- Rated 3 out of 5by Alex, 7 months agoThe latest UI changes are a serious step backwards, and seem to be in the category of "Change for the sake of change". Logically, the number one thing a user does when opening the extension is auto-fill a login - so why is that function relegated to a tiny button and clicking anywhere else opens the saved information, without even a further button to autofill from that point? It's very counterproductive and frustrating.
- Rated 3 out of 5by JC, 7 months agoUsed to be 5-stars. They updated the UX/UI and to fill a password, you have to click a small "Fill" button. This makes using the extension more tedious and difficult than it needs to be.
Compare this to the old version where you could click anywhere on the item - a major downgrade for the sake of "updating the UI".Developer response
posted 6 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 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18753713, 7 months agoThe new UI makes using this good program much more difficult to use. It even affects being able to login to some sites. Sometimes "progress" is actually a step far backwards. Please go back to the prior UI.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13523419, 7 months agoGreat product plagued by another unneeded, useless, and counterproductive update. Why do dev teams do this? Are you just trying to justify your salaries? I actually like the new look, but what is the purpose of changing the behavior of user interactions? Before, if I clicked on an item I had searched in the extension, it would fill it on the onscreen form. Now, it opens the details. ??? Why is this expected or useful behavior ???
- Rated 3 out of 5by Tomek , 7 months agoWas great till last update. Look and feel is just uncomfortable now. Especially display all items in main tab. This is some kind of misunderstanding. I want ONLY the login and password for the current site there and not all of them! Please hide it. Did anyone complain about the previous design? no! and now everyone is complaining about the new design. Don't fix something that isn't broken! "fill" button? really?
- Rated 3 out of 5by vinifurt, 7 months agoI love this addon and the service provided but the new UI is pretty bad. Now it takes a couple more buttons just to do the same thing.

Update : Kudos to Bitwarden for listening to the users and making some of the UI changes reversible. I *still* feel like the extension (and the app) are more visually cluttered and less performant, but it's back to "good enough" at least. - Rated 3 out of 5by Jeff, 7 months ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18749995, 7 months agoUpdate 2025.01.21: Updating review to 3/5 starts. There is now a setting to restore clicking on the item to fill. Updating review to 3/5 stars as only time will tell if the developer has learned to communicate out major, workflow breaking changes before they make them but things seem like they may be headed in the correct direction for now.
The latest update to the extension added a ton of complexity and clicks to what should be simple password management and form filling. I guess unless this gets fixed I will be canceling my annual subscription renewal and would encourage anyone else to do so as well since money talk.sDeveloper response

It used to have a separated link/button for user or password copy and now there is a inline menu to show which one you need to copy. It is one more click needed against the claimed user experience update.
- Rated 3 out of 5by AlHanley, 7 months agoFantastic features and functionality but the new UI is awful. I'll change my rating to 5 stars once they fix it or revert it.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16392067, 7 months agoFor the most part it's great, but I can't give 5 stars when they take a great UI and change it up and make it look like it's from 2008.
- Rated 3 out of 5by apiontek, 7 months agoI love Bitwarden BUT how many dang times do I need to re-login and re-set an unlock PIN etc? It seems like every time the extension gets updated or something I have to re-setup half my settings. What gives??
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18747589, 7 months agoVery good password manager, but the new UI sucks and I had to downgrade. I have to find a small button before filling and why making the filling elements and all my passwords in one place?

However new round design is still shit
Dislike the new design and UX. Why do I have to find Fill button to just fill with selected credentials instead of simply clicking on whole element? Why do I have to make one more click to copy password or username?
Username is less contrast than before. Letters are a lot less readable.
So many more terrible UI and UX decisions made.
Enshittification is real.Developer response

L'ajout du bouton "remplir" est inutile et surcharge l'interface, j'enlève 2 étoiles pour la nouvelle apparence, sauf si je peux revenir à l'ancienne ?

- Rated 3 out of 5by ArtX, 8 months agoThis new passphrase generator that only lets you generate 6 words or more is absolutely dreadful. They've said it's by design, so now I'm questioning whether or not to keep it. Half the sites we use won't accept a passphrase that long, so it's very difficult to manually shorten each password.

- Rated 3 out of 5by S.H, 8 months agoHave started using today. While password generation is consistently doable not like the Firefox built-in, theres way too many disgusting inconveniences, such as:
1: When updating password and the old one is required, it overwrites either the old or new one, so I have to copy/paste either one
2: (Particularly) when deleting password a confirmation pop-up always appears, though its not a permanent deletion (it only sends to Trash folder)
3: When re-generating password by pressing the recycle button, the method pop-up always appears though its already set (Takes extra time for 0 reason)
4: Shows passwords in Trash folder as an autofill option
5: Cant hover folders
6: When trying to edit passwords, I have to press twice: View then Edit. Bothering
Literally overrated. Looking for replacement
Update: After using a few days I began to feel like its not that bad. Customizable password generation and being able to use folders (Firefox cant) is at least neat. - Rated 3 out of 5by Yoan, 9 months agoL'extension est globalement bien, et on a tout un panel de paramètres très sympa. Il y a cependant une grosse fuite de mémoire soit sur les requêtes XHR, soit sur les liens affichés.
La RAM sollicitée est monté à 21Go chez moi et d'autres collègues sur un même tableau avec des centaines de liens et de requêtes XHR en arrière plan.
Sans l'extension, pas de problème de RAM - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14946470, 9 months agoIts good if you pay for it, reports function is very handy.
Actual password autofill function is far behind firefoxes own manager.
cant detect extension logins, so wont save, and wont autofill etc - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17467820, 9 months agoNew versions don't support autofill. This used to be foolproof, but now it's always copy/paste for almost EVERY login. Huge inconvenience that shouldn't happen. Used to be so much better...
