Description

I have an account at https://forums.mozilla.org/ in my vault. I create a new account on https://support.mozilla.org/. After I log into that new account at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/auth, the Chrome Bitwarden asked me, "Do you want to update this password in Bitwarden?" and if I say yes then it changes the password in the https://forums.mozilla.org/.

Related issue: I actually have five different "mozilla.org" sites in my vault, but when Bitwarden asks, "Do you want to update this password in Bitwarden?" it doesn't say which of those sites it's going to update.

The "Do you want to update..." prompt should indicate which vault entry it's planning on updating. Furthermore, it should offer the option of saving a new vault entry rather than updating an existing one.

Research direction

The issue names the Chrome extension's password-save/update prompt but no files or tests. Start by reproducing the prompt with multiple Mozilla-domain vault entries and trace how the matching entry is selected. Done means the prompt identifies the entry it will update and offers saving a separate new entry instead.
