iOS Autofill with Bitwarden does not populate the newly added vaults

[kunxia]

I've turned on the Autofill feature in iOS with Bitwarden app. After I add few new vaults in my Bitwarden and try the autofill, I don't see those newly added vaults populated (after the screen is switched from the current app to Bitwarden), however when I open the Bitwarden app separately, I can see all the vaults including the newly added ones.
This issue goes away if I restart my iPhone, otherwise, it persists even I restart the Bitwarden app.

Try turning off autofill for Bitwarden under iOS Settings and then back on.

I’ve actually tried this option before reporting the issue, still not refreshed.

I am encountering the same issue as well. Turning off autofill does not refresh the list. Logging out and then logging in again in Bitwarden app does not also refresh the list.

My workaround is to add a dummy entry while in the iOS autofill screen and then exit. Then invoke the iOS autofill screen again.

iOS 12.1 on XS Max.

My wife is also encountering this error (iPhone 6 iOS v12.1.2) and @mrkcee's hack is the only way to get it working

Bitwarden does not update vault when in password autofill window.
Opening the bitwarden app itself will update the vault.

This issue is quite annoying, I rarely use the IOS app since I mainly create my password on computer and use autofill in IOS to log in on websites. Each time I want to log in somewhere on my iPhone I have to first open the app, log-in, then go back and enter again my master password to retrieve the credentials to be auto-filled :-(
I think a simple "pull to refresh" gesture inside the autofill window would be a really great workaround !! Thxx in advance :)

This does not work anymore on an iPhone Xr with iOS 13.5.1 Bitwarden Version: 2.5.0 (193)

I’m also encountering the same issue, furthermore with the recent discovery of some apps stealing your clipboard contents I’m hesitant about copying and pasting my credentials directly from the Bitwarden app...

Same I am still having issues, I have to uninstall the app and then redonload and setup the auto fill again. Please fix.

I also have this issue however I'll bring in some more light on it.
The autofill component of Bitwarden doesn't seem to properly sync data:

• there are still items in my autofill that do not exist anymore in my actual vault (iOS or web)
• there are items I have renamed / updated that are in my vault (iOS or web) that are not renamed / updated in the autofill
• there are new items in my vault (iOS or web) that are not yet in my autofill.

Removing then reinstalling Bitwarden on iOS doesn't seem to solve the issue

One thing I just figured out: the iOS autofill return items that are in the Trash.
Clearing the trash solved the following issues:

• Seeing old deleted items (it seemed that it never synced properly when in fact it is showing trashed items)
• Seeing duplicates (I deleted an item a while ago and created a new one with the same name. It was driving me nuts that my item showed twice)

A fix for this would be to not sync the trash or to exclude it from the search list when doing an autofill.

@kenijo are you still having issues with updated / new items in the volt are not showing on iOS autofill.

I have to completely uninstall he app and sing back in again for it to sync the changes to iOS autofill.

I am also still having this issue. I can go into the app itself and see the updated vault, but when I got to a form to autofill, it doesn't have the updated vault with the new login. It's like the autofill vault isn't synchronizing with the actual vault.

[kenijo]

re you still having issues with updated / new items in the volt are not showing on iOS autofill.

I am not having the issue anymore but this is because:

• I went to the https://bitwarden.com/
• Emptied the items from the trash
• Went back to my iOS app
• Fully logged out (actually, I even deleted the app to be sure)
• Re-log in the app

The items in the trash show up in the iOS autofill vault only (not in the app itself) and it made me believe there was a sync issue.
