- Rated 2 out of 5by Coldblackice, 3 months agoNew UI is awful! Autofill is broken, and the function to easily "Autofill this website" function that auto-populates the URL input is no longer there. Reverting ASAP to the old version.

- Rated 2 out of 5by MB, 3 months agoIt was phenomenal until the latest "redesign" or whatever they call it. Now it's extremely frustrating and difficult to use. The secure notes are all but unusable now, better remember what you called them!
I really hate this new theme. - Rated 2 out of 5by budget princess, 3 months agoLoved it until the new UI replaced the "click to fill" functionality with a tiny postage stamp "fill" button. Reverted to the last version with a usable UI until they fix this bug.
- Rated 2 out of 5by FireFueled, 3 months agoLast update made UI worse. Now I have to click a small button to perform a function that was triggered by a big broad button.
Dumb decisions requested by dumb financiers, made by dumb designers, and approved by dumb managers.Developer response
posted 2 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 5 out of 5by Madi Rayn, 3 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by CMDeml, 3 months agoUpdate: The UX issue I have can be reverse with an existing setting. The performance issues seem improved as well.
### Original review below ###
From downloading it 2020 to November 2024 this has been a 5 star addon for me, but they've recently updated it and it is slower and buggy now.
This update also change the UI functionality. It use to work like this:
Clicking the entry auto-filled and there was a smaller button to the side to open details to edit.
Now its reversed. Auto fill, the most important function, is now a small button. Now its a small button to the side. I don't need to check the details every day, I need to auto fill.
The UI itself looks nice, but not nice enough to justify the performance hit, and the functionality changes are just bad user experience choice.Developer response

They went with something pretty at the expense of functionality. I sent a support email pointing some very basic questionable design decisions and got a reply back effectively telling me I'm a piece of shit and they already checked with their biggest sycophants that it was good design. Making the button that is pressed 90%+ of the time 20px wide was an extremely terrible idea.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Amitabha, 3 months agoWe appreciate this tool a lot as it facilitates our everyday life on the Internet. Until now it was very convenient to have it always open on the screen as a sidebar. As the new look now is much broader at the sidebar this is not possible anymore. That's a pity, but still Bitwarden will stay our favorite among the password managers.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Bart, 3 months agoFill button is a disaster, NEVER change muscle memory behavior! Maybe change the Fill button to Edit button. This will make the edit fuctionality quickly available. But the main goal for a password manager is filling user/password combination. So default behavior should be kept as it was before !
With this Fill disaster change reverted, 5 stars rating will also be restored - Rated 1 out of 5by Jonathan, 3 months agoThe new UI update was an insane step back for Bitwarden. The extension would have been 5 stars before this update, but now there are some glaring shortcomings and some serious pain points for the user experience. These oversights truly make me question the competence of the team behind this extension. "If it ain't broke..."

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18758772, 3 months agoWas 5 stars before UI update in December of 2024. The new one makes accessing identity and credit card fills much harder. There were no issues with the old UI. Please revert back to it.

- Rated 3 out of 5by DS, 3 months agoNew version lost features I used. No longer has solarized theme and favorites are sorted by use and not able to change sort. Password management is still 5 stars but new version's user experience is losing 2 stars. This maybe not be an issue for all but found it to be an issue for me.

- Rated 5 out of 5by yjsp, 3 months agoUpdate 01/21/2025:
Changing from 1-star to 5-star. Bitwarden has listened to its community and implemented the usability improvement which restored the ease of use to a level that is equivalent the original version. However, several settings have to be changed for this to happen. This is not an issue for me, but might be for some other users who don't read reviews, forum posts or update notes.
Original 12/30/2024 review:
It was perfect until the UI update circa Dec 2024 that completely destroyed the ease of use. I can't get to my credit cards / identities on first click. They are now hidden under a drop down menu. Also, the "fill" button becomes so small it becomes a precision job. Please, don't "fix" what's not broken.Developer response
