“The Bitwarden Generator behaves oddly in the Android app compared to the iOS app. Try this simple experiment. Generate a new password in the Android app. Now switch to another app without closing Bitwarden.”
“The issue is that some platforms try to offer their own password manager that gets in the way of something like Bitwarden. An example of this is Google Android's password manager.”
“Bitwarden works very well on both Windows and macOS, so the switch shouldn’t be a problem. The browser extensions and desktop app are nearly identical, and your vault syncs across devices. The iPhone integration is also excellent for autofill and passkeys.”
“Helium doesn't have a built-in password manager, but you shouldn't use one anyway, use something like Bitwarden or Proton Pass, anything but the built-in browser password manager. Helium doesn't have DRM, if you watch Netflix ect.”
“If you need some sort of email based recovery bitwarden is not for you if you forget your master password. I recall last pass had such a feature but that password manager has garner bad rep over the years”
“What is the subreddits opinion on having biometrics enabled (fingerprint) on your cell phone and the Master Password stored within Bitwarden? Seems like a 'backup' for a lost emergency sheet.”
“I use Bitwarden on my Windows PC and routinely use it to log into various websites while in Firefox. I do have one credit card account where it won't autofill the password - so I have to open Bitwarden, copy the password, and then paste it into the field, but that only require a few additional mouse clicks and is trivial.”
“The point of joining Bitwarden is to relieve yourself of the burden of remembering your passwords. Just keep the master password on a piece of paper and on your person e.g wallet”
“I have been using Bitwarden for like 10 years and have never forgotten' my password... But in the case that I do, my wife knows it and also has the 2FA for it, so that's my emergency plan.”
“Roll back your firefox plugin to a previous version and disable auto updates for it. The firefox plugin updates to the latest security specs for bitwarden before they give us the equivilant vaultwarden updates. Tis a pain.”
“So im thinking to switching to bitwarden instead of my browser's passworf manager for a plethora of reasons but i have two questions which may be deal breakers.”
“Every time I first log in to my computer and launch Firefox, logging in to the Bitwarden plugin glitches out. It will prompt me for my password, I'll enter it, and then it will just close. When I open the plugin again, it will make me enter my email and then my password again.”
“I just switched to Bitwarden and also from chrome to firefox for my browser (Windows 11). Firefox recognizes that Bitwarden is in charge in the settings.”
“For power users and heavy agent use, 1Password and Bitwarden still fall short. I mean, they are still heavily tested and pretty useful, but I could argue that other password managers are better in other areas.”
“Both of which do not allow the actual secret to leave the device, the website sends a request, the yubikey does some maths with the secret key and sends back a response. It will only do so if the domains match so if you somehow ended up on a fake Bitwarden website, it wouldn’t work.”
“Yeah, but at the end for example I use the yubikey just to access bitwarden, and then I have everything there. So the security key was enough for me for example :)”
“For individuals, a Bitwarden "Folder" functions similarly as 1Password's "Collections." It's the closest equivalent you'll get to tagging/labeling with current capabilities, but there's more coming soon in that respect - you can see some of the preview in the post!”
“I'm trying to help a colleague log into salesforce using a FIDO2 via bitwarden. I set it up and it's working fine, but when she tried to log into salesforce and it prompts for the key, she clicks other key and a Windows Security popup shows up that prompts for "Enter your security key PIN" -- we haven't set up a PIN on her laptop so I'm not sure on the fix here.”
“Oh interesting - I assumed it was an issue with Sephora, so it never occurred to me to raise a bug report for a Bitwarden. But I will do, just in case it's helpful!”
“Bitwarden updated the desktop app to use a new method of copy/paste to the clipboard in the system, unfortunately the method they used is literally the remote desktop monitoring service.”
“The risk here is wildly overstated, prompt injection risk is becoming vanishingly small with the latest frontier models.I would not run an OpenClaw with full access to my bitwarden, but it certainly has some logins available to it, and can make purchases with link-cli which has human-in-the-loop.”
“Try creating the passkey from a desktop browser with Bitwarden unlocked, but if it still saves to the browser, Sephora may simply not support third-party passkey providers correctly.”
“Recently a new dialog has been popping up on iOS when I manually log into a website in Safari from Bitwarden asking me to "Save Password". Is there a way to disable this dialog box? I looked through the Bitwarden settings but I don't see a way to do so.”
