Reviews for Bitwarden Password Manager
Bitwarden Password Manager by Bitwarden Inc.
Review by Katharta
Rated 1 out of 5
by Katharta, a year agoThe new update is simply horrible. Text is hilariously large for no reason. Edit button was moved. Fill button instead of just clicking the thing. Actions that used to take 1 or 2 clicks take annoyingly longer to do now. Change just for the sake of it is bad. How could this possibly have went through testing/feedback before it got pushed to users?
Edit: Thanks for your reply I guess, but I shouldn't have to go out of my way to undo poor UX changes. Why wasn't the new thing an option instead of a forced default? Why can't I make the MFA buttons everywhere go away? While I appreciate the feature, I will never use it to avoid keeping all my eggs in the same basket, so they're nothing but distracting UI clutter for me. The unnecessarily enlarged font makes things a lot easier to shoulder surf and a lot harder to read. I'm not normally one to complain but these recent changes are incredibly unwelcome.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ebayybe, 8 days agoSwitched to Bitwarden and haven't regretted it for a second. The extension works like a charm in Firefox: autofill is instant, and the interface is clean and user-friendly. A huge plus for being open-source — it really builds trust in terms of security. Highly recommended!
- Rated 5 out of 5by uudrs, 9 days agoBeen using BW for couple years now, best decision ever to switch from built-in browser password manager to a dedicated one.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Andrea-FF19967159, 11 days agoI currently have BW v.2026.5.1 in Firefox, and I don’t see any slowness. Even with v.2026.5.0 and v.2026.4.0, I didn’t have any problems with sites/logins. The only noticeable bug was on the saving of autofill settings, which was fixed in v.2026.5.0.
Disclaimer: I’m a developer, and I use very powerful PCs.
If other people are still complaining, it may be one (or more!) of the following things:
- They have a slow or very low-end PC
- They have a compromised PC
- They use some particular, specific sites, e.g., Reddit (?) (I don’t use it, so I can’t tell), which may still be problematic with BW - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15074769, 11 days agoBitwarden extension has been a total nightmare in Firefox for a while now with no fix in sight.
Freezing webpages, crashing tabs etc. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14968709, 12 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by RV, 16 days agoThe extension does not connect with the desktop app and im unable to use biometrics. Unnacceptable
- Rated 1 out of 5by Helena S., 16 days agoThis worked great in my firefox on windows. Until last week. Constantly pop ups saying it would slow down the browser. Of course, i dont know what the reason is. I have to deactivate it and then activate again to log in somewhere and then deactivate again, and its annoying and feels like i can´t trust it anymore.
I can see that others have the same problem recently.
Dear developers, do somehting or at least give a sign that you read our recent reviews. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15242125, 16 days agoDO NOT INSTALL Version 2026.5.0 !
Slows down webpages significantly. I suggest installing the older version, you can do that below the add-on page under the section "See all versions". - Rated 1 out of 5by TechnoM4tter, 16 days agoDO NOT INSTALL THIS VERSION!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Shike, 17 days agoThey've made changes to this that effectively make browsing certain sites painful - the extension consistently stops responding and slowing the browser down.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17874178, 18 days agoslows down or freezes the browser. regularly runs `querySelectorAll form, input:not([data-bwignore]):not([type="hidden"]):not([type="submit"]):not([type="reset"]):not([type="button"]):not([type="image"]):not([type="file"]):not([type="search"]):not([type="url"]):not([type="date"]):not([type="time"]):not([type="datetime"]):not([type="datetime-local"]):not([type="week"]):not([type="color"]):not([type="range"]), textarea:not([data-bwignore]), select:not([data-bwignore]), span[data-bwautofill]`
- Rated 1 out of 5by upveal4921, 18 days agonot recommended to install, slows down the whole browser constantly
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13512828, 18 days agoIf you have to log in to a third party website a plugin should be avoided at all costs.
You are the product. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16917969, 18 days agoA great extension, but recently the extension is showing massive performance issues, slowing down the browser to a halt. Specifically on Reddit for me, for some odd reason.
