A good password storage that is especially a good alternative to chrome password manager, that is not too secure. Pros It is easy yet secure to store and access passwords. It is especially useful to autofill passwords. I also liked the feature to use Bitwarden as passkey. Cons Although I liked Bitwadren as an extention on the chrome, the bitwarden apps on the desktop and appstore does not work that well. Also, recently I am getting annoying pop ups on chrome as well.

Me ayudó a organizar mejor mis contraseñas y a tener más seguridad en mis cuentas. Hasta ahora funciona de manera estable y confiable. Pros Me gusta porque es fácil de usar, seguro y práctico para guardar contraseñas. También funciona bien en el celular y la computadora, y la sincronización es rápida. Cons A veces la interfaz puede sentirse un poco simple o menos moderna que otras apps. Algunas funciones avanzadas también pueden ser algo confusas al principio. Review Source Verified Reviewer IT Team Lead Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Secure and reliable password manager, if you don't mind some slightly dated aesthetics" April 16, 2026 4.0 Overall it gets the core functions right; it's secure and reliable and proves to be excellent value for money - the free tier really helping to drive this point home; providing essential password management capability that doesn't hide essential functionality behind paid tiers. The interface does feel slightly dated though, and in this day and age where all apps are boasting crisp, polished GUIs, this is only exacerbated. it doesn't try to compete on additional features or fancy extras, but instead places more weight on steady and reliable function; as an IT professional this is a common tradeoff and one that I would happily choose over feature-bloated solutions that seem to cater to more markets, but provide less depth in doing so. Pros Bitwarden is a strong competitor for password management solutions. It's secure, syncs across multi platforms, and great value via free tier or paid. Most of the fundamental features can be accessed via their free tier; including syncing across devices, complex password generation, autofilling credentials and secure notes. Amongst its crowning features you can find MFA support, passkeys and credential breach/leak monitoring to ensure you keeping on top of any potential security threats - although this feature is usually only for paying customers. it's a versatile tool that can be used for more complex setups, such as balancing personal and professional profiles and 'shared vaults' for credential sharing. A great addition is the support for local hosting for any that worry about the reliability of online platforms, or simply want to have sovereignty over their own data. To this extent however, the software is open source, which is a great plus for transparency and user trust. Cons The interface can sometimes feel unpolished or less intuitive to those that are new to the software; comparing against some other paid solutions can feel like you are missing that 'premium' finish found in alternatives. The free tier is a great way to get started and removes barriers to entry, however this also means that some of the nicer 'bells and whistles' require a subscription. The focus on bitwarden seems to lean towards functionality over presentation, which is a great tradeoff - especially from a tech background - however can definitely be a deciding feature for more casual users when deciding on which solution to go with. It can definitely come across as minimalistic when compared to other solutions that offer buckets of additional features, snap-ins and add-ons; such as VPN clients or credential/breach monitoring.

Ho apprezzato in particolare il supporto multipiattaforma, la disponibilità dell’estensione per la maggior parte dei browser e la presenza di diverse funzioni utili, come il salvataggio delle password, le note private e la condivisione sicura dei file. Un altro aspetto che considero molto valido è la possibilità di utilizzare un server proprietario self-hosted, anche se i server offerti direttamente da Bitwarden mi sono sembrati comunque stabili e affidabili. Tra gli aspetti meno convincenti segnalo invece il comportamento dell’estensione browser, che a volte risulta invasiva e può richiedere il ricaricamento della pagina per tornare a una visualizzazione normale. Inoltre, l’associazione dei servizi alle credenziali in base al solo dominio può creare un po’ di confusione quando si gestiscono accessi diversi su più sottodomini dello stesso sito. Pros Supporto multipiattaforma, presnte anche l'estensione browser per la maggioranza dei browser incommercio. Grande quantità di funzioni come salvataggio password, note private, condivisione file sicura. Possibilità di utilizzare un server proprietario selfhostato invece di quelli proposti da bitwarden, che risultano comunque essere validi e stabili. Cons Invasività delle finestre dell'estensione, spesso si aprono e bisogna ricaricare la pagina per rimuoverle, inoltre un servizio viene associato ad salvataggio password solamente tramite il dominio, dunque se sono presenti più elementi d'accesso per diversi sottodomini di un dominio principale verranno proposte tutte le voci d'accesso.

Open source contributor Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "helpful and secure" March 12, 2026 5.0 It is great and exciting since it keeps the passwords organised and secure behind many layers of authentication and supports many types of passwords and secrets. Pros It is my most favourite password manager, and it has been amny ears sine I moved into using it and have not changed it yet, since it provides great service for the price it takes, and has a responsive and efficient customer support, while providing a seamless login and secret management tools and options, in a wide range of storage. It is secure by adding 2-FA earliest between all the password managers. Cons I like it a lot, but sometimes I make errors, and the network stability also matters for it so much; maybe this is a security measure, but it is annoying. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Data Migration Analyst Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Superb password manager" February 23, 2026 5.0 Superb product and the best password manager as of writing this review. It beats every competition in terms of features offered on free version. Pros This is my go to password management software with autofill for smoother login experience across multiple websites. Information is secure yet easy to access anywhere in multiple devices. Cons Mobile phone experience may be a bit weaker less support on feature such as autofill for website logins. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head Of Development Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Does what it says on the tin" January 12, 2026 5.0 Pros Super simple to setup and does everything you need from a password manager. We rolled it out in our organisation within a day or so Cons We are on the Enterprise plan so it's starting to get a little pricey as we grow in staff members but we do pay annually to reduce the cost. Review Source R Reviewer GERENT Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excellent, perfect" November 12, 2025 5.0 Pros Bitwarden is completely secure and has excellent technical support. It can be a bit complex at first, but once you get used to it, it works flawlessly and gives great peace of mind. Cons Bitwarden can be a bit complex to get started with, but once you get used to it, it works great and provides strong security with reliable support. It’s definitely worth the effort to learn.

Pros Que podemos enviar a nuestros usuarios las contraseñas de manera seguras también manejar cuales son las contraseñas por vencer. Cons Es que cuando hago la búsqueda de mis contraseñas salen todos los baúles, otro tema que seria de utilidad tener el historial de creación de contraseñas.

Also disappointed because I had invested a fair amount of time comparing different password managers and thought this one would work. Instead it turned into a huge waste of time. Pros That it was free - I appreciate that at least I did not lose money when I deleted my account. Cons User interface, help, instructions, etc. very hard to follow for beginner. It was difficult getting started, and I never could find a satisfactory answer on why there are both a web app and a browser extension. There are also mobile and desktop apps. I could not tell if we needed all of the apps installed, and if not, why would we have desktop, web, and extension all on same computer? Review Source R Reviewer IT Director Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great password manager, great support, with some minor flaws" November 3, 2025 4.0 We demoed Bitwarden at work to use for IT and eventually roll out to other departments. I love it for IT, we moved off of Keepass on to it. We were self-hosting the Keepass database and realized that if we had an infrastructure outage we would be missing all our passwords. The sales process was easy, setup was easy and didn't require interaction with support. When I have needed to reach out to support, they have been quick to respond and very helpful. Pros Customer support has been very good, decent amount of integrations. Getting a family plan to use at home was a plus for me, though not the selling point. Passkey support, ToTP code support(!), custom fields are easy to add, integration with Simple Login for creating throwaway usernames when signing up. They have an extension for Edge Mobile on Android! Cons The integration with Simple Login disappears and I have to set it back up. I eventually gave up on this piece. Sometimes it just refuses to work with certain sites and I have to copy/paste. On mobile, when the password field is only shown after entering username on a site, the app will be "helpful" and copy the ToTP code for that login to my clipboard but I have to overwrite my clipboard to get my password for the site THEN get the ToTP code, which is an annoyance. Extension for Edge Mobile on Android is always locked and tapping to unlock never works. You have to pull up the actual extension to unlock it. This may be Google/Microsoft's fault, I don't know, but still annoying. Collections are not the best for management. I still like a Folder structure rather than a Collection. If you create a new "folder" inside a collection you are actually creating a new Collection and need to assign rights to it again, it doesn't inherit. Review Source R Reviewer Customer Support Engineer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "User friendly" October 27, 2025 5.0 Overall, Bitwarden has been fantastic. I've used a multitude of password managers in the past and Bitwarden is by far the easiest to use and manage. Pros It's easy to work, easy to manage, easy to do just about anything. A great product for me and for my customers. My customers really enjoy this product, as well. Cons My customers utilize EntraID groups and when trying to add/remove/edit users, there's no way for admins to sync Bitwarden with EntraID to make sure the users are removed/added/edited.

Project Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Good Password Manager but not Great" August 25, 2025 5.0 Overall we liked using Bitwarden but decided against making it our password manager. It is a very good option but not the most robust and deep/wide with a variety of well baked features. Pros Bitwarden has been a solid option for our company. It has a bit more of a learning curve then we expected but overall it's been a solid expereience. Cons The learning curve to get up and running was a little steeper but to be honest it wasn't a big deal. Just some of our employees sturggled a little more.

The solution that covered our needs both for password management and secret keys to manage without exposing them in our codings. Pros The security and self-host solution. The features and covering the needs for our codings with Secret Manager. Cons With self-hosting and our policy of no internet connection for our servers, to update and patch routine is complex and very time consuming. I wish there was an easier way to do it. Review Source Verified Reviewer Product Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Bitwarden Overall Good Password Management Tool!" August 19, 2025 5.0 Overall pretty good experience. There has been hiccups with using the extension and the search was not working and I had to reinstall the extension once, but other than that, always works! Pros The easy use of the product as well as the UI interface. The password management set up is as powerful as other competitors. Cons I do not like the limited search functionality for looking at passwords or secure notes. The only way you can search is by name, not by date created/modified, etc. Review Source R Reviewer IT-Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excelent Password Manager, ready to use on multiple devices." October 13, 2025 5.0 Easy and safe to use, all of our users use it, even the less computer savy uses it daily. The support is exellent and quick the few times i had the need for support. Pros Easy to use, and you can use it on multiple clients and devices. I personaly use it on IOS/Androida and PC. Cons Sometimes the autofill function don't work on my android device. But then you can just go into the app and use the copy function. Review Source DB Dwight B. Network Security Analyst Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Bitwarden is the best password manager I’ve used to date" October 7, 2025 5.0 Bitwarden outshines competitors with unmatched security, open-source transparency, and seamless device sync. It’s affordable, easy to use, and offers complete control over your data, making it the top choice for individuals and businesses alike. Pros Bitwarden stands out with its seamless cross-platform sync, letting you securely access and manage passwords anywhere, on any device. Cons Bitwarden has no downsides—secure, transparent, easy to use, and affordable. It’s simply flawless. No complaints. Review Source Cathleen V. IT Systems Analyst Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Password Protection and Storing you can believe in" August 28, 2025 5.0 It's been great. I would recommend it to other folks in IT. It's sometimes difficult to say that you believe in a service these days but, I do have some faith invested in Bitwarden. Pros It's secure. Honestly, that's what I am really looking for in a password manager. I want to know that my passwords aren't stored somewhere that is easily accessible to those looking to steal my information. Cons There's not really anything that I don't like. It's organized and does a good job of allowing me to search for passwords that I may not have known what folder I put them in. Review Source Erik V. Technical consultant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great professional password manager" November 22, 2024 5.0 Great password manager, easy to roll out across the organization. Pros The ability to seperate personal and work passwords, automatic form fillers, collections to seperate passwords per client. Cons I can't really think of anything to be honest. Review Source R Reviewer Owner, Developer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Bitwarden Password Manager" December 7, 2023 5.0 Excellent. Much better than my experience with my previous product. Pros The ability to use multiple devices and the Autosave & Autofill feature of the Chrome extension. Cons The incomplete version of the Android application, given that it does not suggest logins for every application, which requires me to open the Bitwarden application and copy the credentials from it manually. Review Source R Reviewer Chief Engineer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Toss out your little black book and move to the future" October 12, 2022 5.0 Overall its a great password manager, I install either the app or a browser add-on onto each of my devices and any new site I create a password for is automatically synced. The ability to easily share passwords with friends, family or colleagues is also a big plus. Its amazing how often I jump on a site and bitwarden tells me I already have a password, that saves me so much time because with several hundred passwords its hard to remember what all I do and don't have passwords for. Pros The fact that I have 300+ passwords and no longer have to keep an excel spreadsheet, use redundant passwords or keep a little black book around. I can access my passwords from any device connected to the internet through a web browser, app or widget. Cons Overall Bitwarden is great, the biggest challenge I have run into over the course of several implementations is teaching people the new workflow to creating passwords. I wouldn't say its a downfall of the software so much as trying to kick the bad habits most people have. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Developer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great user experience and simple management" December 22, 2021 5.0 Pros Password encryption - end 2 end encryption of passwords so they cannot be stolen from Bitwarden servers. Shared collections for team secrets - document passwords, server access, etc. Secure password message - send password to other user securely Cons Yubikey MFA support only in premium version. Letdown but not a dealbreaker Review Source R Reviewer Blogger Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Amazing Passwordmanager" July 27, 2022 5.0 I switched from LastPass about two years ago and i don't miss a thing. The Software is extremely small in size, has amazing encryption options, is blazingly fast and gets updated regularely. Pros It is extremely easy to setup, holds an unlimited amount of passwords (i currently have saved around 400) and let's you create even credit card pre-fills or save Adresses. So i usually can directly login to a website and let Bitwarden fill out everything else with just a few clicks. Cons On mobile devices sometimes Bitwarden's Trigger doesn't work. That's usually when an In-App Browser is used and Bitwarden can't destinct between the shown Browser Page and the App. So in such cases you usually have to go to the Vault directly and copy your credentials to your clipboard. Review Source Verified Reviewer Student Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great FREE open source password manager with similar functionalities to the paid competitors'" June 4, 2021 5.0 Does all that I need it to do and more, I will definitely be using if for years to come. Pros \- Simple, intuitive, easy to use software that has a great security reputation (open source!) so you can sleep well at night knowing your passwords are safe - Wide compatibility between iOS, Mac, Android, Windows, different browsers etc meaning you can easily access your passwords anywhere - Supports biometrics meaning you can quickly log in and access your passwords - Extra features like secured notes, password generator, autofill etc which are all added value in a free software - Small annual fee to support developers will also grant you extra features, but these are just extras and not necessary Cons \- Password generation could be more smooth so that it autofills, instead of having to copy the generated password and then after x amount of seconds the clipboard clears due to security measures and then you've lost your newly generated password. I would prefer it autofilling the newly generated password - On Android app, be able to select passwords directly in the field instead of having to enter the vault and select them there, fewer steps would make it even quicker Review Source Ho'omana Nathan H. Visiting Assistant Professor Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "The best password manager I've used by a wide margin" September 13, 2021 5.0 I use Bitwarden many times a day, every day, for various applications (password generation, storage, filling, etc), and it just works for every application. Can't recommend it strongly enough! Pros Bitwarden has a clean interface, it's super simple to use, it's open-source, it's free, it never tries to pressure you into upgrading, it syncs beautifully across all kinds of devices, and it integrates great with Android's autofill feature. Cons I have no complaints at all about Bitwarden. So far, there's nothing I don't like.
