Autofill-focused password manager? (feddit.de)

Thanks for all the comments. Currently I use KeepassXD/DX + Syncthing.

I hash my password with fingerprint on Android, keep a seperate database containing that one in another place for backup. Maybe thats stupid, but I cant type on a phone.

On Linux I use KWallet, store the Keepass password there, and have a shortcut fetching that password and inserting it into the Keepass wallet using KeepassXC. Works with one click too.

Problems

all entries are either locked or unlocked
to have autofill working, the app cant be killed (Android)
also, all passwords need to be decrypted for it to work

I dont see that this is the best solution. Decrypted, maybe hashed metadata possible to detect autofill fields, and then selectively unlock the needed credentials, would be better.

No, it doesn't. I just tested it. I restarted my phone to make sure Bitwarden is closed, Opened the browser and opened a website where I have an account. In the login mask where I was prompted to insert my credentials the little popup appeared and when I tapped on it Bitwarden opened. It wanted me to enter my Master-Password so I did just that and it opened the DB to offer me the entries for auto-fill. You can even set a preference to immediately lock the DB after a single use and to always prompt the Master-Password (+ 2FA (optionally)) if you want.

Edit: Hell, you could even make it completely sign you out after every single use so you'd have to re-enter your email address, Master-Password and TOTP for 2FA. Not even KeePass offers you that level of security because you don't need a username for your DB.
