Top 10 Password Manager Extensions for Chrome in 2025

User reviews

Bitwarden Password Manager is praised for solid password management, multi-device synchronization, and affordable premium features. However, multiple users report significant issues on Microsoft Edge, including frequent hangs, slow or blank loading screens, and login difficulties. Biometric login doesn't function, forcing manual password entry each time. Android Edge users face autofill and self-hosting server integration challenges. Interface usability and persistent errors also diminish the experience, though the extension remains a popular choice for many users.

Pros

Good synchronization across all devices.
Generally a solid and reliable password manager.
Affordable premium option with OTP key management.
User-friendly and convenient for password management.

Cons

Extension frequently hangs or fails to load, often showing blank interfaces.
Fails to work properly on Microsoft Edge, with issues like inability to log in or delayed loading.
Biometric login is not functional, requiring master password entry each time.
Autofill integration issues on Android Edge, especially with self-hosted servers.
User interface issues such as small fill buttons and persistent error messages in the console.

Recent reviews

Biometrics does not work. It's annoying having to type master password every time I open Edge.

They fixed all the bugs with logging in but now that I'm using this regularly I notice that it offers to generate passwords for me and then promptly forgets the password. KeePass saves generated passwords in a temp location so that I don't lose it.

Great product. I use it for all my passwords, and the addition of passkeys is great! I also use the BW CLI or developer access to the key store. An annoyance introduced in a recent release is that when you select BW (browser), the cursor and focus aren't on search, so you need to use the mouse before you can start typing the login you're looking for. Please correct.
