Bitwarden is good but the firefox extension has trouble establishing connection with the desktop app.

Up until recent update, everything worked so well. Now whenever I try to open the addon on my side panel, it just disappears before I even get access to my login information

Makes firefox unusable with memory leak.

Causes the browser to lag

This is actually a very good password manager for those at the home, professional, enterprise and developer levels - even with open-source code.

This is also a very effective tool and extension and perfect for parental controls, passkey creation, password management, encryption, VPNs, etc.

As a superadapted Autistic person that already suffered a lot of obstacles on their online career for the past decade - this extension is actually a very well-made and designed extension - and I'd love to see open-source software to start evolving and maturing over time.

And your cross-platform compatibility makes it easier for people to add your extension - as I already use a bunch of popular Firefox extensions myself - like uBlock Origin, Chrome Masker, Privacy Badger, DuckDuckGo Essential Protections and so on.

Your team's extreme levels of honesty and passion were the main factors and reasons to why that I have gotten very deep onto security over the past decade or so - thus making it easier for a average smarter Autistic person to understand - which I am one of those people.

If you have an IQ of 120 or higher - your main signs and symptoms of Autism - like hyperfocus, superadaptation and hypersensitivity would become more noticeable once you get older, but they get more manageable with time.

Your security company is one of the few companies that actually care about password management, hashing and encryption - and your massive researcher and hacking community made it to become a reality - and to be precise on my point of view - philosophically, ethically, mentally, socially, physically and sociologically - this company has some of the best features for cybersecurity.

And I would love to use this extension and to encourage others to use this extension too.

And please make a similar review if you have similar opinions to mine - and let's continue spreading positivity all across the Firefox community to promote open sourcing for all.

And please reach me out to me if you want to talk to me on my extensive analysis on other popular extensions.

It has some flaws to it, sure - but dear Bitwarden devs - please fix some of the bugs that people are experiencing on your bug bounty hunting programs and your extension in general.

If you guys are able to do it for the next updates, thank you.

And good luck on your journey, Bitwarden!

I'am using BW(free) over 3 years
EXCELLENT addon, no problems:)

this BW add-on had slowed down a little recently from a few months, but now it has been about a week and it launches and performs smoother than ever! Fav password manager forever 💯💯💯

Excellent password manager. Much better since the last update. The latency issue has disappeared. There is a little issue with the search field which does not get empty after cliking on a search result.

Importing passwords from my default password manager into bitwarden was a nightmare. After it was activated, the login details on sites like google were not filling in, making this add-on absolutely unusable in both chrome and firefox.

I couldn't get biometric unlock to work on Windows 11. Otherwise it's a great extension.

It's a potentially good service with seemingly all the features you'd want in a service like this but they don't always work or are all even present. I find a lot of the time it either won't suggest to unlock the extension when clicking on a login or password field and even the fill in keyboard shortcuts don't work - its been too intermittent to tell if it is only some sites or just a randomly triggered bug. Also very annoying, when I click to fill in a login and password it'll prompt Windows Hello Fingerprint randomly in the background so I have to click on it on the taskbar instead of it showing up in the foreground all the time as it obviously should. I also bought it for the premium features while the Firefox extension doesn't even have the advertised anti-phishing feature yet which is one of the reasons I paid for premium. So, they are advertising features that aren't even available which I think is dishonest which doesn't inspire trust in the company and their practices - it is strange that the supposedly most secure browser seems to be the least supported.

The above poses instant issues when considering the service for tech illiterate people as these problems are deal breakers. I want to set this up for my boomer mother who has been successfully phished several times but the fingerprint in the background bug will definitely make her think it's not there and therefore not working. Also, the non-existent anti-phishing feature advertised for the premium edition literally takes away the reason I would consider paying for a premium account for her.

These are all, however, grievances that could be easily fixed with competent non LLM vibe coding done by a real human being which could easily bump my rating up a star or two and pay for premium for my boomer mother but for now Bitwardem is mediocre at best and I can't recommend paying for premium to anyone and even the free version's bugs may pose problems depending on your tech literacy.

Bitwarden devs: you're close but you have to fix these things before I can recommend the service.

Great product, but they (or FF) broke the dropdown password selector in a recent (last few days) update. Now it always says: "No items to show".

Garbage constantly failing, printing cryptic error messages, not taking my pw, not taking my 2FA, reinstalled, works for a few then same crap.

Just garbage, avoid if you can.
