Bitwarden, the trusted leader in password, secrets, and passkey management, announced an enhancement to the inline autofill capabilities within the Bitwarden browser extension. This update introduces seamless autofill for credit cards and personal identities, enabling more secure and efficient interactions with web forms for payment details, contact information, addresses, and registration forms.
Fifty-five percent of consumers that store payment credentials have faced disruptions during online checkout processes, including incidents of stolen credit cards. This statistic underscores the risks associated with storing sensitive information directly with retailers, who may not implement end-to-end encryption. To mitigate these risks, Bitwarden empowers users with a secure solution for storing credit card details, which can then be safely and efficiently autofilled during online transactions. This approach not only enhances security by minimizing potential exposure to data breaches but also simplifies the payment process on trusted websites.
Extending existing autofill capabilities
This new update broadens the functionality of the inline autofill feature, first introduced in December 2023. It allows users to easily and securely autofill payment and personal information directly from the Bitwarden browser extension, simplifying online activities such as shopping and form submissions for enhanced productivity and security.
