Bitwarden 4+

Love it- when it works (UPDATED)

Currently, it does not show as an extension option to enable in Safari. Something happened after this (or safari) updated and it dissappeared. Yes, I have it installed from here- the app store. And yes, I've checked in the extension list to enable it- where it used to be, it is missing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, no luck. So for now, it is extremely inconvenient, as I have to either open the app and copy from it or use another browser (works in Vivaldi, etc.)

EDIT: I was able to get it working in Safari. I had previously had it installed outside the app store at one point, so some residual files were messing it up after Safari required it from the app store. I had to use a 3rd party app (appcleaner) to delete all the extra files related to this, and now it works in Safari after reinstalling from the app store.

I'm on an M1 MBP if that helps.

Servicable for simple things UPDATED-still needs work

Was looking for a 1Password bloatware replacement, but this is too simplistic. The organization of items is limited, there are no real date fields, only a single "tag" per record, no builtin item templates. if you're only using it for web logins it will probably work. Storing and seaching for other items you might want to keep handy but encrypted is frustrating. The desktop app and website do not have the same feature set and I found myself having to switch from one to the other. Could not get the CLI working at all. BitWarden seems a bit more useful than iCloud Keychain as it does allow some degree of categorization.

UPDATE: Five months later and it is getting better. Credit card storage is better than I remember, but BW could really use some additonal, structured data types such as software licenses. Set up an organization this time and put some records in it, only to find that there is simply no apparent way to move records back to a standard vault! Crazy. Help files are mum on this. Also, am able to reliably crash the Safari extension by clicking on Settings -> Premium membership. Have to quit Safari to get it back. DO NOT edit passwords in the web vault using Sarfari if you also use iCloud keychain! Safari will wipe out the password in the database with its suggestion! Oops. Edit in the app of your choice instead.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback! Vault item labels and additional item types are on the 2022 roadmap, with customizable templates slated for future development. For the other issues we're here to help, please contact our support team any time at https://bitwarden.com/contact/

Bug, probably

Recently, I been having problems with Bitwarden. The hotkey to auto-fill webpages no longer works, I check to see what other apps or extensions use that hotkey, and none do. Currently on a mac.

Also, if you autofill one website, and if you go to a new tab to fill out another one. If you right click on the field to autofill, it will show autofill but for the previous tab. For example, say I autofill my PayPal account on the first tab, and I go to my Mint account on another tab, if I right click on the autofill option on the password box for my mint account, it will show autofill but for PayPal. This is solved by clicking on the bitwarden Icon on the extension bar. And it will autofill correctly. But this is a bummer. I loved using the hotkey to autofill and if that didn't work, I would right click and autofill, but these are no longer viable.

Maybe it was the update for Mac, or maybe it was an update by Bitwarden. Please Fix.
