by Exostenza, 2 months agoIt's a potentially good service with seemingly all the features you'd want in a service like this but they don't always work or are all even present. I find a lot of the time it either won't suggest to unlock the extension when clicking on a login or password field and even the fill in keyboard shortcuts don't work - its been too intermittent to tell if it is only some sites or just a randomly triggered bug. Also very annoying, when I click to fill in a login and password it'll prompt Windows Hello Fingerprint randomly in the background so I have to click on it on the taskbar instead of it showing up in the foreground all the time as it obviously should. I also bought it for the premium features while the Firefox extension doesn't even have the advertised anti-phishing feature yet which is one of the reasons I paid for premium. So, they are advertising features that aren't even available which I think is dishonest which doesn't inspire trust in the company and their practices - it is strange that the supposedly most secure browser seems to be the least supported.
The above poses instant issues when considering the service for tech illiterate people as these problems are deal breakers. I want to set this up for my boomer mother who has been successfully phished several times but the fingerprint in the background bug will definitely make her think it's not there and therefore not working. Also, the non-existent anti-phishing feature advertised for the premium edition literally takes away the reason I would consider paying for a premium account for her.
These are all, however, grievances that could be easily fixed with competent non LLM vibe coding done by a real human being which could easily bump my rating up a star or two and pay for premium for my boomer mother but for now Bitwardem is mediocre at best and I can't recommend paying for premium to anyone and even the free version's bugs may pose problems depending on your tech literacy.
Bitwarden devs: you're close but you have to fix these things before I can recommend the service.

- Rated 1 out of 5by RV, 2 days agoThe extension does not connect with the desktop app and im unable to use biometrics. Unnacceptable
- Rated 1 out of 5by Helena S., 2 days agoThis worked great in my firefox on windows. Until last week. Constantly pop ups saying it would slow down the browser. Of course, i dont know what the reason is. I have to deactivate it and then activate again to log in somewhere and then deactivate again, and its annoying and feels like i can´t trust it anymore.
I can see that others have the same problem recently.
Dear developers, do somehting or at least give a sign that you read our recent reviews. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15242125, 2 days agoDO NOT INSTALL Version 2026.5.0 !
Slows down webpages significantly. I suggest installing the older version, you can do that below the add-on page under the section "See all versions". - Rated 1 out of 5by TechnoM4tter, 2 days agoDO NOT INSTALL THIS VERSION!
Slows down webpages significantly for some reason. I suggest installing the older version, you can do that below the add-on page under the section "See all versions". - Rated 1 out of 5by DarkDante, 2 days agoCrashes my browser, terrible update! I can only use my browser if I disable the extension
- Rated 1 out of 5by Shike, 3 days agoThey've made changes to this that effectively make browsing certain sites painful - the extension consistently stops responding and slowing the browser down.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17874178, 4 days agoslows down or freezes the browser. regularly runs `querySelectorAll form, input:not([data-bwignore]):not([type="hidden"]):not([type="submit"]):not([type="reset"]):not([type="button"]):not([type="image"]):not([type="file"]):not([type="search"]):not([type="url"]):not([type="date"]):not([type="time"]):not([type="datetime"]):not([type="datetime-local"]):not([type="week"]):not([type="color"]):not([type="range"]), textarea:not([data-bwignore]), select:not([data-bwignore]), span[data-bwautofill]`
- Rated 1 out of 5by upveal4921, 4 days agonot recommended to install, slows down the whole browser constantly
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13512828, 5 days agoIf you have to log in to a third party website a plugin should be avoided at all costs.
You are the product. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16917969, 5 days agoA great extension, but recently the extension is showing massive performance issues, slowing down the browser to a halt. Specifically on Reddit for me, for some odd reason.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Shaun, 5 days agoLove this extension, been using it for years, but please for the love of all that is holy... Fix the massive performance issues...
The latest update 2026.5.0 is causing major issues and slowing down many sites and making the entire browser grind to a halt at times... this is unacceptable. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18166413, 5 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Ranindu Aryasinha, 7 days agoamazing extension. not 5 stars because of the autofill not working sometimes, other than that, it's amazing. Some good features are free logins across all devices, free payment plan, it doesn't blast you with upgrading. Highly recommend over other managers I've tried such as lastpass, nordpass, dashlane
- Rated 2 out of 5by Erik, 8 days agoIt used to work well, but within the last couple of days it became much slower. It now says Version 2026.5.0. It is still usable but slow enough to be really annoying.
