- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13217157, 7 years agoIt's freaking gpl! For those people who don't know it's a special license for software that shows that the developers respect the user and reveal how the program works, so no shady business, which is especially valuable for cryptographic software. I pay only for gpl or gpl-compatible software. Others do not deserve my money because they treat me like garbage and I return the favor. The only hope of mine is that BW will stay gpl... not like EBOOKDROID which became proprietary shite all of sudden. In addition to the license the BW addon is superb! It doesn't slow down my browser and works in the newest versions of firefox (57-compatible and above) and in chromium! It also has a sleek and convenient interface. Nice job, BW!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10906664, 7 years agoPerfect - open source, lightweight, available for all platforms, centralized development and continuously improved.
This is absolutely something new on the market so far. - Rated 5 out of 5by Heydrickx, 7 years agoIt does just exactly what I need : secured password easily accessible. I started using it because LastPass (which is also great btw) became more expensive and free functionalities were being changed to paid functionalities.
So I started using Bitwarden and don't regret it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12162430, 7 years agoPerfect. In the past I used lastpass, but it uses a lot of CPU slowing firefox, and for this reason I happened to Bitwarden. Bitwarden works fine and does not use any CPU
- Rated 5 out of 5by emiliano.bovetti, 8 years agoI just migrated my passwords on bitwarden from encryptr. I must say, it's excellent: strong security, highly configurable, feature rich, two-factor authentication, open source, simple. It's all I want from a password manager. Cheers!
- Rated 5 out of 5by jth, 8 years agoseems to be the right tool for the job. very easy to use, doesn't slow down firefox for me.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Shantar, 8 years agoStart to use it recently and I am quite satisfied. In UI I suggest the icons instead of the text, it would be more obvious, e.j. Folders
- Rated 5 out of 5by EwenB, 8 years agoI have experimented with them all, my most long term one has been LP but it became too bloated so it joined the rest on the scrap heap. Now I have Bitwarden and it leaves all the rest for dead... best one ever. Love it!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Sid, 8 years agoFinally, a truly intuitive, masterfully conceived, password manager. I had to live seventy-nine years for this, but, BitWarden is worth every minute's wait! I've been a rather happy user of LastPass for years, but, BitWarden blows LP away...in spades!!!!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Dustin, 8 years agobitwarden works very well at what it does, but I was spoiled with LastPass's feature set.
In particular, having the ability to securely store and aut-fill credit card information was extremely useful.
As others say bitwarden does its job well and doesn't put a bunch of "value-add" time wasters in your way. I look forward to the day when the paid features are available so I can give financial support!Developer response
posted 8 years agoThanks for the feedback. We'll have credit cards and other secure note types out this summer sometime. - Rated 5 out of 5by Smartfon, 8 years ago1. Lightweight. No negative performance impact.
2. The Developer is very active. The problems I encountered when the app was first released were addressed within less than a day.
3. The developer is open for feature feedback. If you have great ideas, send it to them.
4. Android app is fast and very convenient. It supports autofill. Unlike other apps, BitWarden icon isn't always visible on the notification bar, which is better because it doesn't clutter the space. It only appears when it detects a login field.
5. It's an open source addon, which makes it more trustworthy. Hopefully the developer will find resources to hire an independent company to do a professional audit of the code.
6. It is a WebExtension which means it will work when Firefox 57 arrives. - Rated 4 out of 5by GMS77, 8 years agoI switched from Lastpass to here because that extension is too bloated now but I do miss a couple of its features, hopefully you can implement them here.
1. I'd like to be able to set certain sites to have a password re-prompt so I can keep logged into my vault but have to enter master password again for example banking and shopping sites.
2. The ability to create secure notes.Developer response
posted 8 years agoThanks for the feedback. Secure notes is planned to be coming soon. - Rated 5 out of 5by Bogdan Sinitsyn, 8 years agoI like the whole bitwarden project because it's open source and provides good modern-looking and featureful add-ons for all major browsers and applications for mobile OSes. I still have some issues though but I'll try to help as much as I can.

Was für schwachsinnige Programmierer habt ihr denn da am Werk? Ein Stern is noch zu viel.
JUST DONT TRY IT: ITS A WASTE OF TIME!Developer response
posted 8 years agoSorry you had trouble importing. Which importer were you using? We had a slight issue earlier in the day with our 1Password importer that has now been resolved. Please contact us at https://bitwarden.com/contact. We would love to help you resolve whatever issue you are having. - Rated 5 out of 5by Austin Delamar, 8 years agoI initially made an account a long time ago, but didn't start using it until today. Its a great free service, and this browser extension is fantastic. Its password management done right.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12955505, 8 years agoAn ideal solution for password manager that too open source. Kudos to developer. Wish more features will be added to the extension in the future. Currently missing lock when browser is idle for certain period like lastpass.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Toni, 8 years agoI'm using Bitwarden in all my browsers. Clean GUI and easy to manage all passwords. Wish they keep up this good work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by flawi, 8 years agoSwitched from LastPass like many others, works just as advertised. It's about time we got a good open source password management solution.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12922532, 8 years agoLike others, I have switched to bitwarden from LastPass. I'm so glad I did. It works exactly as promised. You should still view the instructional video, though. The interface is modern and easy to use. Like others, I'm eagerly awaiting the Firefox iOS extension.

posted 8 years agoFirefox iOS extension should be available in the next Firefox release. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12839668, 8 years agoSwapped to bitwarden from lastpass, couldn't be happier. However if you're like me and have any non-passwords saved in your lastpass account, you'll have to edit the .csv file to remove those before bitwarden's import tool will be able to read it. Hope others don't get stuck on that like I did, because I've had no problems since getting my info moved over!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12623088, 8 years agoI've been using this for a week. It works very well. It doesn't slow down the browser.
The one thing it lacks is a shortcut in the text fields, but I can live without it.
I'm enjoying a fast FF! - Rated 5 out of 5by Garrett, 8 years agoExactly how a password manager should be. Definitely a nice change from LastPass..
