Vaultwarden Build Version

v1.35.1

Deployment method

Official Container Image

Custom deployment method

No response

Reverse Proxy

nginx 1.27.1.2

Host/Server Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

Ubuntu 24.04

Clients

Web Vault

Client Version

Chrome 143.0.7499.192

Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to 'Password Manager'
2. Click on 'New' > 'Login' at 'Vaults' page (EN)
3. See issue.

Expected Result

Vaultwarden may set the autocomplete attribute to off to prevent autofilling saved Chrome credentials from autofilling the New credential fields.

Actual Result

I have my Master Password saved on Chrome credentials (I know, bad idea) and when creating a new entry, it autofills the saved mail address and Master Password on 'Username' and 'Password' fields. If I change the Vaultwarden language to Portuguese Brazil, the fields 'Password' and 'Authenticator key' is filled instead.

Please read https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Bitwarden-clients-troubleshooting

[eduardomozart]

I can confirm this issue does not happen in the official Bitwarden Web Vault, and I have already tried to use :testing images from Vaultwarden and the issue persists.

[BlackDex]

We use the same web-vault without any significant changes. So it must be some setting on the client side of the browser extension probably. And if you do not have the same kind of entry for the Bitwarden Cloud/official, then for Vaultwarden, then the comparison is not fully identical

Since we do not edit any of those features, it's strange to be an Vaultwarden only issue.

[stefan0xC]

Not sure if this also helps with Chrome but we could do something similar like we do for the send password? vaultwarden/vw_web_builds@e0a076c (Though this should probably be fixed upstream...)

[eduardomozart]

The master password isn’t saved on Bitwarden browser extension itself, but on Chrome Password Manager. Not sure why it isn’t reproducible on Bitwarden Cloud but only in Vaultwarden. Can you try to reproduce the issue?

[stefan0xC]

Well, it is reproducible in both for me so not sure if you have excluded it or maybe you have not saved any login credentials for Bitwarden Cloud? Or you have multiple credentials (at least in Firefox that seems to prevent autofill.)

[eduardomozart]

I have saved the credentials the exact same way (accepted the auto-generated key during the first Master password generation after registration), not sure why I wasn't able to reproduce it on Bitwarden Cloud. Should I open an issue with Bitwarden team? If so, where can I do it?

[kibeb]

My workaround, in nginx reverse proxy conf:

    location ~* ^/app/main\.[a-z0-9]+\.js$ {
      # Fix issue #6688, discussion #6689
      sub_filter_once off;
      sub_filter_last_modified on;
      sub_filter_types *;
      sub_filter '["bitInput","","formControlName","password"'
                 '["bitInput","","formControlName","password","autocomplete","new-password"';
      proxy_pass http://vaultwarden-default;
    }

[eduardomozart]

Bitwarden seems to be able to reproduce the issue and a fix maybe available soon: bitwarden/clients#18495 (comment)
