Top 10 Password Manager Extensions for Chrome in 2025

User reviews

Users appreciate Bitwarden's device synchronization, affordability, and strong functionality as a password vault. However, recurring issues plague its Edge add-on: biometric login is non-functional, and the extension often hangs or loads blank. Performance is slow at times, with long loaders and login difficulties noted. The UI has usability flaws including small autofill buttons and less intuitive controls. Overall, while the core service is valued, the Edge browser extension experiences significant stability and usability challenges that impact user experience.

Pros

Supports synchronization across multiple devices.
Highly regarded as a password vault compared to other options.
Affordable premium features like OTP key management.
Generally a solid password manager once logged in.

Cons

Biometric login does not work, requiring master password each time.
Extension frequently hangs or shows a blank interface on Edge, requiring reinstall or toggle to function.
Slow loading and spinning loader icons, causing frustration.
Difficulty logging in sometimes, with intermittent failures.
User interface issues such as small autofill buttons and discoverability problems.

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.
