Zero comments? This is maddening for a password manager to have non functional C/P.

Looks like this was changed in December 21, the localOnly flag was set to true for pasteboard operations.

Seems like a setting that should be user configurable.

On one hand, a few people won't want their passwords being handed off to other devices when copied.
However I think most people want to use their phone as a password vault(since iOS has a much stronger security posture than macOS), and copy passwords to their macOS device when they need to log in to something.

@fedemkr Thoughts on this?

Hi thank you all for the report and feedback. Yes, that was changed at the time taking into consideration security but it's been discussed and we're going to add a Setting that you can turn on to copy to other devices through Handoff feature (it will be disabled by default)

In the meantime, I've found a workaround to allow pasting passwords with continuity. Using the Shortcuts app, create a shortcut that takes your current clipboard and copies it again to the clipboard, add it to your Home Screen, and after copying the desired password on the Bitwarden app, tap on the shortcut.

any news on this? it's really annoying having to use workarounds to make such a basic thing to work.

This feature was disabled in the name of security, but to work-around it I usually paste the password into another app and then copy it again which is less secure than if this just worked.

As other users have suggested, this just creates an open security hole since I've been copy / pasting between apps and then between devices for this to work.
Since in my work laptop I cannot have bitwarden installed I cannot rely on extensions or the bitwarden app.

IMO having the Desktop App on your computer is LESS secure. I'm only using Bitwarden on iOS, and I copy/paste SINGLE passwords over handoff.

I've seen someones Macbook being compromised recently.
It would be really trivial for a malware to copy the entire Bitwarden App with settings + vault. Then it just has to wait listening for you to type your master password the first time you have to log in into any insert random website. Boom! Now your ENTIRE life is gone.

I much rather have less security for SINGLE passwords, than having my master password being constantly exposed to malwares, I type that like hundreds of times in a day.

Just make this a setting please.

@fedemkr any update on this? I'm currently trying to move away from an old OTP application which is no longer supported on iOS and move to using Bitwarden (I figure I'm paying for BW, I might as well use all the features) but the fact that I can't copy/paste OTP codes from my phone to my browser/etc is becoming a real pain ... so much so that I'm considering changing password managers to something which does support this.

I note that a year ago you said a unilateral change was made and it looked like there was going to be a user configurable option to enable/disable localOnly on pasteboard actions ... this would, I think, solve my (and other people's) problems ..

My old OTP app allowed Universal Clipboard processing, and it made my life considerably easier (I have to OTP probably 50-60 times a day on different platforms) ... which is why this is so important to me.

Did you come to a conclusion? Would you accept a PR that would turn the flag into a user-configurable setting?

This has been broken for over a year and is a real pita ... it's a simple change to re-enable (yes more work to make it a user configurable option) ... please make the change, I really don't want to have to switch to yet another password manager but its getting to the point where I may have to.

There are times when despite trusting the machine I'm on, I don't have Bitwarden installed but I still need to copy and paste a password from Bitwarden onto that client ... and at the moment I'm having to take it out of BW, into Notes, copy it from Notes and then paste it on the Desktop I'm using ... which is cumbersome.
