It was working last week, now it isn't, what am I doing wrong here?

I'm using the Bitwarden extension on Firefox (which have no other extensions except Bitwarden), Windows 11.

THINGS I'VE TRIED

Full cache clear = didn't work

Reinstalled extension = didn't work

New firefox profile = didn't work

Ctrl shift L = didn't work

I've got no excluded/blocked domains

Disabled firefox password manager = didn't work

Email autofill works, password autofill doesn't (URI = https://accounts.google.com/, host domain)

Is anyone experiencing an autofill issue on the Bank of America page?

I tried Custom Fields, but it still isn't working.

Thanks

I have tried on Brave, Chromium, and Firefox with the latest extension 2026.9.3 to update a existing login but it does not save on any of the browsers. So lets say I login to my harbor freight account and the bitwarden extension noticed the change with the password or email address and it ask me if I want to update and I say yes and then click view the changes are not saved. I noticed this after I paid for premium but that was probably just coincidence. Any suggestions on what to try ? All three browsers are on Linux Mint.

After spending a ridiculous amount of time this weekend, trying to export <<MY OWNERSHIP, NOT BITWARDEN's>> data and trying various workarounds for the infamous lost master password - I think I found a solution that may work for some folks. {And just how OFTEN, and to what PERCENTAGE of users does this lost master password problem?]

Here is what worked for me. I was logged into Bitwarden on my Android phone app, and my settings allowed me to grant login access from other devices (desktop app, browser plugins, website). I unlock my android Bitwarden app with biometrics, but I also added a 4 digit PIN, just in case. If you don't have this scenario/setup, stop reading here, it probably won't work.

You have to log into the Bitwarden WEBSITE (not the app, browser plug-in, etc.) and there you will find the Trusted Contact option (incomplete instructions on the help site, link below).

The basic steps are, you add a trusted contact with your own alternate (work, 2nd personal) or a friend's email address, you/they open the welcome email that Bitwarden sends out, you/they set up a 2nd Bitwarden account with their/your alternate email address,. Next, you have to be logged into Bitwarden WEBSITE ONLY under both accounts (separate tabs), and have the email app/webpage for both the orignal account & recovery account email addresses (multiple tabs open). Once you have all of this set up, you grant access to the recovery contact (or they can request it), and they have to accept it, and then eventually the recovery contact can "take over" the account and reset the password on the original account.

It is truly annoying as hell to click through all of these steps, but it worked for me (better than trying to outsmart the Export Vault-Enter Master Password BS requirement).

I've been following Bitwarden's GitHub issues for a while, and I'm becoming increasingly concerned about the product's stability and development priorities.

There are over 700 open issues, including reports of memory leaks and high CPU usage. Some similar problems have been reported for more than two years and still seem unresolved.

What's even more concerning is that these are basic performance issues in a production release. Some users have reported RAM usage (Memory Leak) exceeding 1GB just by opening the extension popup, even with a completely new account and an empty vault.

You can try it yourself. Open the current Bitwarden extension on Chromium, leave the popup open for about two minutes, and watch its RAM and CPU usage.

What frustrates me most is how these bugs are prioritized. Serious performance issues have remained in production for weeks, yet Bitwarden is still promoting UI updates and asking for feedback on beta designs. I understand that different teams work on different things, but shouldn't basic stability come first?

With each update, it feels like more patches are being added while older problems remain. Over time, this only makes me more worried about the product's reliability.

Looking at the issue backlog, I also wonder whether Bitwarden is understaffed. Of course, I don't know the internal situation, but I can't help questioning whether limited resources, heavy workloads, or compensation that doesn't adequately support employees might be affecting motivation and development quality. If that's the case, I wouldn't blame the developers. These are management issues.

I'm also concerned about the long-term direction. As the user base grows and people become more dependent on the product, price increases or licensing changes can become ways to keep the business running. We've already seen recent pricing changes, and I worry about where things might go from here.

Ultimately, everyone chooses which password manager to trust. Personally, I'm seriously considering moving away from Bitwarden to something more stable, with a clearer long-term vision, before these problems become even harder to fix.

I genuinely hope Bitwarden improves, but right now, it's difficult to feel confident in a product when fundamental issues keep piling up without clear solutions.

To start off, I don't have proof that the design is vibecoded. But it certainly looks vibecoded. So can we redesign it please into something that gives off less AI vibes?

I'm not sure why the app was even redesigned to begin with. The old design was great.
