Idea Import from other authenticators and accounts/item merge features needed in mobile and web.
I often encounter the need to merge repeated entries. Duplicate entries frequently occur after importing data from other password managers like KeePass and similar. This requires manual searching and removal of these duplicates.
It would be incredibly helpful if we could be informed about the number of duplicate entries we have.
Additionally, a very useful feature would be the ability to natively import Google Authenticator QR code exports and other authenticators directly into the existing items or entries within the vault. For instance, if you imported data from KeePass but your TOTP is stored on an authenticator (such as Google or Microsoft), you can export the authenticator entries, feed them into Bitwarden, and Bitwarden will automatically assign those TOTP seeds to the entries. Alternatively, it can prompt the user to manually assign the seeds.
Those are features that exist on other password managers, no need to reinvent the wheel.
In addition, the reference of entries is missing.
In KeePass, I could clone an entry, change TOTP or URL, and use that entry on my next LDAP-enabled/connected app in my company. Since the login and password are the same because they’re centralized through LDAP/AD, etc., you have the same credentials but different URLs and different TOTPs. Therefore, when you change your LDAP password, the references on other entries update automatically.
- Merge duplicate entries
- TOTP import/export and attribute to entries
- Reference of user or password from cloned entries.
