Autofill Logins on iOS
Bitwarden makes your passwords and passkeys available for autofill so that you can seamlessly log in to websites and apps while also maintaining strong and secure passwords. Autofill cuts the copying and pasting out of your login routine by detecting vault items that match the service you are logging in to.
Autofilling passkeys, including being prompted by Bitwarden when you create a new passkey, requires iOS 17.0 or higher.
チップ
Most autofill scenarios rely on the attribution of URIs to login items. If you are unfamiliar with using URIs, brush up using our Using URIs article.
Please note that custom fields are not currently supported in mobile autofill.
If you are logged in to more than one account, your mobile app will default to trying to autofill credentials from the currently active account. You can switch from one account to another during autofill by tapping the avatar bubble:
Autofill on iOS comes in two flavors:
Keyboard autofill: (Recommended) Use this option to make Bitwarden autofill accessible in any iOS app (including web browsers) through a keyboard button or slide-up prompt.
Browser app extension: Use this option to make Bitwarden autofill accessible only in web browser apps, like Safari, through the Share menu.
チップ
It is currently not possible to use auto-fill on iOS if your vault timeout action is set to Log Out and your only enabled two-step login method requires NFC (for example, an NFC YubiKey), as iOS will not allow NFC inputs to interrupt autofill workflows.
Either change your vault timeout action to Lock, or enable another two-step login method.
備考
If you are using Argon2id with a KDF memory value higher than 48 MB, a warning dialogue will be displayed every time iOS autofill is initiated or a new Send is created through the Share sheet. To avoid this message, adjust Argon2id settings here or enable unlock with biometrics.
To activate keyboard autofill on iOS for passwords, complete the following steps. This will also activate the slide-up menu for passkey autofill:
Open iOS
Settings and then General on your device.Tap AutoFill & Passwords.
Toggle AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys on and tap Bitwarden in the AUTOFILL FROM: list:

We highly recommend disabling any other autofill service (like Keychain) in the Use passwords and passkeys from: list.
Let's test autofill to make sure it's working properly:
Open an app or website that you aren't currently signed in to.
Tap the username or password field on the login screen. A keyboard will slide up with a matching login (
my_username
), or with a Passwords button:If a matching login is displayed, tap it to autofill. If the Passwords button is displayed, tap it to browse your vault for the login to use. In cases where the Passwords button is displayed, it's probably because there isn't an item in your vault with a matching URI.

A Bitwarden screen will slide up on your device and will list matching logins for the website. Tap the item to autofill.
チップ
If there are no logins listed, it's probably because there isn't a login in your vault with a matching URI.

Toggle AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys on.
Toggle Bitwarden on in the Use passwords and passkeys from: list.
