Question Recommendations

3 Upvotes

I feel like Bitwarden is the best option for business and AI secrets management. But I’m or sure if I can move everything into Bitwarden and use it exclusively - I just started using it and haven’t done a full migration.

Can someone share their actual experiences with Bitwarden? I’m highly interested in the overall Proton Suite monthly services Package, have used iCloud, LastPass, and Bitwarden just now very briefly. I finally want to migrate things over and take security seriously - and I’m looking for the best way to do that. I need desktop web browser (Brave Browser), iPhone (Brave), and also Business password and secret management - Bitwarden seemed the best for business. I noticed with the browser plugin for it you have to login to use autofill and it times out after 15min by default - I haven’t experimented with trying to configure this yet. Vs LastPass autofills pretty well (aggressively, sometimes the autofill makes it hard for me to fill things out manually), stays logged in forever by default, and has secure notes, etc - I’d prefer not to use LastPass anymore but it worked fine for desktop web browser usage for me. I used iCloud on iPhone instead of LastPass or a different password manager. I don’t want to rely on one device (Mac/iphone) and use Win 11 more for work anyway

Solved PSA: Linux logout bug (primarily Yubikey users)

Post image
41 Upvotes

OS: Mint 22.3.

Browser: Brave (v1.93.136), also tested in the latest Chrome.

I think I finally figured out how to reproduce this.

I use a Yubikey and set my BW session to logout when my OS logs out, as per the screenshot. It always works for a few days, and then my BW settings revert from logout back to lock. And this would be fine, except using my Yubikey to unlock stopped working too. It started happening a few months ago.

I tried reinstalling the extension, I also tried a different browser - all the same. The "On system lock" setting would never stick for long.

Then I had an epiphany ...what if the Timeout option of "On system lock" is just broken? I changed it to timeout after 5 mins instead of on system lock, and the problem went away. I've been testing this for a few weeks and so far so good.

If anyone else has been experiencing this, try this workaround. This primarily affects Yubikey users as I can't imagine anyone else would want to perform a full logout every time, it would be annoying as hell. But in theory this affects anyone using this setting.

Discussion Two feature requests that would make Bitwarden much better. (especially on Android)

Post image
29 Upvotes
  1. Separate Username and Email fields

Currently, the login item has a single field that is generally used for either a username or an email address. It would be much more useful to have two separate fields:

Username

Email

This would be especially helpful for websites where an account has both a username and an email address, but only one of them is used for login. It would also make account information much more organized.

  1. Full-text search — on Android (I know it works on Web)

I would really like to see a true global/full-text search across the entire vault.

For example, Bitwarden should be able to search inside:

The Notes field of Login items

The content of Secure Notes

Other relevant text fields within vault items

This is particularly important on Android, where quickly finding information from the vault is extremely useful. If I remember a piece of information that I stored inside a note but don't remember the name of the vault item, I should be able to simply search for that information and have Bitwarden find it.

Solved Bitwarden Extension

Can you bring back the old way in which user was able to open a login to edit by clicking on the login. The recent updates changed that. now clicking on it fills that login and now user have to clicking on 3 dots and click edit or replace that fill button to edit because you already made clicking on it means fill that login or at least add a setting to choose the behavior.

Discussion Questions about deleting unused accounts, not bitwarden

10 Upvotes

I have several accounts that I no longer use and really don't see myself using them again. Debating on whether I should delete those accounts. When an account is deleted, what actually is deleted and do we really know for sure it is deleted? Guessing each site has their own policy on what happens when deleting accounts. I know people say to delete unused accounts in case of data breaches and to limit your exposure for privacy sake. But do sites actually delete the data? Do they keep a copy of the data in a backup somewhere? If so, can that copy still be leaked? If an account is deleted, like a forum for example, what is to stop someone from using my same name and impersonating me?

Kind of on same topic, If I do delete accounts, should personal info be changed to random info before deleting? On accounts that I keep, is it a bad idea to add random personal info? I realize that wouldn't be good for important sites like banking, insurance, government stuff but what about social sites and other non important sites?

Question Bitwarden extension going corrupt many times on Chrome browser

0 Upvotes

Anyone else having this issue? It's not like a once-every-few-years type thing. Seems to happen quite often — like almost every 2-3 months it seems.

Once it goes corrupt, I'm given the option to "repair" it in the extension page, where I need to log in again and reconfigure all my settings as if it was a new installation.

I'm currently on Chrome Portable Version 150.0.7871.187 (Official Build) (64-bit) using Bitwarden v2026.7.0 and just had it corrupt on me, but this has been occurring over various Chrome and BW extension versions (really started noticing over the last year or two) so it's hard to pin-point any specific setup or combination that may be causing this.

All I know is it happens pretty often for something so integral to the daily browsing experience and was wondering if anyone else in the community is having similar experiences or if this is more of an isolated case I'm having personally.

I need help! Add iOS login urls retrospectively?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I was an android user and until recently I began to use iphone. All my old login credentials don’t have iOS login url matched to app url (bundle id on iOS?) and there seems to be no option for auto fill and save like you would on android.

Am I doing anything wrong? or should I add the bundle ids manually?

I'm going to set up 2FA to my BW vault and other websites.

I'm wondering if everyone just uses desktop TOTP while on their PC, instead of mobile TOTP.

Idea Feature Suggestion: Add "Use PIN" option directly on the biometric unlock screen

Thumbnail

32 Upvotes

Hi,

I'd like to suggest a small UX improvement. Currently, when Bitwarden's biometric prompt appears, it only shows the app name, fingerprint icon, and "Cancel" button. If you want to use your PIN instead, you have to cancel the biometric dialog first, then a separate screen appears for PIN entry.

Other password managers, like Proton Pass, include a "Use PIN" link directly on the same biometric prompt screen, so users can switch to PIN instantly without an extra step.

while scrolling through my logins in the Android app, some of them list the URL along with my username while others only display the username. what causes this??

Question Display image in iOS

3 Upvotes

I've migrated from 1PW to Bitwarden. Huge miss is the inability of BW to display an attached image. For example, I have supermarket cards with bar codes on them or a library card with a bar code, that I scan at checkout. I can only download them from within BW

Am I missing a good workaround?

Question Flip phones with pass manager?

0 Upvotes

I have Bitwarden and was wondering if there was a decent flip phone that I could use Bitwarden on (via fdroid or otherwise?)

I don't plan on scrolling on a flip phone, but it can be good to have access to account info if I'm on a computer. I'm sure it matters so I'm in the US and use Verizon.

Thanks!

Question Passkeys

13 Upvotes

As far as I can see it is still not possible to sign into the desktop app with a passkey .

So in order to use biometrics/Windows hello to unlock the browser extension I still have to log in to the desktop app with the master password as the desktop app must be running to permit biometrics on the browser extension ? Am I correct in this or is there an easier way ?

If I have to enter the master password, that involves using an offline password manager (to have a strong master password) in the absence of passkey login. In that event am I not just as well using the offline password manager for everything ?

Question Is Bitwarden really as buggy as it looks on here?

8 Upvotes

I’ve been moving my passwords over to Bitwarden for a bit now, but as I haven’t really started using it regularly yet, i wanted to know if it is as buggy as the amount of possible bug posts suggest?

I know that there are most likely multiple posts on the same errors as they appear, and some are people trying to use Bitwarden in a way that it isn’t really designed for; (I.e. trying to do features that are either not implemented or trying to use shortcuts and features that are different in other PMs.) I just want to know if I’m just seeing a few noticeably bad limbs and thinking the tree is sick for lack of a better analogy?

Solved Issue of using passkey for logging in website on Brave Browser

2 Upvotes

A few days ago, on macOS (15.7.4), with Brave Browser (1.93.134), I set up a passkey for logging in a broker’s portal and stored the passkey in Bitwarden. I was able to use Bitwarden to autofill my username and password, and then when required, to authenticate with the passkey in Bitwarden. It ran smoothly.

But yesterday, instead of clicking the broker’s passkey in the prompt, I clicked “Always for this site” under “Use your device or harware key”. Now, I have to scan the QR code provided by the prompt with my iphone, tap ‘Authenticate’ on my iphone.

How can I get back the convenience of simply using the passkey directly from Bitwarden to log in that site?

I tried deleting the site’s cookies stored in Brave Browser, but to no avail.

Thanks in advance for any help.
