Bitwarden Password Manager by Bitwarden Inc.

Rated 1 out of 5
by Symphonix, 9 months agoI’ve been using Bitwarden for about 10 years, and I’m on the paid plan. I’ve always recommended it over the competition—especially after switching from LastPass following their security issues. I chose Bitwarden because it’s open-source, more secure, and had a clean, user-friendly interface. But the latest changes this week are absolutely terrible.
The new “Fill” button is a disaster. Clicking the row used to autofill—quick and simple. Now, you have to click a tiny “fill” button, and clicking the row just opens the view screen. Bring back the old behavior.
Why are the individual copy buttons hidden behind a sub-menu? There’s plenty of room to keep them visible. This is just unnecessary extra clicks.
Finding Identity and Credit Card info is now a nightmare. Before, I could scroll straight to them. Now it’s buried behind endless password lists, and I have to use a dropdown just to autofill or copy them.
2FA codes are harder to access too. I use Bitwarden for 2FA, and the new layout makes it slower and more frustrating to find and use them.
Overall, too many good features have been removed or buried. Tasks that used to take one click now take multiple steps. It’s a massive downgrade in usability.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Either bring back the old UI or I’m out.

posted 9 months agoHi. Mare sure you are on version 2024.12.4 or above, then check under Bitwarden Settings > Autofill > "Click items to autofill on Vault view" and Bitwarden Settings > Appearance > "Show quick copy actions on Vault" if you want to restore previous functionality that you may prefer.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 9999798, 3 days agoWas working great for years but now it doesn't want to auto-fill the ID and PW with almost all sites. I have a vault with about 100 sites. Very annoying to have to manually copy and paste the ID and PW. Tried various settings including turning off Firefox passwords features.

- Rated 3 out of 5by lrmr, 18 days agoWhat I find absolutely frustrating is the apparent lack of synchronization of access data across different devices. It either doesn’t happen at all or takes days to complete.
It’s really annoying to always have to log in to the web version just to access the most current and complete version of your login data.
A manual “Synchronize” button would be extremely helpful! - Rated 5 out of 5by danilo, 23 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by moon_elxna, a month agoworks good, has sometimes problems w detecting username and passwors fields
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19131306, a month agoKind of works sometimes. The extension for Firefox on Mac skips identity fields and sometimes doesn't respond at all. It's a good thing it's free, although it's still getting uninstalled. This was a really frustrating exercise in futility.
- Rated 5 out of 5by 🐷, a month agoПревосходное расширение превзошло мои ожидания 😻 Оно работает под Android 6, где самостоятельная приложуха не заработала!
Я пользуюсь неофициальным аккаунтом на чешском антиавторитарном сервере Vaultwarden. Найти совместимый сервер удалось не c первой попытки (на dein.pw не создавался аккаунт почему-то), зато когда аккаунт создался, дальше пароли синхронизировались хорошо.
В этом расширении нельзя сменить главный пароль: это делается только в самостоятельной приложухе или в вебинтерфейсе. (Но раз я не собираюсь менять главный пароль часто, меня это удовлетворяет.)
Это бровзерное расширение имеет неожиданно богатый функционал: можно даже импортировать ключ API от «DuckDuckGo Email Protection» — и я могу генерировать утиные псевдонимы электронной почты (crEpt-drEss-uddEr@Duck.com) даже без официального расширения 🦆
Графический интерфейс мне нравится: есть тёмная тема (не хватает только чернющей для экранов OLED). Расширение можно открывать по-разному: 1) обычной кнопкой с панели (Ctrl+Shift+U), 2) в боковой панели (Shift+Alt+U), и 3) в отдельном окошке, которое поверх других окон и всех вебсайтов.
Рекомендую Bitwarden всем новичкам (а если сумели найти неглючный сервер, то и Vaultwarden тоже рекомендую новичкам).
Интерфейс русифицирован (даже отчасти беларусифицирован), но справка на официальном вебсайте, к сожалению, только на английском языке. - Rated 5 out of 5by Riyat_LOre2024, a month ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18459626, a month agoThis password manager has been, by far, the best overall value and utility I have ever had, beating out both 1password and last pass. $10/yr is a steal. Even for a current annoyance with their plugin for firefox, its been super stable overall and continues to work in chrome and on mobile and such. This is what I am setting up my family members with, no regrets.
