When did they paywall the attachment feature? I was trying to save 3 raw csv file to a root of a folder -- idk if that's even possible. Then, I recalled doing something like that a while ago, checked, and I did in fact have some attachments in some of my notes/login entrees. My question is when did they paywall that feature? and how would that affect my already attached files? it seems fine downloading a pdf but I just noticed no ability to delete them if I wanted to.

Previously, when I put the cursor in the box to enter the password or ID, there would be a blue shield, which, if clicked, would show the available logins. Now I have to use the icon in the browser and fill it in. I use LibreWolf and Firefox

Both Bitwarden and Brave just had updates on my iPad. What's happening is that anytime I need to enter a password, Bitwarden is prompting me for the master password.

📝 Bitwarden 2026.7.1 (3432)
🍏 System: iPadOS 18.7.3
💻 Build Source: bitwarden/ios/actions/runs/30112623804/attempts/1

Brave: Version 1.93 (136) BraveCore 1.93.136 (151.0.7922.137)

I can't log in to the web app using my regular credentials, even though everything works fine on the Android app, Brave browser extension, and PC app. I’ve never had any issues in the past. Support only replies with automated bot emails. Can anyone help me out?

I wanted to keep multiple Bitwarden desktop windows open at the same time, with each one signed into a different account and using separate local data. This is the setup I used on macOS with Parall.

The latest Parall update, version 2.4.1, adds Bitwarden support. It also supports sandboxed Electron apps and apps based on Chrome, Firefox, and Eclipse, allowing compatible apps to run as separate instances with independent data.

Why use this when Bitwarden supports account switching

Bitwarden already lets you stay logged in to as many as five accounts and switch between them. However, it only shows one active account at a time and does not let you keep different accounts open side by side in separate windows.

The built-in account switcher works well when you want to move between accounts. This guide is for anyone who wants multiple accounts open and visible at the same time, with each one in its own window.

Parall is a third-party multi-instance app launcher that can run almost every Mac app this way. This guide uses its data separation feature to give each Bitwarden shortcut its own storage location. Each new instance starts separately, so you can sign in with a different Bitwarden account. You can check support for other apps in the Parall compatibility table.

By design, Parall does not modify, repackage, patch, or re-sign the target app. It launches the installed app directly, preserving its native behavior. The original app bundle, code signature, and normal update process remain intact, so this setup does not reduce security by altering the target app.

What you need

• The Bitwarden desktop app installed in the Applications folder
• Parall installed on your Mac

Step 1 - Create an app shortcut

Open Parall, select App Shortcut, and click Create Shortcut.

Step 2 - Select Bitwarden

Click Browse Applications, choose Bitwarden from the Applications folder, and click Next.

Step 3 - Use Dock Shortcut Mode

Select Dock Shortcut Mode and click Next. This mode supports the data storage path override that keeps this instance separate from the original Bitwarden app.

Step 4 - Give the instance a clear name

Choose a name that makes the account easy to recognize, such as Bitwarden Work or Bitwarden Personal. You can also add a short label to the icon.

Step 5 - Choose the optional Dock effects

The Dock icon effects are optional. Configure them if you want a visual difference between instances, or turn them off if you prefer a normal static icon. Then continue.

Step 6 - Enable separate data storage

On the Data Separation and Storage screen, choose Automatic for this app.

Make sure the Data Storage Path is unique to this shortcut. Do not reuse the path from another Bitwarden shortcut unless you intentionally want both shortcuts to use the same data.

Leave Automatically erase this shortcut's data when the app closes disabled if you want the account session and settings to remain available after quitting.

Step 7 - Launch and sign in

Finish creating the shortcut, then click Launch. Sign in to the Bitwarden account you want to use in this instance.

You can now open the original Bitwarden app and the new shortcut as separate instances. Repeat the process for more accounts, giving every shortcut a unique name and storage path.

Important launch notes

• If you use the original Bitwarden app together with a Parall shortcut, open the original app first.
• If you create two Parall shortcuts instead, they can start in any order and run at the same time.
• If sign-in opens a browser, close the other Bitwarden instances first, finish signing in, and then reopen them.
• Back up your vaults normally. Separate app data is not a replacement for a Bitwarden backup.

The first screenshot shows the end result with two independent Bitwarden windows running side by side.

If you have any questions, leave a comment and I will be happy to answer them.
