Reviews for Bitwarden Password Manager
Bitwarden Password Manager by Bitwarden Inc.
Review by Firefox user 14128572
Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 14128572, 4 years agoI've had experience with Lastpass, 1Password, Keepass/KeepassXC, and Roboform, but Bitwarden is the best password manager I've ever used.
It's free and open source, which are very good qualities for software to have. It's very trustworthy because it's open source and it goes through security audits that happen every year. Those audits are shared with the public. It does a good job at autofilling credit card info and logins in web browsers and on Android. It's good at offering to save new usernames and passwords.
However, it has some noteworthy problems that I've listed below.
1. The UI of the browser extension and mobile app is not as organized and beautiful as it could be. It looks too cluttered in some places. The UI animations are just a little too slow sometimes when clicking certain things in the mobile app and browser extension, like when opening the folder menu or sync menu, and other menus.
2. There is no passkey support. You can't use a passkey to sign in to Bitwarden, and you can't create or save passkeys with Bitwarden (support for passkeys is coming soon, though).
3. Bitwarden does not have autofill popups near text fields like 1Password does. You have to click on the suggested item in the Bitwarden extension, or use a keyboard shortcut, if you want to autofill in a safe way.
4. Bitwarden does not feel as user-friendly as 1Password or KeepassXC, and a lot of that has to do with the UI of the browser extension and mobile app, I think. There's too many buttons and options visible at the same time in some menus.
5. The Bitwarden desktop app can't autofill/autotype the text fields of desktop apps on Windows.
6. The keyboard shortcuts are not configurable. I want to be able to change the "copy username" and "copy password" keyboard shortcuts.
7. Pressing Ctrl + W to close the Bitwarden desktop app window removes the tray icon on Windows, even though I enabled the "Close to tray icon" setting.
8. I can't sort my items. They're all sorted in alphabetical order. I want to be able to sort them by "date modified", "date created", and "recently used/last used".

- Rated 3 out of 5by LN, 2 days agoThe extension failed to save / update password from time to time, and just says "Oops, we couldn't save your password hehe." and forgot to let me to copy the latest password.
- Rated 5 out of 5by busloadmagenta, 6 days agoSimple and nice extension to an already great password manager. Works for me with no issues.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Subnet_Masked, 8 days agoNot sure what happened but I can't get it to fill basic auth anymore. Manually clicking autofill just errors too... Very frustrating
- Rated 3 out of 5by phlox, 12 days agoworks great, except for the passkey feature. I saved passkeys for different websites. When i want to login a popup with the passkey appears but nothing happens when i click on it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20155939, 20 days agoFunktioniert nur mit Registrierung. Ich lege doch für ein Add-On nicht noch ein Konto mit noch einem Passwort an! Die haben doch nmicht mehr alle Latten am Zaun!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Vexo413, 21 days agoWorked before, but then items in vault stopped appearing and doesn't auto fill, reinstalled and didn't work.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Lazarus, a month agoThe best password manager I have used to date. I wish it worked much better on Firefox for Android though. The autofill detection is very lackluster there.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Xandersoft, a month 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, a month ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Brice, a month 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, a month 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, a month 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, a month agoNew version is broken obviously but calm down, just install the previous version.
