That's really useful to know. Thank you for sharing!
I did know this already, but it's easily forgotten as it isn't common to need it. I find banking sites are the main place this is useful, as they ask for all sorts of extra information.
I don't know if it is just one site I use or simply a limitation, but I have found that custom fields don't seem to work on mobile.
I've been having some issues on mobile recently. I just tried it myself and the custom fields aren't working for my site either
edit:
as per this comment in the original post, it doesn't work on mobile:
thanks. not sure if I will ever use it but hopefully I remember about it if I need to.
I honestly cannot remember when I had to frequently or even semi-frequently fill out any sort of custom field. Sounds like an extreme edge case scenario or something to very specific user niches.
I wasn't sure which community this was more appropriate for, so I posted in both!
Been trying to figure that out! Thank you so much for the tip!
And here's just a bit of a security warning re: autofil
Isn't this for a browser's autofill? I don't have enough knowledge on the subject, but even though it can be vulnerable, it isn't as bad as browsers?
Yes this is correct, however I think the security risk still rings true for any auto fill in that you have to presume any information entered into an auto fill template can be accessed by any website you use that function
Bitwardens autofill can be disabled and then triggered manually with a click or ctrl+shift+L when you want to login
Thanks, I hope I remember this if this ever is relevant to me.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
