Bitwarden Password Manager by Bitwarden Inc.

by charles.ee, 8 years agoEdit: One huge plus in Bitwarden's favor is actually implementing 2fa in a way that makes sense. If you want to use a Yubikey, but then fall back to Google Authenticator, you can. Unlike Lastpass, where it's one or the other, something almost none of the other services I use 2fa with seem to restrict.
I'm giving Bitwarden a try as Lastpass drops the ball on Firefox support.
It's very clean, and quick. Parts of the interface are clunky (when you edit/save a new login, the giant green bar indicating that YAY YOU SAVED covers up ALL the useful buttons in the interface and doesn't time out nearly quickly enough, forcing you to click the X even to perform a simple task that shouldn't involve the notification.)
It's not quite as good at detecting login pages and offering to save logins as Lastpass. If you ever need to toggle away to, let's say, copy a Authenticator code the extension completely closes and you have to re-type everything, even if you were in the middle of adding a new login. So even if you're only half-done, make sure to save even if your new entry is incomplete.
It seems to especially fail to capture new logins if you have two-factor authentication enabled for your accounts (which really, you should, right?)
It would be nice to create a folder/category for your login in the very same screen that you create a new login. It's clunky to create a login, then toggle over to settings, create a folder, then toggle back over to your vault, and finally assign the login a folder.
The extensions don't sync automatically, or don't sync very often. Which means changes in your vault or in another browser don't sync until you manually click a button. That's an extra step that seems unnecessary.
That said, I went ahead and paid for Premium even if I don't plan on switching away from Lastpass. It seems like there's a lot of room to focus on exactly what used to make Lastpass great, before it started to get bogged down in sluggish UI and doubled in price without any real increase to functionality.

- Rated 2 out of 5by FF user 17083219, 4 days agorecent updates have broken the extension on firefox, console on websites shows 'Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.' (void chrome.runtime.sendMessage({ command: "triggerAutofillScriptInjection" });)
additionally, it always asks me to "update" my passwords after signing into any website (multiple times), even though they are up-to-date.
Clearly the firefox extension is an afterthought and bugs aren't adressed, since this has been an ongoing issue, in addition to negatively affecting browser performance during typing in input fields, likely caused by the bugs mentioned. - Rated 5 out of 5by Filoni, 4 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14082068, 9 days agoFirefox 115.30.0 esr, versions above 2025.10.0 doesn't work anymore.
p.s. good job with recent ui update tho, addon became faster and bit more easier to use uxwise. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14555910, 9 days agoРасширение перестало работать в Firefox после обновления. Не открывается вообще.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12966996, 10 days agoRecently, the prompt to update your password has been annoying, even though you haven't changed your password. This happens especially when you use 2FA via Bitwarden. Apparently, the extension thinks you have entered a new password.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Fjodor, 14 days agoIch habe das Gefühl, den Entwicklern ist das Programm scheißegal! Seit Wochen extrem fehlerhaft!
Beschissener Support!!!!!!!!!! - Rated 3 out of 5by Expmodo, 14 days agoДо сих пор не починили проблему с замедлением набора текста в браузере.
Точнее то она есть, то перезапускаешь браузер - её нет. Непонятно как работает.
\\ The problem with slow typing in the browser has not yet been fixed.
More precisely, sometimes it's there, and then you restart the browser and it's gone. It's unclear how it works. - Rated 2 out of 5by JH, 14 days ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19609497, 14 days agoBeen using this for years. Biggest complaint is passkeys integration isn't very intuitive, and there is not an easy way to see which accounts are associated with a passkey. Passkeys is also paywalled. The security reports that come with premium seem to be only available logging into your vault from their website and not from apps or browser extensions. Overall, solid for passwords and premium is a very reasonable price.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Mike, 17 days agoGreat extension - but the firefox and other version broke with the November 2025 update.
Here's the error, using 'chrome' in the javascript as a direct reference.
/******/ (function() { // webpackBootstrap
/**
* This script handles injection of the FIDO2 override page script into the document.
* This is required for manifest v2, but will be removed when we migrate fully to manifest v3.
*/
(function (globalContext) {
if (globalContext.document.contentType !== "text/html") {
return;
}
const script = globalContext.document.createElement("script");
script.src = chrome.runtime.getURL("content/fido2-page-script.js"); - Rated 5 out of 5by eboye, 17 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by ChristophK, 17 days agoPasskey support in Firefox is broken, which locked me out of my accounts. This is a known bug that does not seem to trigger much response or an emergency update, which does not inspire great confidence :(
- Rated 3 out of 5by BeWog, 17 days agoAutofill feature does not work as well since the lastest updates.
- Rated 1 out of 5by lifeofguenter, 18 days agoIn version 2025.11.1 Passkey stopped working with MacOS.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Andre1ch, 19 days agoI noticed the browser was starting to slow down significantly. Through a process of elimination, I concluded it was due to this add-on. Rolling back to version 2025.6.1 solved the problem.

- Rated 1 out of 5by AshCozey, 20 days agoUnlock with biometrics has been broken in some way or another for around a year, but only on Firefox of course, currently it just doesn't do anything, the option is grayed out no matter what you do.
Any Chromium based browsers somehow work just fine though 🙄
