posted 7 years agoCould you contact us at hello@bitwarden.com with more info? This addon should work fine on Firefox Android 57+- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13452612, 7 years agoGreat tool to import from many other programs!
It seems simple and powerful!!
One limitation: it don't works with login with 3 fields.
I verify it on my bank login that request client code, birthdate and pin
It's impossible to store 3 parameters (I think). - Rated 4 out of 5by Arakim, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by nikgrc, 7 years agoI decided to try Bitwarden. The interface is a litle strange to me (i come from lastpass) but if you enable "autologing" it is working very smooth.
How can i add a "form" that is not loging and is not card? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13421707, 7 years agoWhen we right-click, there should be available the options to copy username/password instead of "auto fill" only.

posted 7 years agoWe have this in other web browsers. Unfortunately Firefox web extensions do not allow access to the clipboard from the context menu so we cannot make it available. - Rated 4 out of 5by Aravindh Elanthirian K, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jason, 7 years agoThis addon is a must for anyone looking to escape the world of Closed Source Software. As such the biggest pro is this is open-source. However some limitations amount to annoyances. LastPass atleast for the moment has better detection on password changes and registrations (atleast on Linux tested on Google-Chrome, Firefox and Chromium). Another annoyance I recently ran into is premium features I would suggest should be able to be toggled off so as to not make this software feel like shareware/freeware. The import of my LastPass Vault went pretty straight forward but had a few minor issues that I quickly figured out.... Infact its been a few months since and I can't recall but I believe it had to do with a few comments?? Luckily nothing major and I have a huge vault so I expect most users to be able to import without problems and whatever issue I may have ran into likely may have already been corrected. This addon has a lot of potental so please don't view my review as anything but constructive criticism! Currently I am on the fence over detection of changed passwords/missed registrations since thats a huge pro for me. I'd give this 3 stars if it were not for the open-source factor which is a huge security improvement in password management. Encryption is nice but if it is implimented poorly it is useless so by being open-source I feel that user scrutiny will catch anything that might not be caught in closed-sourced software.
- Rated 4 out of 5by François Villeneuve, 7 years agoDoesn't have as much snappy features as LastPass but that's not all a bad thing. LastPass is turning into a bloated app and costs a fair bit more for the premium version, so the simplicity here is welcome. I wish its generator had support for multisyllabic readable passwords like LastPass.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Marco, 7 years agoI like the open source approach. Pricing is also ok for private users, but a few things are missing in the plugin:
- folders cannot be collapsed
- Right click menu is missing the option to generate a secure password - clicking through the plugin itself is possible, but the other way would be faster
- Bitwarden homepage (online vault) cannot be opened through plugin. The arrow on the top left is opening the plugin in the full Firefox tab. Why?
- An option to have the username or username and password automatically filled for a matching homepage would be nice
- Push notifications for two-pass authentications
And please, conduct an independent security audit. Otherwise great product, I think I will completely switch from LastPass.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi,
Thank you for the feedback.
1. Noted
2. Unfortunately Firefox does not allow copying to the clipboard outside of the popup window. This is a limitation of the web extension API in Firefox. We offer this option in other browsers, however.
3. This is so that you can have a persistent window open since the Firefox automatically closes the popup when you click out of it.
4. This option already exists under Settings -> Features.
5. Noted. - Rated 4 out of 5by Nick Burgess, 7 years agoUsed to be with LastPass and this is a great alternative, open source free and a good developer to back it up. The extension is easy to use and seems to work great.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Rick, 7 years agoBecause of all the issues that have popped up with Last Pass in Firefox I gave Bitwarden a try. So far it works well. Last Pass info can be exported into Bitwarden wiih little effort. So far it seems to work a little smoother than LP but I haven't tried much more than simple logons. I tried to find help on the LP problems but gave up. They don't seem to be interested. Lots of forum posts about it but I couldn't find any solutions. Another company took over and soon after doubled the subscription rate. Bitwarden is $10/year. I'll give it a try for a while and will likely go to the Premium.
- Rated 4 out of 5by charles.ee, 7 years agoEdit: One huge plus in Bitwarden's favor is actually implementing 2fa in a way that makes sense. If you want to use a Yubikey, but then fall back to Google Authenticator, you can. Unlike Lastpass, where it's one or the other, something almost none of the other services I use 2fa with seem to restrict.
I'm giving Bitwarden a try as Lastpass drops the ball on Firefox support.
It's very clean, and quick. Parts of the interface are clunky (when you edit/save a new login, the giant green bar indicating that YAY YOU SAVED covers up ALL the useful buttons in the interface and doesn't time out nearly quickly enough, forcing you to click the X even to perform a simple task that shouldn't involve the notification.)
It's not quite as good at detecting login pages and offering to save logins as Lastpass. If you ever need to toggle away to, let's say, copy a Authenticator code the extension completely closes and you have to re-type everything, even if you were in the middle of adding a new login. So even if you're only half-done, make sure to save even if your new entry is incomplete.
It seems to especially fail to capture new logins if you have two-factor authentication enabled for your accounts (which really, you should, right?)
It would be nice to create a folder/category for your login in the very same screen that you create a new login. It's clunky to create a login, then toggle over to settings, create a folder, then toggle back over to your vault, and finally assign the login a folder.
The extensions don't sync automatically, or don't sync very often. Which means changes in your vault or in another browser don't sync until you manually click a button. That's an extra step that seems unnecessary.
That said, I went ahead and paid for Premium even if I don't plan on switching away from Lastpass. It seems like there's a lot of room to focus on exactly what used to make Lastpass great, before it started to get bogged down in sluggish UI and doubled in price without any real increase to functionality. - Rated 4 out of 5by 玄清介, 7 years agoIt is an Oracle business intelligence based site. Every time I open a page, it pops up and say a script from bitwarden slows firefox. Thanks a lot if you can fix this.

posted 7 years agoCan you please send us the link to the website so that we can test it? You can email us at hello@bitwarden.com - Rated 4 out of 5by MakeFirefoxGreatAgain, 7 years agoNo option to select from multiple logins(It autofills the last one) for a website.
Other than that is doing a good job. Developer is responsive and its open source which is always preferable when it comes to security. Go the last mile!Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi,
If you have multiple logins you can select the one to autofill from the popup window or right-click context menu. Watch our getting started video for more info: https://bitwarden.com/browser-start/ - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12335945, 7 years agoSwitched from LP and looks great so far. I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to configure so that I am prompted to login immediately after opening Firefox?
2. Is it possible to be prompted again for Master Password for certain more sensitive websites (eg. banking)?
Thanks and keep up the good work.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi,
1. Yes, configure lock options under settings to "on restart".
2. Not currently. - Rated 4 out of 5by firefoxtrot, 7 years agoIt would be useful to stay logged in or setup custom limits.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi,
The addon does not log you out. You will stay logged in permanently unless you manually log out. You can set limits for lock options to lock the extension after a certain time under "Settings".
Are you getting logged out for some reason? Send us an email at hello@bitwarden.com if so and we can help you figure out the problem. - Rated 4 out of 5by Old Bear, 7 years agoBitwarden est un excellent gestionnaire de mot de passe, mais je regrette quelques soucis de sécurité sur le module : le verrouillage automatique ne dépend pas de la fermeture du navigateur par exemple (fermeture au bout d'un temps donné ou au verrouillage du PC par exemple ; plutôt qu'en fonction de la fermeture du navigateur) ; et surtout le module ne permet pas une déconnexion automatique (uniquement verrouillage). Du coup, l'authentification à double facteur n'est pas sollicitée quand on s'authentifie de nouveau avec son mot de passe fort.
Le module bénéficierait vraiment d'augmenter cette sécurité.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi,
We plan to add automatic log out in the near future. This will allow 2FA to be used each time.
Salut,
Nous prévoyons d'ajouter un déconnexion automatique dans un proche avenir. Cela permettra à 2FA d'être utilisé à chaque fois. - Rated 4 out of 5by Vinicius, 8 years agoStill missing some features from LastPass, but it's definitely on the right track.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Wilbert van Bakel, 8 years agoAs a longtime paying Lastpass customer I think that Bitwarden offers a fresh breathe and it is less in my face than Lastpass.
Great job!
Recently I got interested in different Firefox releases (developer and nightly) and I found out that login only works with success in the Stable release.
Only after the login is completed in Firefox Stable release (including multifactor security) will Bitwarden function in the developer and nightly releases.
Only feature that I'm not sure how to deal with is the missing credit card form fills that Lastpass offers, I didn't find any tips in the documentation on how to do this. - Rated 4 out of 5by Dustin, 8 years agobitwarden works very well at what it does, but I was spoiled with LastPass's feature set.
In particular, having the ability to securely store and aut-fill credit card information was extremely useful.
As others say bitwarden does its job well and doesn't put a bunch of "value-add" time wasters in your way. I look forward to the day when the paid features are available so I can give financial support!Developer response
posted 8 years agoThanks for the feedback. We'll have credit cards and other secure note types out this summer sometime. - Rated 4 out of 5by GMS77, 8 years agoI switched from Lastpass to here because that extension is too bloated now but I do miss a couple of its features, hopefully you can implement them here.
1. I'd like to be able to set certain sites to have a password re-prompt so I can keep logged into my vault but have to enter master password again for example banking and shopping sites.
2. The ability to create secure notes.Developer response
posted 8 years agoThanks for the feedback. Secure notes is planned to be coming soon. - Rated 4 out of 5by Juan Simón, 8 years agoSi no abandonan el desarrollo y optan por crear un producto de calidad será el sucesor de LastPass (el que usaba yo hasta hace muy poco).
