Bitwarden Password Manager by Bitwarden Inc.

Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 14316038, 4 years agoThis extension is pretty good, but needs specific improvements in order to be worthy of 5 Stars. First of all, it does not coordinate with the MS Store Bitwarden App. This seems very strange. For example, I just changed the password for my VPN online at the VPN's website. I did this on my iPhone using the iCloud PW manager functions to generate the new password. I then copied and pasted the new password into the iPhone Bitwarden app. Shortly afterwards, maybe an hour later, I was using my Windows laptop and the Firefox browser and attempted to login to my VPN. When the extension autofilled the password, it was the old password. I thought, Okay, it must not have synced password databases yet. I started the store app and tried autofilling from there, and sure enough, it had the old password, too. So I forced a sync, and it now had the new password. However, when I returned to the Firefox extension and tried to autofill, it again filled the old password! What? So I had to force a sync with the extension before it actually contained the new password! This is nothing but stupid.
Additionally, why do I have to keep logging into the extension with biometrics when I've already logged into the app using biometrics. Or indeed, when I've already logged into Windows using biometrics? This also is a stupid duplication of effort and waste of precious time.
Come on, people. I know you can do better than this.
***** Update 6/5/2023: My earlier comments are still applicable. Now, though, the extension has started logging me out of my account. This is new behavior that did not happen before. When it logs me out, I am only logged out on the extension. I remain logged into my account on the MS Store app. But in order to log back in on the extension, I have to pull up the store app, unlock the vault with biometrics, lookup my master password, copy it to the clipboard, and then use it to log back in to the extension.
It's still a pretty good security app. But although they keep making little tweaks to it, they still haven't fixed the major issues I've reported here.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Lazarus, 8 days agoThe best password manager I have used to date. I wish it worked much better on Firefox for Android though. The autofill detection is very lackluster there.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Xandersoft, 14 days agoNach dem nun mehrfach das Browser Plugin seinen Dienst versagt hat, nach einem Update (kein QM mehr?) und 5 Tage nichts passiert ist.
Erstmal Autoupdate abgeschaltet (kann ja nicht euer ernst sein!)
Schaue ich mich nach einer anderen Option um (passbolt wahrscheinlich) -> Umzug!
v2026.8 - Latest version is no longer working
v2026.6 - not working / android, too
v2026.5 - not working
---
Since the browser plugin has now failed to work on multiple occasions, following an update (no more QM?), and nothing has happened for 5 days.
First, I turned off auto-updates (you can’t be serious!)
I’m looking around for another option (probably Passbolt) -> Switching!
v2026.8 - Latest version is no longer working
v2026.6 - not working / Android, too

- Rated 1 out of 5by Brice, 16 days agoVersion 2026.8.0 à ne pas installer: plus d'accès aux éléments de connexion. Revenir à la version 2026.7.0, et attendre une mise à jour.
(https : // addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/bitwarden-password-manager/versions/) - Rated 4 out of 5by Crookedcuc, 16 days agoI feel like the UI is not the best, but it does do the job. Please add webauth support like the chrome browsers have so I can use my security key to log in!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Re4mstr, 16 days agoBeen working for quite som time, but after the latest update, no longer works.
Please find other ways of storing passwords, cause Bitwarden is failing their users. - Rated 3 out of 5by Calcoon, 16 days agoNew version is broken obviously but calm down, just install the previous version.
open the main Add-On Page > scroll down to the bottom > Version History > click "See all versions" > install "Version 2026.7.0" by clicking "Download file" > install and log in - Rated 5 out of 5by Jone, 18 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 9996086, 18 days agoDo NOT update to version 2026.8.0
This latest release (2026.8.0, published August 20, 2026) is broken for many users. The extension opens to a completely blank white screen and becomes unusable. Vault does not load, login fails or hangs, and sync often throws Angular errors (including “Invalid time value”).
Multiple people on Edge, Chrome, and Firefox have reported the same issue. Downgrading to 2026.7.0 or earlier immediately fixes it.
Bitwarden seems more focused on pushing new monetization features (in-app upgrade checkout) than on basic stability. Please wait for a proper fix before updating. This version is currently unusable for a lot of people. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20113285, 18 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15665065, 18 days agoI hate to do this, but with the latest version breaking vaultwarden, I have to give it one star. Please fix this and I'll go back to the 4 stars that the extension normally deserves. For now, I installed an older one and blocked updates, but I'll check back in a few days.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Abejo, 18 days agoCada dos por tres deja de funcionar, por ejemplo en este momento tengo todo vacio, me toca volver a una versión anterior o esperar una actualización....
- Rated 1 out of 5by Yoan, 19 days agoLa connexion ne marche plus. J'arrive à l'étape où je dois renseigner le code TOPT, et une erreure survient.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 20112067, 19 days agoUX is terrible. Pick example from Enpass extension and desktop version, far more usable than this. Sometimes it doesn't synchronize, even logging in again.
- Rated 1 out of 5by martybee, 19 days agoBroke Vaultwarden compatibility :( Rolling back to an old version...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Henry van Megen, 19 days agoLatest version breaks self-hosted Vaultwarden.
Bitwarden devs, if you're reading this: If you made it so your docker implementation of the self-hosted variant would also only take a few megabytes of diskspace and 50-100 MB of RAM, then Vaultwarden didn't even have to exist in the first place!
Right now, the official Bitwarden self-hosted option is a bloated heap of garbage.
