This just copies my clipboard into edge.
IIRC it's done this way deliberately as an extra layer of security to prevent hijacking of passwords that are auto-filled into a page. I think it does have an option to enable the auto fill though.
No good to me then, as an example for one particular site in my work I have 4 different logins from the same page, that then goes to a new page on each with another 2-3 logins depending on what is being done.
The ability to just click the login box and select the right account quickly when swapping between them is critical. As stupid as it sounds, that extra "right click, find the right context menu, move mouse, select account" over "click box, click account" isnt acceptable

Right but then use autofill and you don't have to right click any menu. You have to turn this on.
Bitwarden supports extra vaults (Companies) so you can have 1 log in with different vaults. i.e Work/Home etc.

Yes I have autofill turned on, and if I have to use a different login to the one it autofills its an absolute chore compared to Lastpass for example.

Then you would just go to the password manager and select the right one you want to log in with.
And yea thats the issue that ive explained above.

Why is it an issue?
Productivity. When im having to log in and out of multiple levels of systems and subsystems rapidly multiple times within an hour with multiple differing logins, the extra faff of bitwarden over basically every other password managers implementation is an issue.

Then you don't want bitwarden, have you tested each one of them to see which one increases productivity then?
Why do you think I was asking if I had missed an option?
Is that multiple accounts on a unique url? I'm curious how lastpass deal with that. IIRC it still had a pop-up box to select the account that you wish to log into?
I can't see how you'd avoid that as you'd have multiple accounts all referencing the same url, so it would still require you to manually select one?

This is always the case, you can't auto fill 3 passwords. You can reference URLs though so depends on the url depends on the password.
Yes, but on everything else you left click the password box and chose the account, 2 clicks and takes half a second.
The Bitwarden implementation is very poor in this regard imho.
If they added this in then I would use it 100%.
This is how I do it with 1Password when I have multiple URLs on the same parent domain.
I do it with two clicks at the minute. Given I'm already at the login page, I click the Bitwarden extension icon on Chrome and then click the login I would like it to use to login with. Is that not what you mean?
No what he's after is when he clicks the password box with lastpass it pops up with a list of saved accounts, you select one and it auto-fills.
As opposed to Bitwarden you'd have to click the Bitwarden icon and then select the account for auto-fill. It's not much difference or any extra steps, it's just a behavioral change that would be required.
I had wondered if it was something LastPass might have copyrighted.

Well, I don't know if it's considered more work... click the login box, select an account or move mouse up to bitwarden icon, click and click an account. Same clicks, but maybe 1 second longer?
