“But with Bitwarden, the Yubikey is especially important. That’s because you can use it not only for 2FA, but also for passwordless login itself. So, in effect, you can store your Bitwarden password right inside Bitwarden itself in case you forget it (you’ll then log in to Bitwarden using the Yubikey).”
“I created a Bitwarden account three days ago and I’ve been going through my emails, closing old unused accounts and changing passwords on every social media or service that needs one. I also downloaded Ente Auth and turned on 2FA (TOTP) for every account I have, including Bitwarden and Gmail, everything except my Microsoft account.”
“Is it the Chromium one? If so, it’s a bitwarden issue that it can’t be disabled from the Chrome-settings page in Vivaldi and should be reported to them.”
“I have begun experimenting with possibly moving from 1Password to Bitwarden. My windows experience has been very favorable but I do have a question on iOS. In iOS if I open an app enter a username and password and then login I’m not getting any kind of prompt from Bitwarden to save the password or username.”
“I currently use Bitwarden which I don't necessarily have any issues with, but I like self hosting and am interested in KeePass but I have a few questions.”
“Bitwarden has lost the plot. The most recent Windows update is so bad. It has way lower information density in the UI, more buttons to click for the same use, no longer puts focus on the search field by default (this one makes me irrationally angry), and on one of my Win 11 installs can't lock the vault, manually or automatically.”
“Have you checked that the Bitwarden extension is enabled in Chrome Beta and that the vault is unlocked? Also try opening the extension settings and turning on “Autofill on page load.” If that doesn’t help, removing and reinstalling the extension or testing in an incognito window may narrow down whether another extension is interfering.”
“For the life of me I cannot get Bitwarden to autofill forms in Chrome or Chrome Beta. However, it works fine for me in Microsoft Edge. I have it set as the default password manager in Chrome and I've tried going through all of the troubleshooting steps that I could find.”
“I am using Bitwarden extension for my passwords. So by definition, I don't use Vivaldi Password Manager. However, when I enable the extension and login to some page, a popup from Vivaldi Password Manager appears, asking if I want to save the password there.”
“What I would probably do, is you could set up so you can access Bitwarden with FaceID, and require password re-prompt on your more sensitive login. Alternatively, you could set up Bitwarden to unlock with a PIN.”
“Dashlane is better in autofill (especially when you need to regenerate a new password). For personal use i would prefer Dashlane, for work with teams at work i would choose Bitwarden.”
“I've read issues with Android 17, but I have Android 16 on both my two phones, and they still do not work on the app. It works just fine on my PC's browser app, and on phone browser.”
“You can setup Bitwarden to be much more secure than that. It won’t simply stay “open” but will auto lock after a time period that you set, or upon other factors.”
“My buddy did exactly this. He had all of his TOTP codes inside of Bitwarden, alongside all of his accounts and guess what?? He got fucking locked out, like a dickhead.”
“Its okay to store 2FA on Bitwarden except the code to Bitwarden itself, code to emails used in Bitwarden, bank accounts, email that you used to login most of your sites.”
“And I keep a free copy of Bitwarden for secure notes, etc. Bitwarden is in the process of revamping its UI and the screenshots I've seen look good. There's also Uplock to supplement AP, and it has a nice UI, but it's subscription (five free entries).”
“This morning I noticed that the vault on my bitwarden android app, (google play store) was empty. I tried syncing multiple times and nothing is showing up.”
“In this way I can do backups of Bitwarden exports, 2fa exports, some word file containing important notes. Just be aware: don't loose your private PGP key !”
“Use Bitwarden’s encrypted export for your vault, store it offline on an encrypted USB drive, and keep a second copy somewhere secure. Test restoring it periodically so you know the backup works.”
“If you use Bitwarden for TOTP, make sure your Bitwarden export includes those items, and consider having a second authenticator backup so one lost device doesn’t lock you out.”
“Export an encrypted Bitwarden vault backup periodically, store it offline (like a USB drive or printed recovery codes), and test that you can restore it. Keep multiple copies in separate secure locations.”
“Use Bitwarden’s encrypted JSON export rather than CSV, since CSV is plaintext. Keep multiple copies in different locations, protect the export with a strong unique password, and make sure your backup plan still works if your laptop, Proton Drive account, or phone is unavailable.”
“I also keep a thumbdrive with the exported bitwarden .json (encrypted) file that I update like once every 6 months. It's tied to my login which is on that piece of paper.”
“I use BitWarden. It is good as advertised. I choose Bitwarden because it works on my PCs, laptops, and Android phones. It also works without internet during power failures.”
