Never change your password. I did so only because my password was leaked out on the dark web. Since it was similar to the one used with accessing Bitwarden, I changed it.
Bad move.
Now I can no longer sign into the Bitwarden Add-On in Firefox.
However, I can sign into Bitwarden through the online vault, and while remaining signed in, I can then sign into the stand alone Bitwarden application and yet still not sign into the Bitwarden Add-On in Firefox. It refuses to recognize the new password. You can sync the app everywhere and it won't make a difference.
You can delete the add-on, re-add it, restart Firefox, and dance naked beneath a full moon and it will not recognize the new password once it is changed.
Oh, and even trying the original password doesn't work either. Yes, I even tried that.
Also, forget turning off two-step sign in, because no matter how many times you do that, it will turn itself back on again and usually at a time when it is most convenient.
I remember the days when signing into things was a breeze, now you have to bend over backwards and shove your face up your arse to get into even the most ridiculously unimportant sites. Thus having a password manager... that doesn't work with it's own password.
Oh, and forget trying to use it easily with an iPhone. I have the new iPhone 16 and it has been reduced to ridiculousness. It is almost impossible to use it easily without have to circumnavigate Apple's BS making anything but their own password manager easy to use. What used to be a single step process, is now three or more steps. Don't expect to create new passwords on the fly, or for Bitwarden to recognize website that exist within it. You will have to manually got into the app and do it the old fashioned way... click click, type in website and search, click click, copy username, click click, paste into website sign in page, click click back to Bitwarden, click click copy password, click click paste into website password field... and hope.
This is as much Apple's fault as it is Bitwardens, and perhaps more so. Apple doesn't want anyone using anything other than what they can force you to use that they can make more cash on. Which is why I detest them as much as I once loved them when Apple was still Apple before that Microsoft hack, Tim Cooke was taken on as CEO. What in hell was the board of directors of Apple thinking? Profit and ever more profit that was all.
Enough ranting. Now I have to figure out how the hell I'm going to be able to sign into accounts made with Bitwarden when it still worked. Passwords of 135 characters long.

- Rated 3 out of 5by aarch0x40, 3 days agoRecently replaced another secrets manager with Bitwarden and have been mostly pleased with the transition. Something changed recently though and the browser plugins for Firefox variants seem broken / unable to connect to the binary install for macOS. First it seemed like just biometrics but browser passwords are just completely broken now. It's something that can be worked around but also shouldn't have happened in the first place.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 20018713, 4 days agoChanging the API to break logging in is unnecessary and short-sighted. I should know, I have prescription lenses.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rév, 4 days agoAbsolute must have. Bitwarden, in this day and age of subscription are giving this cross platform gold for free is mind blowing to me. It even supports passkeys on free account!
- Rated 1 out of 5by dill, 5 days agoI never write reviews for extensions, but a change in the extension has made my workflow impossible. I used to always click the item name to see the contents, but now it automatically autofills, which is something I do not want. I had to downgrade back to a 2025 version of the extension to make it usable for me again.

- Rated 1 out of 5by BearCat, 6 days agoЛагает из-за расширения жутко.
В ютубе плейлист длинный на 400+ видео музыки просто интерфейс умирает, через 3 секунды только реагирует аж курсор пропадает. - Rated 1 out of 5by kelevra989, 6 days agoL'add-on anche avendo l'impostazione correttamente inserita non permette l'accesso con pin. ogni volta bisogna inserire la password per intero. Non è possibile per un app del genere. Correggete per favore.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ebayybe, 19 days agoSwitched to Bitwarden and haven't regretted it for a second. The extension works like a charm in Firefox: autofill is instant, and the interface is clean and user-friendly. A huge plus for being open-source — it really builds trust in terms of security. Highly recommended!
- Rated 5 out of 5by uudrs, 20 days agoBeen using BW for couple years now, best decision ever to switch from built-in browser password manager to a dedicated one.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Andrea-FF19967159, 22 days agoI currently have BW v.2026.5.1 in Firefox, and I don’t see any slowness. Even with v.2026.5.0 and v.2026.4.0, I didn’t have any problems with sites/logins. The only noticeable bug was on the saving of autofill settings, which was fixed in v.2026.5.0.
Disclaimer: I’m a developer, and I use very powerful PCs.
If other people are still complaining, it may be one (or more!) of the following things:
- They have a slow or very low-end PC
- They have a compromised PC
- They use some particular, specific sites, e.g., Reddit (?) (I don’t use it, so I can’t tell), which may still be problematic with BW - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15074769, 22 days agoBitwarden extension has been a total nightmare in Firefox for a while now with no fix in sight.
Freezing webpages, crashing tabs etc. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14968709, 23 days ago
