Invoking

There are three ways to invoke Bitwarden Accelerator.

  1. Using the Workflow Keyword (default: bw) will provide a list of operations. The list depends on whether you are logged into or logged out of Bitwarden, and whether your vault is locked or unlocked.
  2. Typing the hotkey will start a search of your vault. This is the same as choosing the Search Vault operation from the main menu.
  3. As a Universal Action, you can view an item's fields directly in Alfred.

The default hotkey is Control-Command-L, because the Bitwarden browser extension uses Shift-Command-L. If you wish to change or disable the hotkey, open the workflow in Alfred Preferences. The hotkey trigger is in the top-left corner.

Trash

Use the Trash Keyword (default: .bwtrash) will list any deleted items. Select an item to restore it.

  1. Bitwarden Accelerator makes extensive use of jq. If the Bitwarden CLI or jq package is not installed, Bitwarden Accelerator will ask to install it using Homebrew or MacPorts. Homebrew, MacPorts, or Nix must already be installed.
  2. Integration with Firefox requires the Alfred Integration extension.
