Bitwarden has lost its way. The extension has gotten worse and worse since its major update late last year (that nobody was asking for anyway). After its latest update, the extension is completely unusable on Mac, and apparently there is no urgency to issuing a fix. Poorly written, poorly designed, poorly executed, poorly tested, slow bloated mess.

It was just fine, then they updated the interface.

Now there are missing features (auto prompt biometrics, for example).

Also, why do I need it to list my entire password vault contents on every site?!? WTF

WARUM??? Ein Update heißt, das es BESSER werden muss. Mit diesem UPDATE ist es SCHLECHTER geworden. Die Windows Hello kommt nun nicht mehr Automatisch. Ich muss wieder ein Klick mehr machen. WARUM???

Version 2025.2.0
Das beste Beispiel wie man ein gut funktionierende Erweiterung mit einem kleinem "fix" komplett verkacken kann.
Vermutlich ein Freizeitprogrammierer der sich nur mit ChatGPT selbst auf die Schulter klopft.
Gratuliere du programmier-nobody. Hättest du mal selber diese Erweiterung benutzt hättest du selbst bemerkt wie langsam/nervig die zusätzlichen klicks sind. Und dabei ist die verschlimmerung der übersichtlichkeit mal außer acht gelasssen. Aber fällt ein chatgpt programmiere vermutlich nicht auf der nur 5 passwörter speichert weil der rest auf einem zettel am bildschirm klebt.

In Kurz: langsame response, mehr klicks, grauenhaft unübersichtlich
Lösung: Downgrade zur vorherigen version

--------------------

Version 2025.2.0
The best example of how a well-functioning extension can be completely ruined with a small "fix".
Probably a hobby programmer who is just patting himself on the back with ChatGPT.
Congratulations, you programming nobody. If you had ever used this extension yourself, you would know how slow/annoying the additional clicks are. And that doesn't even take into account the overview in clarity. But a Chatgpt programmer who only saves 5 passwords because the rest are stuck on a piece of paper on the screen will probably not notice.

In short: slow response, more clicks, confusing interface
Solution: downgrade to the previous version

I don't like the new UI. Everything looks weird and the buttons are really small

So much about the new interface has made this excellent tool more cumbersome to interact with. There are some tweaks in the settings which can help a bit, but filling in forms has become much more difficult as these are no longer on the default page and there is no obvious fill option. You have to mark them as favourites and they just get mixed in with login items. I would now struggle to reccomend this add-on.

used to be great but new extension sucks! the UI is terrible, it seems someone who have not been using it wrote it. I had to enable 5 different settings in different places to get it to work nicely.

Fingerprint login is broken saying extension is out of date but there are no updates either.

Latest update has downgraded the speed and ease of use of this plugin. New toast notifications self dismissing, that block the view and inform you in great detail that you have just copied your username, or password etc. The plugin is slow to load up than before, and clicking the entry to autofill does not always work. The plugin drop down appears larger and occupies a larger area on the screen. As a result it takes longer to locate things and it looks very busy. This material UI guided UX has taken away the sleekness and speed that existed before.

My favorite password manager

Hard pass on this quirky, annoying, and badly-coded app.

For instance, if you have the audacity to scale up your display, then look out - the annoyance factor will be ramped up by a factor of 10.

The app doesn't play nice with display upscaling. It doesn't allow for scrolling (or rearranging) within itself to get to other saved websites - it has a popout feature to do so that itself functions badly. So if you utilize that function, and go to a saved website, the app can block the login info, rendering the whole exercise useless.

And getting the app to close (or not close, as the case may be) so you can get to your desktop when closing FF provides further annoyance that shouldn't be the case if it was properly coded.

I've only gotten this thing to actually work for ONE website (i.e., where it filled in the password automatically), and that was before that website disappeared in the app and I had to use the aforementioned popout feature...that blocked the website login page.

I could go on and on about the annoying quirks I've encountered with this thing (on Win 10 computer), but the main obvious problem is that it is badly coded/badly designed from an intuitive, common-sense perspective. It's as if the designers didn't even test out its features for functionality.

It is astounding to me that this thing has received any favorable reviews from the likes of folks who should know better, such as PC Mag.

If this is the best out there, then I'm glad I haven't come across the worst.
