Rated 2 out of 5
by Exostenza, 5 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 1 out of 5by Xandersoft, 3 days agoNach dem nun mehrfach das Browser Plugin seinen Dienst versagt hat, nach einem Update (kein QM mehr?) und 5 Tage nichts passiert ist.
Erstmal Autoupdate abgeschaltet (kann ja nicht euer ernst sein!)
Schaue ich mich nach einer anderen Option um (passbolt wahrscheinlich) -> Umzug!
v2026.8 - Latest version is no longer working
v2026.6 - not working / android, too
v2026.5 - not working
---
Since the browser plugin has now failed to work on multiple occasions, following an update (no more QM?), and nothing has happened for 5 days.
First, I turned off auto-updates (you can’t be serious!)
I’m looking around for another option (probably Passbolt) -> Switching!
v2026.8 - Latest version is no longer working
v2026.6 - not working / Android, too
v2026.5 - not working - Rated 2 out of 5by Todi, 4 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Brice, 5 days agoVersion 2026.8.0 à ne pas installer: plus d'accès aux éléments de connexion. Revenir à la version 2026.7.0, et attendre une mise à jour.
(https : // addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/bitwarden-password-manager/versions/) - Rated 4 out of 5by Crookedcuc, 5 days agoI feel like the UI is not the best, but it does do the job. Please add webauth support like the chrome browsers have so I can use my security key to log in!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Re4mstr, 5 days agoBeen working for quite som time, but after the latest update, no longer works.
Please find other ways of storing passwords, cause Bitwarden is failing their users. - Rated 3 out of 5by Calcoon, 6 days agoNew version is broken obviously but calm down, just install the previous version.
open the main Add-On Page > scroll down to the bottom > Version History > click "See all versions" > install "Version 2026.7.0" by clicking "Download file" > install and log in - Rated 5 out of 5by Jone, 7 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 9996086, 7 days agoDo NOT update to version 2026.8.0
This latest release (2026.8.0, published August 20, 2026) is broken for many users. The extension opens to a completely blank white screen and becomes unusable. Vault does not load, login fails or hangs, and sync often throws Angular errors (including “Invalid time value”).
Multiple people on Edge, Chrome, and Firefox have reported the same issue. Downgrading to 2026.7.0 or earlier immediately fixes it.
Bitwarden seems more focused on pushing new monetization features (in-app upgrade checkout) than on basic stability. Please wait for a proper fix before updating. This version is currently unusable for a lot of people. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20113285, 7 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15665065, 7 days agoI hate to do this, but with the latest version breaking vaultwarden, I have to give it one star. Please fix this and I'll go back to the 4 stars that the extension normally deserves. For now, I installed an older one and blocked updates, but I'll check back in a few days.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Abejo, 8 days agoCada dos por tres deja de funcionar, por ejemplo en este momento tengo todo vacio, me toca volver a una versión anterior o esperar una actualización....
- Rated 1 out of 5by Yoan, 8 days agoLa connexion ne marche plus. J'arrive à l'étape où je dois renseigner le code TOPT, et une erreure survient.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 20112067, 8 days agoUX is terrible. Pick example from Enpass extension and desktop version, far more usable than this. Sometimes it doesn't synchronize, even logging in again.
- Rated 1 out of 5by martybee, 8 days agoBroke Vaultwarden compatibility :( Rolling back to an old version...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Henry van Megen, 8 days agoLatest version breaks self-hosted Vaultwarden.
Bitwarden devs, if you're reading this: If you made it so your docker implementation of the self-hosted variant would also only take a few megabytes of diskspace and 50-100 MB of RAM, then Vaultwarden didn't even have to exist in the first place!
Right now, the official Bitwarden self-hosted option is a bloated heap of garbage. - Rated 2 out of 5by K750i, 10 days agoIt's not as polished as other similar password managers' extension. Even newer ones like Proton Pass is miles better in UI and performance. Maybe it's better on Chrome but I don't use trash browsers based on Chromium.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17628249, 16 days agoWorks perfectly since years. Tip for those who have problems: Update your instance
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19671618, 16 days 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, 17 days agoUpgrading to vaultwarden 1.37.1 fixed the problem with extension
