up CMD + Shift + L for autofill by Bitwarden. Learn how.

  • For Firefox, refer to these instructions.

The following are the default shortcuts for Bitwarden browser extensions:

  • Ctrl/CMD + Shift + Y → Activate extension

  • Ctrl/CMD + Shift + L → Autofill, press again to cycle through matching logins

  • Ctrl/CMD + Shift + 9 → Generate a password and copy it to the clipboard

  • Ctrl/CMD + Shift + N → Lock extension

    note

    On most major browsers, the Lock extension shortcut is not set by default and will require configuration.

  • Manual assignment → Autofill the last used card for the current website. Learn how here.

  • Manual assignment → Autofill the last used identity for the current website. Learn how here.

tip

If a login uses the Bitwarden authenticator for TOTPs, using the Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + L will automatically copy your TOTP to your clipboard after auto-filling. All you have to do is Cmd/Ctrl + V to paste!
