Bitwarden Password Manager by Bitwarden Inc.

Rated 2 out of 5
by Exostenza, 4 months agoIt's a potentially good service with seemingly all the features you'd want in a service like this but they don't always work or are all even present. I find a lot of the time it either won't suggest to unlock the extension when clicking on a login or password field and even the fill in keyboard shortcuts don't work - its been too intermittent to tell if it is only some sites or just a randomly triggered bug. Also very annoying, when I click to fill in a login and password it'll prompt Windows Hello Fingerprint randomly in the background so I have to click on it on the taskbar instead of it showing up in the foreground all the time as it obviously should. I also bought it for the premium features while the Firefox extension doesn't even have the advertised anti-phishing feature yet which is one of the reasons I paid for premium. So, they are advertising features that aren't even available which I think is dishonest which doesn't inspire trust in the company and their practices - it is strange that the supposedly most secure browser seems to be the least supported.
The above poses instant issues when considering the service for tech illiterate people as these problems are deal breakers. I want to set this up for my boomer mother who has been successfully phished several times but the fingerprint in the background bug will definitely make her think it's not there and therefore not working. Also, the non-existent anti-phishing feature advertised for the premium edition literally takes away the reason I would consider paying for a premium account for her.
These are all, however, grievances that could be easily fixed with competent non LLM vibe coding done by a real human being which could easily bump my rating up a star or two and pay for premium for my boomer mother but for now Bitwardem is mediocre at best and I can't recommend paying for premium to anyone and even the free version's bugs may pose problems depending on your tech literacy.
Bitwarden devs: you're close but you have to fix these things before I can recommend the service.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19671618, 10 hours agoGenerally good, but they need to fix the display bug that causes functionally necessary information and buttons to be hidden off screen with no way to access.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15076512, a day agoUpgrading to vaultwarden 1.37.1 fixed the problem with extension
- Rated 1 out of 5by Frensesia, 2 days agoIf it was possible i would've given this 0.25 stars as the extension is worthless.
Imported all my passwords and it doesn't even suggest any of them on any site ever.
Firefox own password manager is so much better and user friendly than BitWarden. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20022895, 2 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by xin, 6 days agoThere’s an issue with version 2026.7.0 on self‑hosted vaults, so I rolled back to version 2026.6.1 to fix it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ochazukez, 10 days agoubuntuのFirefoxでパスキーを利用するには必須の拡張機能。
また、ubuntu, WindowsそれぞれのFirefox, Chrome, Operaを使っている私にはどの端末のブラウザをつかってもパスキーやパスワードが同期されていることが素晴らしい。 - Rated 1 out of 5by Zackorrigan, 10 days agoIt used to work nicely but in the last month, I have to reenter my 4 bitwarden accounts at least once a week because it loose them. One of them isn't even self hosted...

- Rated 5 out of 5by NickCool, 17 days agoIf you host Vaultwarden yourself and Bitwarden version 2026.7.0 broke your sync with Vault, you need to update Vaultwarden to at least version 1.36.0, preferably the latest.
