New UI takes more clicks; more copy pastes, more scrolls to get anything done

Used Bitwarden for years and it was my favorite password manager but the latest UI update is unbearable. I gave myself some time to get used to it and relearn the new user interface but I'm now searching for a new password manager

- more websites are failing to auto fill both passwords and credit cards
- you have to enable a setting in order to be able to easily fill passwords in an app focused on enabling passwords
- compact mode takes more space than normal mode used to resulting in more scrolling
- copying credit card info manually takes at least 6 more clicks because of how you need to filter types
- They changed selecting an item to view details instead of fill a password (they added a setting to change this - but if you enable it you are unable to easily edit items because you have to then click on a menu, click on a dropdown item to view the item, then click on edit to access edit)
- editing information takes more clicks than it used to

Love Bitwarden simply because it adds an extra layer of protection to all of my devices. It gives me peace of mind knowing Bitwarden is storing my sensitive info, passwords, and passkeys securely in an encrypted vault. Being able to sync passwords across all of my devices with Bitwarden is a nice bonus as well. I 100% recommend Bitwarden.

Ich nutze diesen Passwortmanager nun schon länger und bin zufrieden. Die Erweiterung ist nicht ganz so gut gelungen, wie die App, da sie auf dem Computer oft lange lädt und keine Biometrie unterstützt. Jedoch nutze ich das automatische Hinzufügen von Login-Daten.

It used to work so well but recent update broke my premium feature. Not the OTPT don't work. I have to install older version for it to work. I created a ticket with them but they don't know if it will ever get fixed.

Seriously the developers just need to spend some time seeing how nice 1Password works and looks, and then try to make Bitwarden suck 100x less.

Edit: Thanks to Bitwarden for the response which has resolved one of my issues, partially, because this is not the default and the settings state is not replicated everywhere I have to set this setting in every browser and every account (so work and personal, all browsers). My issue about the cursor not starting in the search box seems to have been fixed/added so that's great, now there's just the UX decision to combine the password/username into a dropdown as a complaint.

Original review below.

The recent update to the addon has introduced a huge UX degredation, instead of a single click to get the password to fill in a desktop application login prompt you now have to hit the smaller copy button and then accurately hit the copy password from the selection box options.

Also, the cursor doesn't automatically start in the search box after authentication anymore, this is really annoying as it forces me to every morning log in and then with the mouse select the search box so that I can get to my email password entry, so that I can then have to select the copy button where I then have to now select the copy password so that I can log into my email because my corporate email account times out authentication after 12 hours (and sometimes, for some reason, multiple times per day).

Also, you now have to hit the small fill button instead of the whole item to get the browser to fill in the details. This is a reverse of what you used to have to do as now clicking the item results in the screen to view the information in the item where you can edit from. I use this far less than I use filling the details so I find this also a big step backwards in UX and looking at the recent reviews it seems clear that they have introduced a lot of UX friction that users are not happy with.

Bitwarden was my favorite piece of tech for the past few years. The browser plugin redesign ruined it.

It looks shinier, but everything about it is worse. It is slower to load, more cumbersome to navigate, less efficient at showing info (giant text, buttons, headers, fluff), and buggy.

The classic UI was nearly perfect, so I'm sad and frustrated that this daily-use tool is suddenly so much worse.

Bitwarden is great and free, however if devs could look into the constant password generation happening in background, we don't need to have a generated password every 5sec permanently while we don't use the app, make no sense and extra calculation for nothing, also make it extremely harder to find recently generated ones we accidently lost from clipboard

Great password manager; its not the prettiest but its feature packed and almost all the times just works

The new UI looks nice, but it often doesn't work properly in Firefox. Example: when creating a new login, toggling between "password" and "passphrase" does nothing! The selected tab will highlight, but the specific functionality for that password type doesn't render. Opening and closing from the toolbar icon seems to cause the extension to hang for a while. If I can manage to generate a new password - saving the login entry sometimes doesn't work and just hangs with the button disabled.

For some reason this extension is still not updated to support the latest Desktop version for weeks now...

One of the best free password managers. Allows you to save logins and other personal information in several different formats, and add custom fields to any login (which can be visible or hidden). This is a "must have" feature for me that some other password managers lack.

My only complaint is that after a recent update, Bitwarden has been a bit buggy, and sometimes you have to save logins twice after editing them before the updated information shows up. However, I mostly use the desktop app so idk if this issue is common for the browser extension too.

The new update is simply horrible. Text is hilariously large for no reason. Edit button was moved. Fill button instead of just clicking the thing. Actions that used to take 1 or 2 clicks take annoyingly longer to do now. Change just for the sake of it is bad. How could this possibly have went through testing/feedback before it got pushed to users?

Edit: Thanks for your reply I guess, but I shouldn't have to go out of my way to undo poor UX changes. Why wasn't the new thing an option instead of a forced default? Why can't I make the MFA buttons everywhere go away? While I appreciate the feature, I will never use it to avoid keeping all my eggs in the same basket, so they're nothing but distracting UI clutter for me. The unnecessarily enlarged font makes things a lot easier to shoulder surf and a lot harder to read. I'm not normally one to complain but these recent changes are incredibly unwelcome.
