- Rated 5 out of 5by Dario, 8 years agoIt works very well, is available also on the phone and has a clean interface. I migrated from LastPass in 5 minutes. Autofill can be enabled in preferences.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6941134, 8 years ago* Compatible with latest version of firefox, not restart needed
* Importing from lastpass work fine, barring one quirk about the ampersand character
* Autofill doesn't work, but I don't need that anyways
* Not as feature rich as lastpass, but good enough for day-to-day usage
* Open source software, being improved constantly
* Clean user interface, looks better than lastpass
#### Update
Autofill actually works (mostly), but it's marked as experimental.Developer response
posted 8 years agoThanks for the review. I'm curious why you cannot get auto-fill to work. Do you mind sending more details to hello@bitwarden.com? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12563786, 8 years agoApp works on FF 57, and simply the fact that the analytics setting is off by default makes me trust them. Also, open source of course so yeah...
- Rated 2 out of 5by Tiso, 8 years agoI tried importing my passwords from LastPass using the web vault import tool, but it failed to recognize some passwords: several special characters where converted to HTML entities (& to &), making passwords invalid.
It also fails to properly import special formatted notes like credit cart, ftp server logins and WiFi passwords, transforming them in plain text notes.
For some time 2FA authentication with Google Authenticator failed, completely locking me outside of my vault. Seems to be fixed now.
The web vault includes Google Analytics script. Analytics have no place in a vault where I store all my private passwords. It should not even be a opt-in choice. It severely damages the trust I have in this service.
Still feels like a beta service. I'll just wait for the LastPass team to updated their extension to work with Firefox 57+.Developer response
posted 8 years agoHi Tiso,
Thanks for the feedback.
On your note about the import, this is actually a bug from LastPass's export and we have it documented with a warning during importing.
Secure notes are not fully supported at this time, which is why they are converted to regular notes. This feature will be coming out within the next month. - Rated 5 out of 5by tpiom, 8 years agoI used Lastpass for a number of years but finally let it go after so many problems: it became slow, customer support never replied (WTF?!), I was unable to export my passwords (it just reloaded)
So, I turned my attention to Bitwarden and I think I'm in love!
It's very easy and straightforward. It does everything Lastpass did for me, but better!
Full rating!
I may even buy premium (just $10 a year) to support them. I don't really need the features, even. - Rated 4 out of 5by Rick, 8 years agoBecause of all the issues that have popped up with Last Pass in Firefox I gave Bitwarden a try. So far it works well. Last Pass info can be exported into Bitwarden wiih little effort. So far it seems to work a little smoother than LP but I haven't tried much more than simple logons. I tried to find help on the LP problems but gave up. They don't seem to be interested. Lots of forum posts about it but I couldn't find any solutions. Another company took over and soon after doubled the subscription rate. Bitwarden is $10/year. I'll give it a try for a while and will likely go to the Premium.
- Rated 4 out of 5by charles.ee, 8 years agoEdit: One huge plus in Bitwarden's favor is actually implementing 2fa in a way that makes sense. If you want to use a Yubikey, but then fall back to Google Authenticator, you can. Unlike Lastpass, where it's one or the other, something almost none of the other services I use 2fa with seem to restrict.
I'm giving Bitwarden a try as Lastpass drops the ball on Firefox support.
It's very clean, and quick. Parts of the interface are clunky (when you edit/save a new login, the giant green bar indicating that YAY YOU SAVED covers up ALL the useful buttons in the interface and doesn't time out nearly quickly enough, forcing you to click the X even to perform a simple task that shouldn't involve the notification.)
It's not quite as good at detecting login pages and offering to save logins as Lastpass. If you ever need to toggle away to, let's say, copy a Authenticator code the extension completely closes and you have to re-type everything, even if you were in the middle of adding a new login. So even if you're only half-done, make sure to save even if your new entry is incomplete.
It seems to especially fail to capture new logins if you have two-factor authentication enabled for your accounts (which really, you should, right?)
It would be nice to create a folder/category for your login in the very same screen that you create a new login. It's clunky to create a login, then toggle over to settings, create a folder, then toggle back over to your vault, and finally assign the login a folder.
The extensions don't sync automatically, or don't sync very often. Which means changes in your vault or in another browser don't sync until you manually click a button. That's an extra step that seems unnecessary.
That said, I went ahead and paid for Premium even if I don't plan on switching away from Lastpass. It seems like there's a lot of room to focus on exactly what used to make Lastpass great, before it started to get bogged down in sluggish UI and doubled in price without any real increase to functionality. - Rated 5 out of 5by Heymatt, 8 years agoI switched from lastpass to bitwarden, why you ask? Lastpass is proprietary and closed where as bitwarden is open source and transparent. Also it turns out, bitwarden is cleaner and more simple to use. Easy decision.
- Rated 5 out of 5by grzzzly, 8 years agoIt's open source and does what it needs to do without the bells and whistles.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13291148, 8 years agoMoving from lastpass to bitwarden was easier than i expected. The extension is smooth, easy to navigate. Does what it promises. Well done.

posted 8 years agoHi. The ENTER key issue is a bug with Firefox, not bitwarden. You can read more here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1384078
You need to click the log in button with your mouse instead.
你好。 ENTER键问题是Firefox的错误,而不是bitwarden。你可以在这里阅读更多:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1384078
您需要用鼠标单击登录按钮- Rated 5 out of 5by devon2001, 8 years agoTried Bitwarden as a Last Pass alternative, to find it actually outshines them by miles.
Open Source, premium model is extremely cheap and this has in a few weeks become an essential add on - Rated 4 out of 5by 玄清介, 8 years agoIt is an Oracle business intelligence based site. Every time I open a page, it pops up and say a script from bitwarden slows firefox. Thanks a lot if you can fix this.
Developer response
posted 8 years agoCan you please send us the link to the website so that we can test it? You can email us at hello@bitwarden.com - Rated 4 out of 5by MakeFirefoxGreatAgain, 8 years agoNo option to select from multiple logins(It autofills the last one) for a website.
Other than that is doing a good job. Developer is responsive and its open source which is always preferable when it comes to security. Go the last mile!Developer response
posted 8 years agoHi,
If you have multiple logins you can select the one to autofill from the popup window or right-click context menu. Watch our getting started video for more info: https://bitwarden.com/browser-start/ - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12335945, 8 years agoSwitched from LP and looks great so far. I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to configure so that I am prompted to login immediately after opening Firefox?
2. Is it possible to be prompted again for Master Password for certain more sensitive websites (eg. banking)?
Thanks and keep up the good work.Developer response
posted 8 years agoHi,
1. Yes, configure lock options under settings to "on restart".
2. Not currently. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12712648, 8 years agofields autofill not working properly on some websites
Developer response
posted 8 years agoCould you please tell us which websites so that we can fix them? Send us an email at hello@bitwarden.com with details - Rated 5 out of 5by streetwolf, 8 years agoCouldn't wait for a decent replacement for LP. Keep the new features coming and keep providing great support. The new experimental auto fill feature is working great for me.
- Rated 4 out of 5by firefoxtrot, 8 years agoIt would be useful to stay logged in or setup custom limits.
Developer response
posted 8 years agoHi,
The addon does not log you out. You will stay logged in permanently unless you manually log out. You can set limits for lock options to lock the extension after a certain time under "Settings".
Are you getting logged out for some reason? Send us an email at hello@bitwarden.com if so and we can help you figure out the problem. - Rated 5 out of 5by dodgson, 8 years agoAfter several years of sticking with LastPass I'm dumping it for this. The features aren't 100% there yet (specifically I miss secure notes), but totally usable. Especially impressed by how *this* team can be bothered to post their encryption code to github (unlike LastPass) and *this* team can be bothered to fully support Firefox 55+. Unlike some other password services this one also doesn't *require* running an app install outside of your browser.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Old Bear, 8 years agoBitwarden est un excellent gestionnaire de mot de passe, mais je regrette quelques soucis de sécurité sur le module : le verrouillage automatique ne dépend pas de la fermeture du navigateur par exemple (fermeture au bout d'un temps donné ou au verrouillage du PC par exemple ; plutôt qu'en fonction de la fermeture du navigateur) ; et surtout le module ne permet pas une déconnexion automatique (uniquement verrouillage). Du coup, l'authentification à double facteur n'est pas sollicitée quand on s'authentifie de nouveau avec son mot de passe fort.
Le module bénéficierait vraiment d'augmenter cette sécurité.Developer response
posted 8 years agoHi,
We plan to add automatic log out in the near future. This will allow 2FA to be used each time.
Salut,
Nous prévoyons d'ajouter un déconnexion automatique dans un proche avenir. Cela permettra à 2FA d'être utilisé à chaque fois. - Rated 5 out of 5by HardKoreG, 8 years agoCould you add an option to remove the number from the toolbar icon?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Adriano, 8 years agoAlém de ser bem fácil de usar, é bonita, efetiva e sem propagandas. Também é muito leve e funciona em outros browsers, facilitando encontrar seus favoritos.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Dave, 8 years agoAverage at best due to having no Autofill feature, a must have for password managers, especially when the site has a popup for login, meaning you can no longer click on the Bitwarden icon, Router login does the same - add this important feature for more **
There is no Autofill at all, by Autofill I mean the login credentials are already filled in the login fields ready to press Login button when you visit the site
My example with my router goes like this, with Lastpass my credentials are already entered and ready to press login when I visit 192.168.x.x, with bitwarden the fields are empty with absolutely no way to fill them using bitwarden, if I click on the FF toolbar icon I get an error sound because I cannot click behind the login prompt that has popped up without closing the login prompt first
With normal websites I still have to click the bitwarden icon and choose the login I want to be filled, that is not auto, that is manual, Autofill = the password manager fills the login fields on its own without any interaction from the userDeveloper response
posted 8 years agoDave, quick update: We have released version 1.15.1 today which gives the option to autofill with hotkeys and automatically on page load. Check the release notes here for details: https://github.com/bitwarden/browser/releases/tag/v1.15.1
