To throw in a second viewpoint: 99% of the time I open the extension, it is to trigger auto-fill. I don't like having my credentials auto-fill on page load, I like to be the one to trigger it.

That being said, I also hated the change that hid the copy buttons, but they have a setting that brings them back.

You may know this, but they introduced a feautre that lets you use Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L in order to trigger auto-fill. I have disabled autofill on pageload but LOVE this shortcut key.

I'm the same as you in how I use Bitwarden.

I'd also like to add that if you keep repeating that shortcut it will cycle through the different logins you have for the current site.

Nice trick. TIL.

I had no idea!! That’s awesome thanks for sharing.

I'd put the success rate for this feature at about 80% for passwords, 30% for address information, and 0% for payment info (maybe intentional?)

I'm with you about not wanting the autofill, but I use the key combo mentioned below in nearly 100% of cases.

The vast majority of the time I'm opening the extension popover it's because the key combo failed to autofill (site doesn't support it) and I need to manually copy/paste.

For extra fun - the Key combo is customizable if you don't like ctrl-shift-L

Just hit up chrome://extensions/shortcuts and change the combo to something you'd like.
