I've had it work successfully on that kind of login, but next time I'll pay more attention to how it works. -- Great music, chat and even some wit.

There's two bits of bad news; first bitwarden has to be explicitly unlocked each time the browser is used. I can live with that, but that wasn't necessary previously because Chrome remembered my Google credentials and automatically logged me in, thus giving me access to its internal password manager. The second issue is that it doesn't work when logging in to Google itself. Unlike most sites, the login process for Google is two part; enter the email address, click Next and then enter the password. I think the problem is that bitwarden knows nothing about the two step process and so offers the email address at the password step. This is using the version of bitwarden that takes the form of a Chrome extension. I don't know if the OS based installation will be any better. I may try that sometime. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2021-07-06 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
