Command Palette Extension for Bitwarden

Prerequisites

• Windows 10 (19041+) with PowerToys Command Palette enabled
• Bitwarden CLI (bw) on your PATH

Installation

Microsoft Store

Get it from the Microsoft Store for automatic updates.

The Store version may lag behind GitHub Releases due to Microsoft's certification process. Install from GitHub if you need the latest version immediately.

GitHub Releases

1. Download the .msix for your architecture (x64 or ARM64) from Releases
2. Install the signing certificate (HoobiBitwardenCommandPaletteExtension.cer) to the Trusted People store:
   • Double-click the .cer file → Install Certificate → Local Machine → Trusted People → Finish
   • Or via PowerShell (admin):

     Import-Certificate -FilePath .\HoobiBitwardenCommandPaletteExtension.cer -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\TrustedPeople

3. Double-click the .msix to install, or:

   Add-AppxPackage -Path .\HoobiBitwardenCommandPaletteExtension_x64.msix

From Source

git clone https://github.com/your-username/hoobi-bitwarden-command-palette.git
cd hoobi-bitwarden-command-palette/HoobiBitwardenCommandPaletteExtension
dotnet build -c Debug -p:Platform=x64

Usage

1. Open the Command Palette (Win + Ctrl + Space)
2. Type "Bitwarden" to open the vault browser, or just start typing. Matching items appear as fallback results
3. If your vault is locked, you'll be prompted for your master password
4. Click an item for its default action, or open the context menu for more options

Security

• Master passwords are passed to the Bitwarden CLI via environment variables, not command-line arguments
• Session keys are stored in Windows Credential Manager when "Remember Session" is enabled
• Sensitive clipboard data (passwords, TOTP, card numbers) is excluded from Windows clipboard history and auto-cleared
• Vault cache is in-memory only, cleared on lock/exit
• No vault data is written to disk (only access timestamps for sorting)
• All search input is regex-escaped before use

Building

# Debug
dotnet build -p:Platform=x64

# Release
dotnet publish -c Release -p:Platform=x64
