Another password manager with plenty features to enjoy, premium features for the more demanding users, and an overall pleasantly secure experience
- Bitwarden is a highly sensitive security application managing 100 and more passwords. It is not a good idea to have this application require additional permissions to communicate with other applications. I rather take this as a worrying indication that the development of Bitwarden is turning into a bad and sad and wrong direction.
- Bitwarden offers a variety of different installation options for the desktop application. You can find them all listed below. Some options are not capable of automatic updates and are labeled as such. You should always keep Bitwarden applications up to date.
Running Bitwarden in Firefox 76.0.1. Every time I open a new window Bitwarden loads the side panel. I close it and all good until I open a new window and it loads the side panel again. It doesn't matter if it's a new Firefox window seperately or a new one with other ones running in. Log in to the Web Vault. Select Tools from the top navigation bar. Select Import Data from the left Tools menu. Select Firefox (csv) from the format dropdown. I changed the Bitwarden app to only open with a pin code. I open Bitwarden Unfortunately, whenever I try to fill in a username and password on an email, banking account, etc, it forces me to type in my entire Bitwarden master password before it will then autofill the email, banking username and password.
What's new in Bitwarden for Firefox 1.49.1:
- Resolve FF < 77 not working (#1706)
- Bitwarden Send - Added pop out banner for linux os (#1713)
- Add support for browser biometrics on Firefox >= 87 (#1668)
Remembering all the passwords you use for your accounts can be a total drag. In fact, it has become more and more difficult to keep track of all the passwords we use with streaming, chat, or download services. It's even more difficult if you're trying to achieve a higher security level by having a different password for each. Bitwarden for Firefox could be one particular option amongst dozens of other similar solutions.
It works like others but for free
Now this extension's most valued asset is its price. You can enjoy all the basic or necessary features for free. Yes, you'll have to pay for premium features like the 1 GB encrypted storage for file attachments, two-step login options, and data breach reports, but you won't really need those if you're a general user. It is indeed worth a try if you're having problems with keeping track of your passwords.
If you're a basic user and don't wish to pay for premium privileges, there's still quite a lot for you to do. After creating an account on Bitwarden's client website, proceed to access the extension from the right-hand corner. Log in, as you would with any other service, and begin adding login, card, identity, or secure note information.
Included features and settings

Regardless of your choice, you'll have to fill in the service you're using, the password, and other more specific information, like card number if adding a card or name, phone number, social security no. if opting to add an identity. This password manager goes beyond saving passwords.
It can help organize and make your credentials more accessible. Amongst other useful features, one can mention the password generator, for individuals looking to create secure, hard-to-crack passwords. The generator will randomize the elements you allow it to add in the password, presenting you with an option that you'll be able to change if unsatisfied, over and over again.
Your AES-256 bit encrypted data is so secure that not even Bitwarden can access it. Still, you've got plenty of options to access the data yourself when needed. You can import vaults and have access to passwords no matter what machine you're logged on. You can also share your vault with individuals you trust or if working on a project with someone else and so on.
Bitwarden for Firefox, just like the service itself, is definitely one of the more interesting password-managing options. The amount of features it offers for free is convincing enough. Add the premium aspects and the small fee and you've got yourself a pretty sweet and secure deal.

Everyone needs a password manager – and these days they’re ten-a-penny, offering most of the core functionality you need from easy secure password management and generation to integration into your browser and ability to sync across multiple devices.
What makes Bitwarden worthy of your attention then? For us, the fact it’s open-source is a major attraction. That means its code is transparent and easily accessible, but the company also uses professional auditors to reveal weaknesses for it to fix. There are paid solutions for both families (just $1/month) and businesses to help fund it, but ultimately all the major functionality is completely free.
It works across a wide range of devices and platforms. The link above will install the universal app version of Bitwarden, which allows you to browse, manage and easily copy your login information to the clipboard for pasting into other apps including your browser. You can also access your vault online through the web vault – typically when on a shared computer, but as always be careful about how secure that computer is before trusting it.
To simplify browser logins, however, we recommend you install one of the many available browser add-ons, currently available for all major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Opera.
Crucially, Bitwarden seems to have the security aspects right too: your vault is synced between devices over the cloud, but using end-to-end 256-bit AES encryption that deliberately prevents Bitwarden or anyone who tried to compel it to open up your vault. You can also enable 2FA for additional security.
In use, Bitwarden is simple enough to use – the browser add-ons help simplify the process of adding existing items to your vault, but a minor criticism is that you can’t easily link generated passwords to the account you’ve just created – either you must create the login manually, or log out and back in before Bitwarden offers to save it for you. But it’s a minor blemish on a password manager that should be enjoying much greater popularity than it currently does.
Note that this is the portable version of Bitwarden.
Verdict:
If you’re looking for a password manager – or unhappy with your current offering – then Bitwarden is our recommended choice.
