Issue Tracking Info
- [X] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
I have the same issue. Clicking the Bitwarden icon in Safari several times eventually shows the database. Highly annoying behavior!
Same here. Also - which I find somewhat dangerous - sometimes the extension does not unlock, but after reloading the web page, the extension is suddenly unlocked.
I noticed the same thing @philipgo. Both issues seem to be resolved now that I updated the Bitwarden extension.
