New UI is garbage, especially compared to the old one.

The new UI that was introduced at the end of 2024 is unfortunately, a downgrade. Previously, clicking the entire rectangle of a Vault entry, would autofill on the page. Now, clicking the rectangle opens the "edit" section. And now we need to click a tiny "Fill" button instead. This seems...backwards? The thing you are doing most often is wanting to fill/autofill. Editing is not the typical action, almost certainly. Why not give us an option to reverse this? Make "fill" be the thing that happens when you click anywhere on an entry, and make a tiny button that says "edit" - like how it used to be. Other than that, I don't have any real complaints about the UI changes - but it's a pretty major one.

Password autofill doesn't work on some sites... For example, enter login: testtt1234 and click "Next" on the site: login.ingbank.pl

In the older addon version (2024.9.1) everything works fine.

I've used this add-on for many years on both desktop and android, but the recent UI changes have made it so much worse. The android FF version just no longer works for me, any attempt to go into settings is a one-way trip needing a Firefox close-reopen to restore the browser. The auto-fill functions just don't work any more, no matter what I do with my tablet settings, and there are just too many possible combinations of BW and android settings, I can't keep track of what I've tried. It should not be so hard. Based on my previous experience I was going to have my elderly family members use it, but I can no longer recommend it - it's just about unusable. I have to reosrt to using the separate android app.

Seit dem Update funktioniert das biometrische Entsperren der Firefox Erweiterung nicht mehr. Habe mehrfach versucht, sowohl Browser Add on als auch Desktopversion neu zu installieren, inkl. Löschen von Chronik und Firefoxspeicher. Nach Neuinstallation wird eine Fehlermeldung im Desktopprogramm angezeigt, dass ich nicht die aktuelle Add on Version habe. Es gibt nur eine Erweiterung im Add on store und ich hoffe, dass ich dort immer die aktuellste Version sehe. Die Einstellungen in der Desktopversion sind wie immer auf Biometrie eingestellt.

Since the update, the biometric unlocking of the Firefox extension no longer works. I have tried several times to reinstall both the browser add-on and the desktop version, including deleting the history and Firefox memory. After reinstallation, an error message is displayed in the desktop program that I do not have the current add on version. There is only one extension in the add on store and I hope that I always see the latest version there. The settings in the desktop version are set to biometrics as usual.

The new UI is slow and laggy, take more steps to fill the password. Definitely less convenient than the old one.
Furthermore, those awkward R angles does not match Firefox at all.

New UI takes more clicks; more copy pastes, more scrolls to get anything done

Used Bitwarden for years and it was my favorite password manager but the latest UI update is unbearable. I gave myself some time to get used to it and relearn the new user interface but I'm now searching for a new password manager

- more websites are failing to auto fill both passwords and credit cards
- you have to enable a setting in order to be able to easily fill passwords in an app focused on enabling passwords
- compact mode takes more space than normal mode used to resulting in more scrolling
- copying credit card info manually takes at least 6 more clicks because of how you need to filter types
- They changed selecting an item to view details instead of fill a password (they added a setting to change this - but if you enable it you are unable to easily edit items because you have to then click on a menu, click on a dropdown item to view the item, then click on edit to access edit)
- editing information takes more clicks than it used to

Love Bitwarden simply because it adds an extra layer of protection to all of my devices. It gives me peace of mind knowing Bitwarden is storing my sensitive info, passwords, and passkeys securely in an encrypted vault. Being able to sync passwords across all of my devices with Bitwarden is a nice bonus as well. I 100% recommend Bitwarden.

Ich nutze diesen Passwortmanager nun schon länger und bin zufrieden. Die Erweiterung ist nicht ganz so gut gelungen, wie die App, da sie auf dem Computer oft lange lädt und keine Biometrie unterstützt. Jedoch nutze ich das automatische Hinzufügen von Login-Daten.

It used to work so well but recent update broke my premium feature. Not the OTPT don't work. I have to install older version for it to work. I created a ticket with them but they don't know if it will ever get fixed.

Seriously the developers just need to spend some time seeing how nice 1Password works and looks, and then try to make Bitwarden suck 100x less.

Edit: Thanks to Bitwarden for the response which has resolved one of my issues, partially, because this is not the default and the settings state is not replicated everywhere I have to set this setting in every browser and every account (so work and personal, all browsers). My issue about the cursor not starting in the search box seems to have been fixed/added so that's great, now there's just the UX decision to combine the password/username into a dropdown as a complaint.

The recent update to the addon has introduced a huge UX degredation, instead of a single click to get the password to fill in a desktop application login prompt you now have to hit the smaller copy button and then accurately hit the copy password from the selection box options.

Also, the cursor doesn't automatically start in the search box after authentication anymore, this is really annoying as it forces me to every morning log in and then with the mouse select the search box so that I can get to my email password entry, so that I can then have to select the copy button where I then have to now select the copy password so that I can log into my email because my corporate email account times out authentication after 12 hours (and sometimes, for some reason, multiple times per day).

Also, you now have to hit the small fill button instead of the whole item to get the browser to fill in the details. This is a reverse of what you used to have to do as now clicking the item results in the screen to view the information in the item where you can edit from. I use this far less than I use filling the details so I find this also a big step backwards in UX and looking at the recent reviews it seems clear that they have introduced a lot of UX friction that users are not happy with.

Bitwarden was my favorite piece of tech for the past few years. The browser plugin redesign ruined it.

It looks shinier, but everything about it is worse. It is slower to load, more cumbersome to navigate, less efficient at showing info (giant text, buttons, headers, fluff), and buggy.

The classic UI was nearly perfect, so I'm sad and frustrated that this daily-use tool is suddenly so much worse.

Bitwarden is great and free, however if devs could look into the constant password generation happening in background, we don't need to have a generated password every 5sec permanently while we don't use the app, make no sense and extra calculation for nothing, also make it extremely harder to find recently generated ones we accidently lost from clipboard

Great password manager; its not the prettiest but its feature packed and almost all the times just works
