- Rated 1 out of 5by Symphonix, a year agoI’ve been using Bitwarden for about 10 years, and I’m on the paid plan. I’ve always recommended it over the competition—especially after switching from LastPass following their security issues. I chose Bitwarden because it’s open-source, more secure, and had a clean, user-friendly interface. But the latest changes this week are absolutely terrible.
The new “Fill” button is a disaster. Clicking the row used to autofill—quick and simple. Now, you have to click a tiny “fill” button, and clicking the row just opens the view screen. Bring back the old behavior.
Why are the individual copy buttons hidden behind a sub-menu? There’s plenty of room to keep them visible. This is just unnecessary extra clicks.
Finding Identity and Credit Card info is now a nightmare. Before, I could scroll straight to them. Now it’s buried behind endless password lists, and I have to use a dropdown just to autofill or copy them.
2FA codes are harder to access too. I use Bitwarden for 2FA, and the new layout makes it slower and more frustrating to find and use them.
Overall, too many good features have been removed or buried. Tasks that used to take one click now take multiple steps. It’s a massive downgrade in usability.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Either bring back the old UI or I’m out.Developer response

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 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17579105, a year agoit's always been great, but the latest UI refresh I consider a huge step backwards. there are now additional steps needed to fill password fields and copy passwords. broken workflow

But the UX is even worse, that fill button was a horrendous idea and never should have made it into the release whatsoever.
It can be fixed, but the question is will it? Make the text either black or white, get rid of the fill button, make the dedicated copy username/password buttons default, and then it is significantly better.Developer response

This is especially irritating because the previous UI would only show relevant logins for the webpage you were on. I relied on this functionality to easily scroll through logins for websites with many vault items. Please either allow an option to re-enable the 5th tab or permanently collapse the All Items section.
- Rated 1 out of 5by nowandthen, a year agoHate the new user interface. Too confusing. Manual copy of password and paste now requires additional selections. The old interface was much easier to understand and use.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13523419, a year 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 1 out of 5by Markus753, a year agoNot only the new update introduced a lot of bugs but after asking for assistance from the Bitwarden team (as a paying customer), they just ignored me and deleted my questions on their subreddit because "they already solved it" even though I still do not have access to all my passwords. Be warned about this company
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17332969, a year agoThe new version is awful. It cannot even generate a password. When I change the options, new passwords are not generated according to the new settings.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16018047, a year agoAwful update. Ended up deleting and resorting to a previous version. Most recent update takes more clicks to autofill. Previously when I just needed the password it was one click. Now I have to hunt to find where to copy password. Where did the stored credit card and other data go? Just horrible. Please fix!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Tommy2Times, a year agoVault tab is immediately horrible to look at and use when compared to the perfect simplicity of the old design. Such an unfortunate change.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18752077, a year agoRidiculous bad UI update. Reversed to prev version 2024.11.2

- Rated 3 out of 5by Tomek , a year 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 2 out of 5by Pheurum, a year agoHow is it possible that someone thought the new design was a good idea? Completely ridiculous redesign! There was no need at all
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18611891, a year agoEDIT: I suddenly got it to work by checking the "Require verification for browser integration" setting, setting up Biometrics in the Firefox extension, and then after logging in, unchecking the setting again. Now it works every time. Weird why this was necessary.
Sadly, the Fingerprint reading feature stopped working. It just says "Unable to set up biometrics
Action was canceled by the desktop
application", but the Desktop version is the latest, and it actually prompts me for a fingerprint scan. I don't know why this stopped working, but this was the one feature that was making Bitwarden worth it for me. - Rated 3 out of 5by vinifurt, a year 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.

Too many clicks to achieve what was already fine.

Before all common tasks were to 1-2 clicks away, now are 3-6 clicks away. Is it needed to break the usability?

It became much better with the options "Click items to autofill on Vault view" and "Show quick copy actions on Vault".
I rerate back to 5 stars. Bitwarden is the best password manager.Developer response

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.
