Feature Request: Ability to Disable a Login Without Deleting It (Hide from Autofill Suggestions)

[vovantamvn]

Description

Problem

Currently, the only way to prevent a login item from appearing in autofill suggestions is to delete it.

However, there are cases where users may want to temporarily disable a login without permanently removing it from their vault.

Examples:

• Old accounts that may still be needed for historical reference
• Temporary credentials that should not appear in autofill
• Multiple accounts for the same website, where some should not be suggested
• Staging/test environments that should not interfere with production login suggestions

Deleting the login is not ideal because:

• The user may still want to keep the stored information.
• Deleting removes history and metadata.
• It requires re-creating the item later if needed.

---

Proposed Feature

Add an option to disable a login item, with the following behavior:

• The login remains stored in the vault.
• The login is still visible in the Vaultwarden web UI.
• The login does NOT appear in browser autofill suggestions.
• The login does NOT trigger autofill prompts on matching domains.
• The login can be re-enabled at any time.

---

Suggested Implementation Ideas

• Add a boolean flag such as disabled: true/false to login items.

• When disabled = true:

  • Exclude the item from autofill and suggestion logic.
  • Optionally show a visual indicator (e.g., “Disabled”) in the UI.

• Provide a toggle in the login item settings (e.g., “Disable autofill for this item”).

---

Benefits

• Prevents accidental autofill with outdated credentials.
• Keeps the vault clean without forcing deletion.
• Improves usability for users with multiple accounts per site.
• Aligns with real-world workflows (e.g., rotating credentials, archived accounts).

---

Alternatives Considered

• Deleting the login (not ideal).
• Removing the URI (loses useful metadata).
• Moving the login to another folder (does not prevent autofill).

Thank you for considering this feature!

First, please read: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/FAQs#i-have-a-feature-request-for-the-web-vault-or-any-other-client

And second, there is a very simple way to prevent a login from appearing in autofill.
Just select never for that specific item for the URL you do not want it to match too anymore.
You can still search for it, but it will not appear in the autofill.

That would help too, but the solution provided above also works just fine.
