posted 8 years agoHI, this will likely never be an option. You may want to consider using a solution like KeePass instead if this is what you desire. - Rated 5 out of 5by Bill, 8 years agoIt does the job just fine!
i used last pass and i was looking for a better alternatives. i tried a lot of addons that have apps for mobile and non of them worked as good as this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13365548, 8 years agoAt first I was a little concerned about ditching LastPass when moving to Quantum, but those worries quickly evaporated after a few days with bitwarden. Though I've run into a few quirks with the mobile app on Android (namely, it not properly detecting fields in browsers other than Chrome) I'm glad I switched over.
The UI is much more slick and clean than LastPass on both PC and mobile, and I've had far fewer site detection problems with bitwarden. There's notably less feature bloat as well. It does what it's supposed to do and doesn't stretch itself thin.
Tip #1: At first glance it may seem like there's not an auto-fill feature for this addon on Firefox, but you can enable it in the experimental features tab.
Tip #2: My migration with LastPass mostly went without a hitch, but there were a couple sites using certain characters that didn't move over friendly. So if you have trouble logging into a site after switching you may have to change your password for a site here or there, depending on the frequency you use those characters in your passwords. - Rated 4 out of 5by Jason, 8 years agoThis addon is a must for anyone looking to escape the world of Closed Source Software. As such the biggest pro is this is open-source. However some limitations amount to annoyances. LastPass atleast for the moment has better detection on password changes and registrations (atleast on Linux tested on Google-Chrome, Firefox and Chromium). Another annoyance I recently ran into is premium features I would suggest should be able to be toggled off so as to not make this software feel like shareware/freeware. The import of my LastPass Vault went pretty straight forward but had a few minor issues that I quickly figured out.... Infact its been a few months since and I can't recall but I believe it had to do with a few comments?? Luckily nothing major and I have a huge vault so I expect most users to be able to import without problems and whatever issue I may have ran into likely may have already been corrected. This addon has a lot of potental so please don't view my review as anything but constructive criticism! Currently I am on the fence over detection of changed passwords/missed registrations since thats a huge pro for me. I'd give this 3 stars if it were not for the open-source factor which is a huge security improvement in password management. Encryption is nice but if it is implimented poorly it is useless so by being open-source I feel that user scrutiny will catch anything that might not be caught in closed-sourced software.
- Rated 4 out of 5by François Villeneuve, 8 years agoDoesn't have as much snappy features as LastPass but that's not all a bad thing. LastPass is turning into a bloated app and costs a fair bit more for the premium version, so the simplicity here is welcome. I wish its generator had support for multisyllabic readable passwords like LastPass.
- Rated 5 out of 5by CircARgs, 8 years agoThus far it outperforms LastPass in all features they share.
- Rated 2 out of 5by mecki78, 8 years agoBitwarden used to be great and offered a lot of great features over competitors but as with many projects that got successful, its owners currently run it down. They implement useless features and make changes nobody has ever requested. Despite protest they are not talking the changes back. On the other hand they ignore customer requests, even from paying customers and direct all oft that into a new forum which in fact is just to get all of that out of the way as nobody from Bitwarden ever looks into that forum or cares for the complains of customers there. Currently I cannot recommend that password manager any longer. Oh, and the new color theme is horrible, hundreds of users have complained about it but Bitwarden doesn't care.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13356174, 8 years agoBitWarden is the way passwords are done! Sharing features are spot on, usability is near perfect. I am definitely on-board for what this product accomplishes in the long run!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12547415, 8 years agoSwitched from LastPass recently. Its amazing to have a simple yet secure password manager all open source!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13354266, 8 years agoDue to bugs and incompatibility I switched from lastpass. This addon does exactly what it should. Migration took 5 minutes. Works well on android too
- Rated 4 out of 5by Marco, 8 years agoI like the open source approach. Pricing is also ok for private users, but a few things are missing in the plugin:
- folders cannot be collapsed
- Right click menu is missing the option to generate a secure password - clicking through the plugin itself is possible, but the other way would be faster
- Bitwarden homepage (online vault) cannot be opened through plugin. The arrow on the top left is opening the plugin in the full Firefox tab. Why?
- An option to have the username or username and password automatically filled for a matching homepage would be nice
- Push notifications for two-pass authentications
And please, conduct an independent security audit. Otherwise great product, I think I will completely switch from LastPass.Developer response
posted 8 years agoHi,
Thank you for the feedback.
1. Noted
2. Unfortunately Firefox does not allow copying to the clipboard outside of the popup window. This is a limitation of the web extension API in Firefox. We offer this option in other browsers, however.
3. This is so that you can have a persistent window open since the Firefox automatically closes the popup when you click out of it.
4. This option already exists under Settings -> Features.
5. Noted. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ionut, 8 years agoVery easy to use! It's well priced so, I'm happy to pay to help the development further and make it the best password manager or at least at the top with all major players, competition is always good! Thanks! ;)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13305280, 8 years agoBeen using Last-pass.. They didn't have LP with Firefox 57+ and I saw Bitwarden so I figured I'll try it. It's wonderful, quick, looks nice and has all the options you would need. I like the fact 2-way authentication isn't required on the extension, just the website. I'd imagine it's that way because some things need to be done or can only be done through the website. Nonetheless, it's a nice option.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13351595, 8 years agoHad various minor frustrations with LastPass, finally tried bitwarden... it's great.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Sean Burford, 8 years agoI used to use LastPass and bitwarden is just outstanding. Development of the app has been swift and attentive to the needs of the community. It works better for me in many instances where LastPass struggled. For example, the auto-fill feature in Firefox Nightly worked flawlessly logging into most sites with very few understandable exceptions. It also works much faster than LastPass used to work for me (especially on the phone app). Much respect for the developers!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13340553, 8 years agoClairement la bonne surprise du jour !
- Compatible WebExtensions et donc Firefox 57
- intégration au top sur Firefox, Firefox Mobile, Chrome via les extensions et l'application Android est aussi du même acabit.
- interface plus claire que celle de lastpass et bien moins cher ^^
- opensource
- what else ? - Rated 3 out of 5by trashcanbin10, 8 years ago1. It causes some sites to erroneously render. Firefox behaves erratically more with this ext enabled than its counterpart Lastpass.
2. Autofill isn't there yet, very buggy and probably not going to finish anytime soon.
3. In-browser UI really needs rework. I should be able to quickly edit, add, delete data from my Vault there.Developer response
posted 8 years agoHi,
Could you contact us with the sites where you are encountering issues with points 1 and 2? You can email us at hello@bitwarden.com. We'd love to check them out so we can see why things aren't working as you would expect.
Thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by sean8102, 8 years agoDownloaded to replace Lastpass since it dose not support the new versions of Firefox. I was very surprised at how I don't miss Lastpass at all. Bitwarden simply works just like it should. It auto fills websites perfectly, has a simple UI, and it was easy to move all of my Lastpass data to Bitwarden.
Thank you for being so quick to support the newest versions of Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ricky T, 8 years agoFantastic replacement for LastPass. Very nicely designed. Straight forward setup for importing from other password managers.
Best of all, it supports firefox nightly (v58) - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13337413, 8 years agoStoring passwords on servers run by the one of the biggest spyware outfits there is. We'll see. Other than that,seems to be working well. Can I assume the future desktop app will allow locale storge? Also, is bitwarden supposed to auto detect newly created logins and offer to save them? It did not upon logging in here. I have "Disable Add Login notification" unchecked.

posted 8 years agoHi, if you are not happy with the current cloud offerings that we provide you can easily host your own server instance of bitwarden. See here for more information https://help.bitwarden.com/article/install-on-premise/
Yes, the addon will offer to save new logins if it does not detect the current login in your vault. There are currently a few edge cases (one being on this website) that we are still working to resolve. For the most part it will offer to save.
