Great browser addon? The one I'm using (the official one) could definitely use some improvements in UX and security

- when I open it my master password is prefilled and you can just unmask it - either don't prefill it and have me enter it or log me in immediately

- when creating new credentials it defaults to master password again that you can just unmask. And the URL is empty instead of the current URL

- everytime: I open a site in bitwarden, copy the username, paste in the form field in browser, open bitwarden and it's on the login page again - why can't it remember where I left of so that I could copy the password too?

EDIT: in Firefox

Regarding your first two points, this is a long shot but maybe it will help: I had a very similar problem with LastPass where password fields in the LastPass UI kept being pre-filled with my master password, even in places where there seemingly should never be pre-filled. It turned out that I had accidentally enabled my web browser's autofill/password manager functionality, and every time I visited the LastPass extension's internal URL, my browser was autofilling every password field with the password that my browser saved.

Once I turned off the password manager feature of my browser (I didn't need it anyway since I was using LastPass) it solved the problem.

Hah that did it. I'm sorry for criticizing BitWarden when it was my own fault
Master password is never prefilled on mine. Not to log in to it or to create new credentials. I can't even see that as an option.

You don't happen to have that password set up in your browsers own password management tool do you?

Url for new credentials is always the current one as well.
