Vaultwarden has worked greatly for me but today I found it does not have a feature to auto fill for the other applications. Any alternatives? (alien.top)

I have been so satisfied with the features so far. But I thought it would be better if I run vaultwarden on os level to autofill other applications. And I found 5-year-old thread for this feature, so I lost hope for that.

So I'm thinking of moving to the alternative. Anything works like vaultwarden plus this feature would be nice. Any recommendations? Thanks

Autofill on the host level only works if the OS and apps support it. I don't think there is a password auto-fill protocol for Linux. Autofill on OS level exists on Android (and maybe IOS? idk, don't use that trash) but I haven't seen it anywhere on a desktop. The best I've seen is automatic focus change and keyboard emulation to type the password.
