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.

- Rated 1 out of 5by TRR, 18 hours agoI've used this for years but recently (Oct 2025) having the extension enabled is now making typing in text fields in Firefox slow down noticeably, like it'll often show 2 or 3 letters behind what I'm typing. Disabling the extension fixes the performance problems but then I can't use Bitwarden :(
- Rated 1 out of 5by kanuay, 2 days agoBitwarden v2025.10.0 causes stuttering in some JavaScript animations on my site. I tried adjusting various settings, but nothing helped. The only way to fix the issue is to disable or remove this extension.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Yaestro, 4 days agoSlows down YouTube even if autofill is disabled. Slowing down browsers (even Chrome) for over a year. Will try an alternative.
- Rated 1 out of 5by frxrnk, 5 days agoThe add-on has massive performance issues and slows down pages a lot, especially if they have many dynamic elements, which is now very common. It often causes freezes and sluggish animations/scrolling.
I was hoping it would stop the constant scanning for form fields on page changes by disabling "Show autofill suggestions in form fields", so it only does its scan when autofill is requested with the shortcut or from extension panel, but it made no difference.
Only excluding the domains worked, but then why have the add-on at that point. Disabling it significantly improved general navigation.
I hope they address the add-ons performance concerns soon, as they have one of the better products out there. - Rated 5 out of 5by iz, 7 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19528584, 12 days agoPoorly coded, booting the latest edition of firefox as of 2025/10/17 opens multiple copies of the app asking you to log in to your passwords, doesn't detect settings well, doesn't detect autofill in firefox is off and keeps asking to turn it off, pretty janky rubbish, I expect americans coded this

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 9999798, 24 days agoWas working great for years but now it doesn't want to auto-fill the ID and PW with almost all sites. I have a vault with about 100 sites. Very annoying to have to manually copy and paste the ID and PW. Tried various settings including turning off Firefox passwords features.

- Rated 3 out of 5by lrmr, a month agoWhat I find absolutely frustrating is the apparent lack of synchronization of access data across different devices. It either doesn’t happen at all or takes days to complete.
It’s really annoying to always have to log in to the web version just to access the most current and complete version of your login data.
A manual “Synchronize” button would be extremely helpful! - Rated 5 out of 5by danilo, a month ago
