Never change your password. I did so only because my password was leaked out on the dark web. Since it was similar to the one used with accessing Bitwarden, I changed it.
Bad move.
Now I can no longer sign into the Bitwarden Add-On in Firefox.
However, I can sign into Bitwarden through the online vault, and while remaining signed in, I can then sign into the stand alone Bitwarden application and yet still not sign into the Bitwarden Add-On in Firefox. It refuses to recognize the new password. You can sync the app everywhere and it won't make a difference.
You can delete the add-on, re-add it, restart Firefox, and dance naked beneath a full moon and it will not recognize the new password once it is changed.
Oh, and even trying the original password doesn't work either. Yes, I even tried that.
Also, forget turning off two-step sign in, because no matter how many times you do that, it will turn itself back on again and usually at a time when it is most convenient.
I remember the days when signing into things was a breeze, now you have to bend over backwards and shove your face up your arse to get into even the most ridiculously unimportant sites. Thus having a password manager... that doesn't work with it's own password.
Oh, and forget trying to use it easily with an iPhone. I have the new iPhone 16 and it has been reduced to ridiculousness. It is almost impossible to use it easily without have to circumnavigate Apple's BS making anything but their own password manager easy to use. What used to be a single step process, is now three or more steps. Don't expect to create new passwords on the fly, or for Bitwarden to recognize website that exist within it. You will have to manually got into the app and do it the old fashioned way... click click, type in website and search, click click, copy username, click click, paste into website sign in page, click click back to Bitwarden, click click copy password, click click paste into website password field... and hope.
This is as much Apple's fault as it is Bitwardens, and perhaps more so. Apple doesn't want anyone using anything other than what they can force you to use that they can make more cash on. Which is why I detest them as much as I once loved them when Apple was still Apple before that Microsoft hack, Tim Cooke was taken on as CEO. What in hell was the board of directors of Apple thinking? Profit and ever more profit that was all.
Enough ranting. Now I have to figure out how the hell I'm going to be able to sign into accounts made with Bitwarden when it still worked. Passwords of 135 characters long.

After updating the Bitwarden Firefox extension to version 2026.7.0, the vault remains stuck on the loading placeholders and no items are displayed.
Going back to 2026.6.1 fixes it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13539882, a day agoTo those come here for a broken update: I updated vaultwarden to 1.37.0 and resynced it's working now.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20055573, 2 days agoThe extension not working on the newest version is not a problem with bitwarden itself but with the selfhosted vault.
So nothing to complain, great extension and so grateful that selfhosted is supported. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19922097, 2 days ago2026.7.0 не работает со старым Vaultwarden. Обновил Vaultwarden до актуальной версии, работает.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Derp, 2 days agoYou broke it. Newest version get stuck loading the vault and is blank. Can't use it now. Self-hosted. Desktop app and web interface work fine, so I know it's this plugin.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20055976, 2 days agoТекущая версия 2026.7.0 сломана. Расширение не подгружает пароли
Version 2026.70 is broken. Does not load passwords on self-hosted - Rated 5 out of 5by happy, 3 days agoSince the latest update 2026.7.0, it no longer loads my vault...
UPDATE YOUR VAULTWARDEN-SERVER TO THE LATEST VERSION AND IT WORKS AGAIN!! - Rated 1 out of 5by MrCapybara, 3 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20052149, 4 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by pandazorus, 5 days agoThe good:
- does what it says
- cross-platform sync works well most of the time
- free tier more than enough for most use cases
- open source + self-hosting options
The bad:
- the UX is bad and inconsistent, and hasn't improved for years. you get sort of used to it
- serious performance issues with some "dynamic" pages (home assistant in my case)
- was recently bought out by a private equity firm - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18996315, 5 days agoWorks most of the times. But then once in a while it just doesnt save / sync or whatever. Signing in from new PC and some passwords have suddenly vanished. They are on mobile. Updating password on mobile still doesnt update on PC. Relogging doesnt work...
Logging out, reinstalling and logging in, fixed it temporarily. In the middle of a session, the plugin removed itself. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20047461, 7 days agoThe idea behind bitwarden is good, but their understanding of user experience is horrible. They don't listen to community and they spend time and money to worsen their product. It's fcked beond repair.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14600166, 8 days agoI recently noticed that whenever I do video playback the corresponding tab will spike to 60% CPU usage (in a single CPU thread) and doing profiler in Firefox's process manager clearly shows that Bitwarden (requestIdleCallback handler) causes this.
Disable the extension and refresh video website solves the issue for me.
