Block Autofill on Specific Sites

Users of the Bitwarden browser extensions and Android mobile app can explicitly prevent autofill from being allowed on certain domains or URIs:

Browser extensions

[!TIP] What blocking autofill does on browser extension Domains that are designated for blocking will block autofill, passkey prompts, and prompts to save or update your credentials.

To specify domains to block for browser extensions:

  1. In the Bitwarden browser extension, open the ⚙️ Settings tab.
  2. Select Autofill, then scroll to the bottom of the screen and select Blocked domains.
  3. Select Add domain and specify the domain you want to block on.
  4. Select Save.

Android

[!NOTE] Support for URI blacklisting Autofill blocking URIs is currently only available for Bitwarden Android 8.0 (Oreo) or higher.

To specify URIs to block autofill on for Android:

  1. In the Bitwarden Android app, tap ⚙️ Settings.
  2. Tap Autofill.
  3. Scroll down and tap Block autofill.
  4. Tap New blocked URI and enter the URIs. Separate multiple URIs with a comma, like:
https://instagram.com,androidapp://com.instagram.android,https://facebook.com
  1. Tap Save.

Getting Android app URIs

For websites accessed via a web browser, a proper URI will be the https://.. address of the login page, for example https://instagram.com or https://instagram.com/accounts/login.

For Android apps, the URI scheme always starts with androidapp:// and is usually a bit different from a typical web browser URI. For example,

  • The Instagram Android app has the URI androidapp://com.instagram.android
  • The Reddit Android app has the URI androidapp://com.reddit.frontpage
  • The Bitwarden Android app has the URI androidapp://com.x8bit.bitwarden

[!TIP] Get URI from Mobile An easy way to obtain the proper URI for an Android app is to visit the app's page in the Google Play Store, tap the share button, and paste the copied link somewhere you can read it. The link will look like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android. The value after id=is your URI, in this case com.instagram.android.

For iOS users, an app URI can be obtained by using autofill to open Bitwarden. Once Bitwarden is open, select the + icon on the top right corner of the screen. From here, copy the URI that has been included in the new vault item. Paste the URI into your existing login item for this app.
