    Bitwarden is reasonably consistent, but you have to have recently logged into it. Before I open an app that needs auth, I open bw and unlock my vault. Most applications popup login with bitwarden and it can handle 3 stage logins usually even when the ask for 2fa before password.

        also true!

        I suspect I just need to set it not to relock the vault for a day and just auth it in the am and also set it not to sleep for power.

        But those two things aren’t really how I want things to be either.

      What happens when you don’t? I definitely have not had to do that.

        I get about a 80% chance of popping the dialogue to fill.

        If bitwarden isn’t already authed on my Samsung s24U, sometimes it will not pop the autofill with bitwarden button.

        If I have opened and authorized bit warden in the previous few minutes the pop rate is very close to 100%

        It won’t automatically suggest the right logins in your keyboard. There will be a chip with “Unlock your vault” or something like that.
