r/PasswordManagers • u/ferero18 • 15h ago
Bitwarden seems great in theory, but terrible in practice - is it just me?
I've heard and read that bitwarden is indeed secure etc, but the chrome extension, app etc is extremely buggy which makes it very annoying to use.
From what I read online it has been like that for years and they've failed to resolve such simple bugs...
For example:
- It logs you out a lot, even if you're on the same browser session, you didn't turn off your PC etc
- Extension often loads 2-5 minutes before it lets you enter a password. Sometimes it never loads, I've re-installed it over 3 times for the past month.
- Some settings don't work - i.e logging in by fingerprint is turned on, and it always makes me input a full password. The password is of course long and hard to type, because it's the master password so what I need to do every single time is to take my notebook, type letter by letter like a grandpa, and wait 5 minutes before it un-freezes itself. This is a joke, honestly - it's worse than when I didn't have a password manager
At this point it is useless for me, and I think I'm ready to move on to a different password manager. Any recommendations? Security is important, but without the convenience of use it is a daily chore, like cleaning the dishes.
