Write your passwords down (2010)

I noticed that as well, the fix for me is pretty easy: just create the account in bitwarder first and then autofill it in the actual account creation page. No extra work, and becomes habit quite quickly.

This is fine on desktop. It's less great on mobile.

I haven't found it to be too bad on mobile... but ymmv of course.

I used to agree with this until I thought about the order in which to do it. The issue was that I'd open BitWarden manually to create credentials, rather than doing it during the autofill popup.

Here's how I do it on iOS:

1. Select the password field and open BitWarden through the button above the keyboard.

2. The password list will be empty. Press the + to create new credentials.

3. Enter a username, generate a password and press save.

4. The list will now have a single entry. Press it to autofill.

I do the same on mobile, not sure I noticed any reason it's worse there.
