None of your complaints are true if I understand you correctly. The Firefox and Chrome extensions for Bitwarden support auto-fill (on page load) and fill with hotkey Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + L. At least on Mac, unlocking using biometrics (fingerprint) also works, both in the browser extensions and in the native app. On Android, there's both auto-fill (and fill through suggestions at the top of the Android keyboard) and biometrics. There's also a Bitwarden app for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

What do people here like better: typed or untyped functional languages? in c/functional_programming

Exactly the same here. 10+ years ago, untyped languages felt so much more productive; they were a breath of fresh air compared to e.g. Java. But after discovering typed languages with type inferencing (Haskell) and nowadays gradually typed languages, I cannot work without types anymore. It feels icky to not have a compiler check types.
