I'm coming from LastPass.

When the LastPass browser extension detects a login that is not present in the vault, it pops up a message suggesting to add this login to the database.
Upon confirmation it creates a new entry with the url, the username and the password ready filled in, leaving the user only some minor edits as necessary.
Possibly, LastPass can do this because it has a direct connection with the Vault at the LastPass server, but I think that the same can be established between the Enpass browser extension and the Enpass app running on the local system.

I'm confused as this should be readily available: https://www.enpass.io/docs/desktop-windows/browser_ext_using.html#saving-new-logins

I need to figure out why it appeared to be not working for me.

It's working alright.

One question though: Would it be possible to (optionally) open the newly created item so as to enable editing the Title and other fields as necessary?

Hey @StephanP

The feature for editing items directly from the extension is already on our roadmap for a future version.

Cheers!
