by Firefox user 18747690, 10 months agoI used to consider this a 5-star product. The latest update has slowed response time, complicated the interface, and drastically reduced the number of logins that successfully autofill. The dropdown now takes up more screen space for no clear reason. The structure for use has been needlessly altered. After being trained by years of use to click on an entry to fill the login fields, that same action now opens the edit screen. It was a great product that did not need "improving". I will continue to use it, but it is no longer the fast, intuitive tool that it was. After more days of fighting with it, I am downgrading my rating. I am sick of "improvements" that drastically reduce product usability.
Response to the developer response since I cannot email:
Like most of the other commenters I have seen in blogs and other discussions, I have tried that. It does NOT address most of the glaring deficiencies of your "upgrade".
You had a quick, effective product. You have changed the basic user structure, a slap in the face of long-time users, and the new format is MORE difficult to use:
- small fill button in LARGE edit field (how often do you think a user needs to EDIT, rather than FILL a login screen?)
- the changed format above exactly opposite of the muscle memory trained by years as a user of your product
- loading ALL vault items instead of matching only (slower load and why do you think us users used folders and search???)
- larger screen footprint (your app is NOT my primary focus on the screen - it is a TOOL to support what is displayed on the rest of the screen)
It's simple. Respect your users or lose them.
I have moved back to an older version of Bitwarden which I will use until/unless I find another password manager. If you force me to upgrade, I will leave immediately.

posted 9 months agoHi. Mare sure you are on version 2024.12.4 or above, then check under Bitwarden Settings > Autofill > "Click items to autofill on Vault view" and Bitwarden Settings > Appearance > "Show quick copy actions on Vault" if you want to restore previous functionality that you may prefer.

- Rated 1 out of 5by frxrnk, 2 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, 4 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 9999798, 21 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
