User Reviews

Users report that the Firefox Bitwarden extension is generally usable and secure when it works, but reliability defects are frequent. The most common problems are PIN entry misbehavior (input clearing, missing keystrokes, or deletion) and the vault failing to unlock or getting stuck in a loading state. Biometrics are inconsistent and often fail to connect with desktop/mobile apps. Some reviews note Firefox-specific UI quirks and a broader cross-browser inconsistency (Chrome works, Firefox extension can be problematic). Despite these issues, many users still view Bitwarden as a capable and secure password manager when the extension operates correctly.
Pros
  • Generally good and effective password management when the extension is functioning.
  • Convenient and easy-to-use overall.
  • Perceived strong security.
Cons
  • PIN entry often misbehaves (clearing input, missing keystrokes, or input deletion).
  • Extension can be unreliable: fails to unlock, gets stuck, or shows loading loops.
  • Biometrics support is unreliable and cross-device integrations (desktop/mobile) often fail.
  • Firefox-specific UI/UX issues and performance bugs; popup/UI annoyances.
  • Cross-browser inconsistency: works in Chrome but not in Firefox.

Switched to Bitwarden and haven't regretted it for a second. The extension works like a charm in Firefox: autofill is instant, and the interface is clean and user-friendly. A huge plus for being open-source — it really builds trust in terms of security. Highly recommended!

Is Bitwarden Password Manager Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Bitwarden Password Manager requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
