Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6410

Steps To Reproduce

In your browser, go to vault.bitwarden.eu (Chrome/Brave).

  • In the email field, select your credentials - your email will be filled in.

Click > Logging in with your master password

You will be prompted to save your password in the Bitwarden manager (as a new entry).

Is there, I hope, any overall effort to get Bitwarden to be less over-enthusiastic about offering to save passwords? I experience OP's issue on Windows using Firefox extension. Also Bitwarden offering to save passwords for sites where it already has a saved password, and Bitwarden offering to save passwords on fields that are not login fields. It may seem like a trivial issue that users should ignore, but it creates confusion, and there shouldn't be any confusion anywhere in the password pipeline; that's just an invitation to make a mistake.

@mc510 This issue here is about the Android app only (well, unless internally Bitwarden finds a connection to other clients too). - You probably should join this current report for the browser extensions: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/19524 (or, if you see something different, search for another matching bug report there - or open a new one yourself here: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues)
