How to usw the game hotswap feature?

Question

Dumb question, but how do I use the button on top left, for switching between two apps that are running? I'm trying to run bitwarden on the background, and change it to active whenever some game launcher requires logging in, and i need to get my password..

However I just can't figure out how to run two apps / games at the same time so i could use the button? How do i run two apps simultaneously?

Launch BitWarden. Press Steam Button. Select Library. Launch game.

Unfortunately it seems like I'm not able to copy text from one app to another. Looks like the Deck doesn't really work with password managers unfortunately.

It sounds like you're doing it in a very difficult way. The deck does work with password managers, just do it the way most people do: install the bitwarden plugin for your browser on the deck.
