Bramble fills logins in Safari and in apps through iOS AutoFill. On iOS 18 and later it fills 2FA codes too, and on iOS 17 and later it can save and use passkeys.
Turn on AutoFill
- Open the iOS Settings app and go to General, then AutoFill & Passwords. On iOS 17 and earlier, go to Passwords, then Password Options.
- Turn on Bramble.
Fill a login
- Tap a username or password field, then tap the key icon above the keyboard and choose Bramble.
- Unlock with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode if you’ve set it up, or enter your master password and choose Unlock Vault.
- Bramble lists this site’s logins under the site’s name, such as For example.com. A row like Show all items (12 more) opens the rest of your vault, and the search field finds any login.
- Tap a login. Bramble fills the username and password.
On iPhone, Bramble offers a login when one of its websites is the same site, its parent domain or a subdomain. A login for example.com shows on shop.example.com, but a login for accounts.example.com doesn’t. This is narrower than the browser extension. Only logins with a password are offered.
Fill and save
If you pick a login that isn’t saved for this site, Bramble asks Save to Bramble?. Choose Fill and save to add the site to the login, so Bramble offers it here next time. Just fill fills without saving.
Stay unlocked between fills
After you unlock in AutoFill, Bramble stays unlocked there for as long as your Auto-lock timeout in Settings → General. Within that time, Bramble fills without asking again. Locking the app locks AutoFill too.
With Immediate, you unlock every time.
Show logins above the keyboard
- Open Settings → General in Bramble.
- Turn on Keyboard suggestions.
iOS then suggests your matching logins above the keyboard. Tap one to fill it.
Fill a 2FA code
On iOS 18 and later, Bramble fills the current code from a login’s Authenticator key (TOTP). With Keyboard suggestions on, the code shows above the keyboard on the site’s code field. Only logins with an authenticator key are offered for a code.
Passkeys
On iOS 17 and later, when a site offers to create a passkey, you can save it in Bramble. When you sign in, iOS offers Bramble’s passkey for that site. If you have several, Bramble asks Choose a passkey.
Keep AutoFill up to date
AutoFill uses the vault you last opened in Bramble, as it was when Bramble was last open and unlocked. If a login you added on another device is missing, open Bramble, unlock it, and let it sync.
iPhone doesn’t let other apps save logins as you sign in, so add new logins in Bramble.
