Topic: Extensions suddenly need new permissions, but I don't know why

[viprit]

Just got an alert from Bitwarden that it needed new permissions, access to my clipboard. So I hit OK because I like bitwarden, so it's not like I have much of an option?

The notification just says that such extension suddenly needs access to do X (that it didn't before when you installed it). But, what changed that makes it need this permission, is there a new feature? Something changed? Are you leeching data now?  free netflix tech news android 9


Thankfully, Bitwarden is open source so I could go through its commit log to figure out what it's doing recently regarding the clipboard (since there was nothing on its blog), but it was a bit of a chore.

I wish there was a way to get either news, or more comprehensive information about the change rather than just the new permission.

Hello, this is the Italian support forum and the help you need is rather specific: I suggest you to write to the developer or drop a line in the reviews on the extension page.
