Sometimes a login page will have an additional field on top of the username and password (ex. last name, account number). This is often the case with things like banks, insurance, or government accounts.
I usually use Bitwarden to populate the username and password, then fill in the other field manually. Turns out, you can autofill those fields too:
- Right click in the field
- Select
Bitwarden>copy custom field nameThen enter that as the name for the custom field.
Up till now, I was using custom fields to store additional information about the webpage. This will make things easier :)
And here’s just a bit of a security warning re: autofil
Isn’t this for a browser’s autofill? I don’t have enough knowledge on the subject, but even though it can be vulnerable, it isn’t as bad as browsers?
Yes this is correct, however I think the security risk still rings true for any auto fill in that you have to presume any information entered into an auto fill template can be accessed by any website you use that function
