Hi everyone. I just noticed something odd. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that I used to have Bitwarden's Vault as a Progressive Web App installed here on my system in the past, which I have since remove.

Today, though, I decided to reinstall it. So I opened up Bitwarden's website and sure enough, for my convenience, there was an “Install” icon on the address bar.

However! That seemed to have installed the Main Page, and not the vault page itself.

If I click “Login”, it will only open a new web browser tap to a login page, despite the fact that I'm already logged in.

Then I thought, fair enough, the “Install” icon was on the main page, the problem is, the Vault page's, doesn't seem to be available as a PWA, at all, as it doesn't have the option to be installed.

Was it all just a dream and I never had a Bitwarden Vault PWA, or something did change?

The regular app has always worked really well for me. I never considered a pwa.

Yes, it does work well. Using it now, though, I had to manually create a menu entry/launcher for it.
