I find it hard to believe that this has over 250 comments since early 2018 and not only is it still not implemented, but it doesn’t even seem to be in the roadmap for the first half of this year.This article needs additional citations for verification. But being able to use our password manager to log into RDM and our ticketing app, or enter credentials for bitlocker virtual drives, or any number of other non-browser situations would be a massive step up in our security – particularly if we can subsequently turn on TOTP-based MFA without a massive productivity penalty. We’re also intending to use the ability to add multiple URIs to a single entry to get away from our unmanageable duplication of credentials in LP. We use RDM, which we’re looking forward to re-implementing much more securely. It’s not a show-stopper, as we’re definitely moving. Desktop app auto-typing would be a huge thing personally (I use KeePass), internally (we have a bunch of apps that we’re cranking up the security on), and for our customers (only one of which has a password manager currently). The business I work for (an MSP) is about to move to Bitwarden from Lastpass (I’m sure you can guess why we’re leaving), and we’re intending to resell Bitwarden.
