  Great when it does not updated

  I read review about browser extension issue. Same thing happened to me when Safari or Bitwarden got updated - broser extension dissappeared. I followed the other reviewser's suggestion to uninstalled by third party uninstaller to purge all junk files, and re-installed from App Store. Still no luck for browser extension. What you need to do is "start your Windows in safe mode by pressing and holding the Shift key as your Windows starts up. Turn on any Safari extensions that you want to use, then restart your Windows normally." I've got it back. I am not sure the reason for this issue is on Safari update or Bitwarden update or could be both. When it works, this is great passwords manager.

  Bug, probably

  Recently, I been having problems with Bitwarden. The hotkey to auto-fill webpages no longer works, I check to see what other apps or extensions use that hotkey, and none do. Currently on a Windows. Also, if you autofill one website, and if you go to a new tab to fill out another one. If you right click on the field to autofill, it will show autofill but for the previous tab. For example, say I autofill my PayPal account on the first tab, and I go to my Mint account on another tab, if I right click on the autofill option on the password box for my mint account, it will show autofill but for PayPal. This is solved by clicking on the bitwarden Icon on the extension bar. And it will autofill correctly. But this is a bummer. I loved using the hotkey to autofill and if that didn't work, I would right click and autofill, but these are no longer viable. Maybe it was the update for Windows, or maybe it was an update by Bitwarden. Please Fix.

  Annoyances

  This is a painful review because Bitwarden is the password manager I want to love, but (after three years using it) can no longer tolerate. Not withstanding the Safari extension was broken for months loosing authentication then crashing Safari, which is disappointing for a free app, and unacceptable for a paid app, daily use has become a drag specially doing password maintenance. Bitwarden app for PC * The Safari extension is slow (two seconds to open) even on the latest Windows hardware. * Cannot empty trash. You must delete items in the trash one at a time. * Cannot drag-and-drop items into folders. You must open the item, click edit, choose the folder, then click save. Same issue on the website. * Save resets your position on the list forcing to scroll to the next item after saving. Save item also deselects checked items forcing to start over. * Cannot export individual items or folders. You must export the entire vault. iOS In Safari you cannot change passwords requiring to launch the standalone app. The same goes with missing or outdated credentials as it goes out-of-sync with PC. That said, as a Lastpass expat you are better off using Bitwarden if a cross-platform password store is a must. I have moved my passwords back to Keychain and only use Bitwarden for secret notes.

  best password mgr to date.

  been using this since it was relased. 2fa (with 10 dollar year) it supports most standards including Windows easy support i contacted once and get same day response been using for many years since it was first relased /open source never a single issue Needs more alert features. I’d like to be alerted each time someone signs into my account and from where (yes i know there are proxy servers) but i like just seeing a history of logins. I’d like to see it on their site too. A list with Ips and locations. More biometric support for 3fa. Let’s face it 2fa is ok, but it can also be hackedit’s been done by several goverments now. 3fa becomes extremely difficult because you really need to know/have something personal. biometrics have a minimal extra cost since most phones have it, many computers do and you don’t need to remmeber it. Putthing this togehter, it’s going to be hard for someone to fab something i have, know, am and where i am and when. I ‘m hoping more of this rolls in to the tool. I know it’s a lot ot ask though and it will take folks a while to want to adopt it anyway This IS a great product

  Excellent PW Manager

  I used 1Password for many years but started looking around for a new app when 1PW switched to a subscription model. I came across Bitwarden and never looked back. It has served me faithfully for the past 18 months and has given me very little trouble. I pay the $10 fee that adds just about every feature that 1PW provides and for way less money. My one question to BW tech support was answered in short order. I like that I can install a subset of my main vault on my wife's PC, iPad and iPhone and keep it synced automatically when I make a change to the main vault. It also resides on my Windows, iPad and iPhone. You can't beat the functionality especially for the price.
