    I'm using bitwarden, and it has an official cli client that I've extended in my dotfiles to integrate fzf, you'll just need to adjust the commands for interacting with your clipboard : https://github.com/LoricAndre/dotfiles/blob/main/bin/fbw. Once you've installed the cli client, you need to login and then you can start the script, it will prompt you for an url match, then username if there are multiple accounts for that url, then put the username in the primary clipboard and the password in the system clipboard.
