Bitwarden iOS AutoFill Not Working

Workaround available iOS, iPadOS Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

Most often Apple Passwords (or another manager) is also enabled as an AutoFill provider, or an iOS/app update broke the extension. Make Bitwarden the only AutoFill provider, update, and reinstall if needed.

Most likely fix: Make Bitwarden the only AutoFill provider.
