It's really slow and bloated. If you're thinking this Bitwarden browser extension is just for viewing, copying, or filling out passwords on website login forms, think again.

The UI could be a bit better.

Franchement très en dessous de la concurrence. L'application et l'extension ont besoin d'une interface plus moderne, et qui fonctionne sur tout les sites. Je déconseille ce gestionnaire de mot de passe.

Even with the current growing pains it is worth it to use. It has become a necessity to use a PW manager, and I believe it is not realistic for the layman or average user (I count myself here from several perspectives) to self-host/implement/configure encryption or critical security systems where a mistake ends your life.

BW is priced quite fairly and works most of the time. I recognize of course that they (probably) cannot make everyone happy; the subreddit is filled with complaints about the aged interface, and when the rework comes, it is then filled with the complaints of the change-averse. And on and on.

The primary frustration for me is on Android. For whatever reason, mainstream Android itself creates a labyrinth of permissions, 'battery management,' other switches, and lack of root that have lead to a platform in which Bitwarden is not 100% reliable to execute all its functions with the authority required. For me (no root), even unleashing the app and handing it 'accessibility' daemon persistence doesn't make it whole.

There are some sites/situations where Bitwarden will not be called up when you face a login. More and more sites lately do not reveal a text field for password input until a username or email is entered and passed to the server. Login challenges inside of many apps (outside web browser) are often simply not recognized. When this is combined with the fact that devs, including Mozilla, typically make no provisions for users to set and use hotkeys on mobile devices, you may find yourself with an interrupted workflow, flicking and typing through menus to access your needed credentials to copy-paste on the site or app. It feels really bad when encountered, but I don't believe the situation is Bitwarden's fault.

On a computer, I would press alt-z to *force* bitwarden to paste credentials, or alt-a to instantly access the vault sidebar with a list of all logins for the current page, but I have not found a way to do something like this yet on my mobile (even though AnySoft keyboard, for example, allows the use of functions like Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v, Ctrl-a)

Here are all the things currently wrong with the firefox plugin as of may 2025.
1. search box is no longer in focus when you open the plugin
2. the clear (x) button is missing from the search box now
3. you can't select text in the url field of an entry with the mouse.
4. the totp copy button is lit up for every entry even if they don't have a code stored.

While I love Bitwarden, the FF Extension Version: 2025.4.0 SDK: 'main (50f5a17)', Server version: 2025.5.1 no longer defaults focus to the search box on clicking the extension. I see the Chrome extension now defaults to the search box. Please make the FF extension also default to the search box.

Passkey support is amazing! The only negative aspect of Bitwarden is the inability to export the full database, including attachments. Current export function is only for a portion of the data.

On Firefox mobile, it doesnt Show Entries of passwords etc.
