The autofill activity should be excluded from recents as it causes issues especially on Android 10 with gesture navigation where you swipe right to switch to the last app. It will reopen the autofill activity then.

There's an attribute that can be added to the manifest for the activity.

+1 here.
I would love this feature.
I guess Bitwarden won't behave strange anymore when opened from recents after autofill but:
Bitwarden does not need to appear in recents at all, especially if it is opened from autofill.
Many people including me have the habit to swipe apps out of recents, it is just unnecessary to also have to swipe Bitwarden here since it doesn't change anything.
Also when multitasking back and forth its annoying to have this in between
