That's actually a gripe I have with Bitwarden, because you can't turn that feature off. If an attacker can take over a single endpoint, Bitwarden will happily send your credentials to an iframe from a malvertiser without ever telling you.

It's a fine feature and the WebExtension API won't let them solve basic auth in any other way, but it's a security risk in my opinion. I'd much rather see browsers provide an API to HTTP Basic auth prompts instead so the user can select an identity from the list if they've got a saved username/password combo that matches a given set of requirements.
