You can also self-host it (either the original or a more lightweight fork called Vaultwarden. although i don't know how trustworthy it is)

+1 Bitwarden. I wish they dog fooded more so they can see how bad their browser extension is though.

On firefox, their browser extension is excellent for me; what issues do you have?

I use FF too.

Common problems are:

1a/ If I am trying to transfer money between two banks, a Plaid iframe pops up requesting the credentials of another bank's website. Since the bank's credentials are typically configured on another domain, you need to search for it, copy the username, paste the username, then re-search, copy the password, paste the password. I wish the drop down had more 'memory'.

1b/ Similar problem of needing to re-search to get the password if I am trying to copy and paste username and password for a desktop app where it doesn't auto-detect a domain.

2/ When registering on a new website, its 3 clicks to generate a new password for the form. Why can't there just be an auto-fill with a fresh unique password like iOS offers? If the website rejects the password (for being too long or invalid characters), its 4 clicks to create a new one.

1a: I don't use plaid, but I suspect that adding the plaid domain to valid domains for your bank's passwords might work. I consider any time I need to copy/paste to be a big issue because it significantly increases the chances of successful phishing.

1b: yes desktop app seems like an afterthought

2: This is annoying and should be fixed. I didn't think of it because I so rarely register for new websites.

Not him, but:

* Android app logs itself out every time I use it.

* Lacked versioning of passwords (last time I checked).

* The workflow to add new passwords / reset passwords on websites is clunky. This hasnt improved for years.

1) Never experienced that

2) The older versions are available online if you click on the number to the right of "Password History"

3) Agree, that can use some polish

Agreed on the third point. But the first two have been fixed for quite some time now.

How come? Seems to work pretty well for me. Better than LastPass/Dashlane worked for me in the past.

I'm happy with the free version, but I'm paying the 10$ to reward the devs

I use Bitwarden, but the lack of auto type on Desktop as well as the limited selection of symbols of the password generator annoys me a lot

What symbols do you want? Kanji and Russian Cyrillic also?

The limited subset is that they're easily typeable on a normal English keyboard without having to resort to on-screen keyboards or alt sequences.

from KeePass at least:

- Upper-case

- Lower-case

- Digits

- Minus

- Underline

- Special

- Brackets

In the Bitwarden password generator you can use uppercase, lowercase letters, digits and !@#$%^&*. Is the lack of brackets or a minus really an issue for you?

Does seem weird to ignore []{}-_,()'`"

there are more special characters, e.g. the following three: =/:

Re: lack of autofill (at least for the browser extension), Ctrl-Shfit-L will fill in forms with the top candidate. Not quite autofill, but I find it faster than clicking.

I think not having auto-fill enabled by default is a conscious decision as there was a big fuss how auto-fill can be abused because the input can be captured without submitting. https://labs.detectify.com/2016/07/27/how-i-made-lastpass-gi...

There is the option to enable auto-fill on page load though https://bitwarden.com/help/article/auto-fill-browser/

I am speaking for the desktop application which can't auto fill/ auto type in different applications such as Element

This would be really helpful, it's always annoying having to deal with logging into different game clients when they randomly seem to log out

Same here. My self, wife and kids all use it. I have my father and mother using it.

I default to it for anyone looking for this solution.
