Reviews for Bitwarden Password Manager
Bitwarden Password Manager by Bitwarden Inc.
Review by Dave Name
Rated 1 out of 5
by Dave Name, a year agoHard pass on this quirky, annoying, and badly-coded app.
For instance, if you have the audacity to scale up your display, then look out - the annoyance factor will be ramped up by a factor of 10.
The app doesn't play nice with display upscaling. It doesn't allow for scrolling (or rearranging) within itself to get to other saved websites - it has a popout feature to do so that itself functions badly. So if you utilize that function, and go to a saved website, the app can block the login info, rendering the whole exercise useless.
And getting the app to close (or not close, as the case may be) so you can get to your desktop when closing FF provides further annoyance that shouldn't be the case if it was properly coded.
I've only gotten this thing to actually work for ONE website (i.e., where it filled in the password automatically), and that was before that website disappeared in the app and I had to use the aforementioned popout feature...that blocked the website login page.
I could go on and on about the annoying quirks I've encountered with this thing (on Win 10 computer), but the main obvious problem is that it is badly coded/badly designed from an intuitive, common-sense perspective. It's as if the designers didn't even test out its features for functionality.
It is astounding to me that this thing has received any favorable reviews from the likes of folks who should know better, such as PC Mag.
If this is the best out there, then I'm glad I haven't come across the worst.

- Rated 5 out of 5by NickCool, 8 days agoIf you host Vaultwarden yourself and Bitwarden version 2026.7.0 broke your sync with Vault, you need to update Vaultwarden to at least version 1.36.0, preferably the latest.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18797053, 9 days agoFirefox extension 2026.7.0 stuck loading with Vaultwarden
After updating the Bitwarden Firefox extension to version 2026.7.0, the vault remains stuck on the loading placeholders and no items are displayed.
Going back to 2026.6.1 fixes it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13539882, 10 days agoTo those come here for a broken update: I updated vaultwarden to 1.37.0 and resynced it's working now.
- Rated 1 out of 5by potato, 10 days agoGo back to 2026.6.1 to get it working with self-hosted again. They broke it for firefox in 2026.7.0. The previous versions are here on the mozilla addons page under Version History > "See all versions" for Bitwarden. I'm not allowed to paste the url.
