by Dave Name, 17 days agoHard pass on this quirky, annoying, and badly-coded app.
For instance, if you have the audacity to scale up your display, then look out - the annoyance factor will be ramped up by a factor of 10.
The app doesn't play nice with display upscaling. It doesn't allow for scrolling (or rearranging) within itself to get to other saved websites - it has a popout feature to do so that itself functions badly. So if you utilize that function, and go to a saved website, the app can block the login info, rendering the whole exercise useless.
And getting the app to close (or not close, as the case may be) so you can get to your desktop when closing FF provides further annoyance that shouldn't be the case if it was properly coded.
I've only gotten this thing to actually work for ONE website (i.e., where it filled in the password automatically), and that was before that website disappeared in the app and I had to use the aforementioned popout feature...that blocked the website login page.
I could go on and on about the annoying quirks I've encountered with this thing (on Win 10 computer), but the main obvious problem is that it is badly coded/badly designed from an intuitive, common-sense perspective. It's as if the designers didn't even test out its features for functionality.
It is astounding to me that this thing has received any favorable reviews from the likes of folks who should know better, such as PC Mag.
If this is the best out there, then I'm glad I haven't come across the worst.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Burghy, an hour agoWith the new update, everything is slower. Even if I just opened it, when I go back to the plugin, it has to reload again. The copy button, which was supposed to be quick, now requires me to choose what to copy. But most importantly, the support for Microsoft Hello when requesting a fingerprint at browser startup goes into the background, forcing me to move the mouse to the taskbar and finally place my finger on the reader.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18881377, a day agoWas perfect until they recently updated it and redesigned the extension. Now it fails to save logins frequently unless I open a separate window. It is also a lot slower than it use to be.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18881047, a day agothe add on refuses to stay open while windows hello biometric unlock occurs which breaks the unlock. I have to open it in the add on side panel to force it to stay open while focus changes to the biometric authentication. no other browser on windows, mac, or linux has this issue with the bitwarden add on. it is only firefox and only on windows. please fix this issue

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18880176, 2 days agoDestroys browser performance. What happened? I genuinely disable it when I'm not actively needing it. What a let down. Used it for years. Looking for an alternative now.
- Rated 5 out of 5by David G, 2 days agoTop. Très complet.
Mais pourquoi est-ce si compliqué d'aller chercher un id et un mot de passe.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Untwist3419, 2 days agoSlow, buggy since the UI update. It take almost 60 seconds to update a password now, not use able anymore.

- Rated 2 out of 5by speed, 5 days agoIve never written reviews. But bitwarden has become bad and frustrating. Crazy.
The thing is, I have a protonmail subscription. I was just testing out proton-pass, i rarely used my sub because I just used it for mail. But _wow_. Proton-pass is so good! I will use that for now, the impression is awesome.
Sad bitwarden turned out like this. Im actually a paying customer. - Rated 3 out of 5by VJ99, 5 days agoGotten slow and buggy ever since they redid the UI. I'll take the old, working version back.

- Rated 2 out of 5by AJLobo, 6 days agoI rarely write reviews, but I think this is warranted. The clean, minimal interface that we used to have is gone in favor of a more clunky, busy UI. This is a regression. It even takes over a second to load all the elements on the popout. Also, why would you hide the autofill function under a secondary menu when this is the entire reason we use this extension?!
Lastly, now it gives you suggestions for logins which take priority over your favorited logins. What's next, AI integration to better inform us on how to use a password vault? - Rated 5 out of 5by sayimburak, 6 days ago
