“I’ve just switched away from the Proton ecosystem including Pass and Bitwarden is so much better for accurately filling in the login fields. The one issue with Bitwarden is when setting up your account you need to decide whether to sync the 2FA codes.”
“The self-hosted choice should still be available in the extension settings, usually under the server/region selector rather than the main login form. If it’s missing, remove the extension, restart Edge, and reinstall it; also check that you’re using the official Bitwarden extension.”
“I’ve used Bitwarden for years but have poked around proton pads and liked it a lot. I just don’t like it enough to pay double what I pay for Bitwarden though.”
“I like Bitwarden, but if I start to see them go downhill, or if they start to do more price increases, I'll just use ProtonPass which is included in my Proton subscription anyway.”
“It doesn't accurately identify the app you authenticated to. I don't know why, but it gets really annoying when trying to update existing creds with a passkey and doesn't recognize the existing cred.”
“A 100% price increase certainly sounds dramatic on its own, and it would be, if the service hadn't been extremely cheap to begin with. $1.65 per month or $14.85 per year is still cheaper than what most competitors charge.”
“Edit an entry in BW, scroll down to the __Autofill Options__, click the cog next to the url (I'm on android so apologies if the settings are different on your platform).”
“Immediately after logging in using the credentials autofilled from Bitwarden, Bitwarden then asks me if I want to update the password that was just used successfully. Why?”
“Yeah, the free tier of Proton Pass has no custom field support, so I had to drop my evaluation as a Bitwarden alternative pretty quickly. I do like Proton's interface more though.”
“Bitwarden has better custom field support. Proton Pass has better sorting. Kind of annoying that Proton Pass pushes hard for you to use your Proton email for autofill.”
“The logical explanation is that implementing a feature - worse, a reverse engineered one - ends up being entirely on Bitwarden to maintain and cop the heat from when things go south.”
“Proton pass vs bitwarden currenty using the bitwarden and i love it. e=when i use proton services there is lots of paid services but i just wanna ask what do yall like the one that most people like i will move my passwords to.”
“Yes—Bitwarden can use a YubiKey as a WebAuthn/FIDO2 security key for two-step login. Register it under Settings → Two-step Login, and ideally keep a second key or another recovery method available.”
“I dumped 1Password for Bitwarden over 5 years ago and I would never, ever go back. I have few if any complaints about the UI. Does it work like other apps?”
“Still, even with the current version, the app seems quite unpolished, and makes me question whether or not I made the right decision. For instance, you can actually have more than one folder with the exact same name (wtf!).”
“After entering my master Password on my bitwarden app, it doesn't work anymore. After I enter the master pass and click unlock it's just unresponsive. I tried with web login but it sends a 2fa code to an email that's not working anymore.”
“Having your passwords and 2FA with the same provider carries some risk. If someone can access your Bitwarden account they will have full access to all your accounts.”
“Honestly.... This is why I have everything in Bitwarden. All 2FA runs through it so even if my phone got stolen, I could still access everything. I honestly don't understand why more people don't pay the $10 a year and just use Bitwarden.”
“Bitwarden can’t recover or reset a forgotten master password. If you’re still logged in, don’t log out or uninstall the app. Write down any passwords you can access, then check whether you enabled an emergency contact or account recovery option.”
“You need to copy every entry in Bitwarden manually and then reset the master password, it will wipe your account so make sure that you have copied everything before you do that.”
“I use Bitwarden and half my day saved is just not hunting for logins across a dozen client GA4 and Search Console accounts. If you touch more than three client properties, set up an agency style shared vault, it pays for itself in a week.”
“I also experience the problem sometimes, that the form does not seem to be recognized as a login form and the Bitwarden button does not appear. Happens quite often on a webpage where it first asks for a mail and on a second screen for the PW.”
