Description

### Steps To Reproduce

Unlock Bitwarden vault
Browse to website that uses basic auth
Receive user/pass challenge
Autofill does not provide suggestions with context to the website being browsed
Clicking "Bitwarden My Vault" opens the vault and Bitwarden indicates that it is providing "Items for com.brave.browser or com.android.chrome".

### Expected Result

Unlock Bitwarden vault
Go to website in browser (ex, https://www.mysite.com)
Receive user/pass challenge
Autofill suggests passwords relevant to the site (ie www.mysite.com)
Clicking on a selection fills user and pass and pressing sign-in succeeds
Clicking on "Bitwarden My Vault" would provide results based on the site being browsed

### Actual Result

When accessing a website that uses basic auth, Bitwarden seems that it cannot see the web address that is being browsed for context and instead searches for items based on the browser being used (ie com.brave.browser/com.android.chrome).

- [x] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
