Bitwarden Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Bitwarden is that it is open source, which gives me full transparency and flexibility. I can either self-host it in my own environment or use Bitwarden's hosted service, depending on my needs. Another great feature is secure password sharing. I can store passwords in Bitwarden and safely share them with my teammates. This way, everyone gets access without needing to store passwords elsewhere, and security is fully managed by Bitwarden. In addition to that, Bitwarden offers end-to-end encryption, so only authorized users can access the stored data even Bitwarden itself cannot read the password. This gives me strong confidence in the overall security. I really like its cross-platform support and browser integration. It works seamlessly across browsers and desktop and mobile devices, which makes managing and accessing passwords very convenient in daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Bitwarden is that the web login experience can feel slow when I use the website; it sometimes takes a noticeable amount of time to load the login page before I can sign in. Another issue is that the interface can feel complex at first. Once I got used to it, it became much easier, and I now use it regularly in my day-to-day work. In addition to that, some advanced features are not very intuitive and require extra time to understand or configure, especially for users who are not very technical. Lastly, offline usage and sync delays can occasionally be frustrating, particularly when switching devices and expecting the latest changes to appear immediately.

Bitwarden is a password manager that helps you securely store and organize your passwords, logins, notes, credit card details, etc., across devices with strong encryption and syncing. It stands out because it’s open-source, affordable, and secure — making it a top choice for both individuals and teams.

Open-source code is publicly auditable and regularly reviewed, increasing transparency and trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autofill may feel less smooth compared to rivals… often requiring manual trigger clicks.

Also, Some users report the interface isn’t as polished or intuitive as premium alternatives like 1Password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Bitwarden because it's easy to use, secure, and has a good interface. I appreciate that it's free of bugs and that the premium version is very cheap and accessible for everyone. The initial setup of Bitwarden was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navigation feels barebones with a lot of entries and there's no option for pinned items or true folders, just flat tags. Autofill can sometimes pick the wrong login and complex forms confuse it, plus 2FA fields aren't always detected correctly. Offline mode lets you view but not edit and sync later. The security reports are basic and lack trend analysis, vault scores, and alerts for password patterns. The flat structure doesn't scale for teams, and permissions are too broad. Mobile apps are slower to start than others, and the autofill isn't consistent. Errors like 'Sync failed' don't explain what's wrong. There's some metadata visibility to servers, and recovery options for MFA could be safer and clearer. No allias option like proton. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After six years of using Bitwarden as self-hosted password manager, I can’t imagine my workflow without it. It’s secure, flexible, and has a clean interface that makes organizing logins and sensitive data straightforward. Syncing across devices is reliable, and the autofill feature just works, saves me time and frustration. Knowing I have control over my own data gives me peace of mind, and I really appreciate how open and transparent the platform is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little comes to mind. Occasionally, the browser extension needs a manual refresh, but that’s a minor issue compared to the convenience and security Bitwarden provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bitwarden is an open-source password manager highlighted by its transparent security architecture, with end-to-end AES-256 encryption and a zero-knowledge model.

Flexibility is great: options for self-hosting or private cloud satisfy data sovereignty needs, while passkey support and comprehensive two-factor authentication safeguard organizational accounts. The platform supports a vast array of devices and browsers, ensuring cross-platform accessibility without restrictions, there are dedicated desktop clients, mobile apps, browser extensions, a web app, and a powerful command-line utility for advanced use cases.

The set of features built into Bitwarden is particularly comprehensive. Secure password and passkey generators simplify creating strong credentials for every service, and the integrated authenticator supports TOTP, enabling simple two-step verification without needing third-party apps. Credential import tools make migrating from other managers or from browser-stored passwords quick and straightforward. Vault health and breach reports help regularly audit organizational security posture, highlighting weak, exposed, or reused credentials. Bitwarden also supports encrypted export, local cache and offline access, encrypted file attachments, and flexible username generation for privacy.

Administrators have fine-grained control over access, supporting directory sync, SSO integration, SCIM, and role-based access to vault collections and shared items.

Event logs and vault activity histories provide auditability, and policies can be set for password requirements, account recovery, and domain claiming. Sharing tools, including organization collections and “Send,” support secure transmission of sensitive data, credentials, or files, all encrypted end-to-end.

The onboarding experience is further supported by well-structured documentation and customer resources, with organizations able to deploy Bitwarden to managed devices programmatically. Frequent updates ensure rapid adoption of new security standards, while the open-source model promotes transparency and third-party validation of all implementation details.

Pricing remains accessible for teams of all sizes, thanks to an unlimited free tier with core features, and affordable business plans that include advanced controls and even complimentary family plans for organizational users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface, while functional, sometimes feels less intuitive than alternatives, managing vaults or shared entries may require more steps than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a free tool that I discovered that helped me manage my passwords securely online. I can use it across my devices (e.g., laptop, desktop, and even on my mobile phone) without experiencing any inconvenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no option to bulk delete passwords via the Chrome extension interface. You have to log in to the web app to perform this task. Considering that I mostly use the Chrome extension interface, having this feature there would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Absolutely a great for organizing & sharing passwords not only for myself but across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, adding in your own passwords isn't as intuitive as I would hope. As I onboard new employees, I often have to walk them through this feature so they understand how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bitwarden has came u p with new features such as: Passkey support, authenticator enhancements, Bitwarden secrets manager. Moreover, I came up with understanding that it has rolled out more modern interface on desktop and mobile apps.

It is usually designed for developers and DevOps teams under IT sector field to securely store, manage, and access infrastructure secrets like API keys, tokens, and passwords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yes, I feel there can be slight improvement in some areas like, performance speed over desktop and browser extensions as it's slight slower compared to NordPass. Whereas, offline access is still limited in Bitwarden as we couldn't add or modify entries while being offline. Autofill engine can be improved to match more sites and offer smarter suggestions.

Bitwatern is a really good password manager. You can generate random passwords. The best part is it's free, and even the pro plan is just priced at $1 per month or $10 annually. For the organisation pack, I don't find much value in paying because it is already open source and you get access to all the basic features, including login to multiple devices, for free. Apart from that, you can also share passwords in the free account. So I don't think small organisations need to pay ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some bugs, like whenever I enable that the vault should unlock with Touch ID on my Mac, sometimes it gets automatically disabled. Also, there is a problem with the phone app, as it doesn't automatically prompt me to enter the password in the password field of every website using the mobile app, whether it's an iPhone or Android. What I have to do is go into the app, unlock the vault, find the password, copy it, and then paste it onto the website. So there should be a faster way. I noticed only a few times when the password was automatically filled directly in the website/app, but it doesn't happen most of the time. I don't know what the issue is there.

We are still using Bitwarden several years after my initial review, and it is still working great. Especially as an admin they have given me more ways to manage all the users in my organization. The one issue I had previously is that people had a password storage space (i.e. folder) in their own vault, and in the organisations vault, and removing someone from the organization did not remove anything in their own vault. This is fine in principle, but many users accidentally saved their entries in their own vault, meaning I could not restrict their access when it came time for that. Luckily they improved that; they include now multiple options to restrict users from saving in their own vault, or for linking their own vault to the organization as well.

Among other things I appreciate the password reset options I can use as an admin to reset someone's password. Once past the initial learning curve, which is typical for any new password manager, our regular users have found it intuitive to use and I haven't heard any complaints. It also just works for both our Windows, Mac and Linux users without any issues as far as I am aware.

All that for a very decent price (which hasn't increased (yet), even in this more expensive economy). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the everyday user, Bitwarden is perfect. Getting into your vault from the browser extension is easy, and it generally is good at autofilling in your passwords and saving new ones without any issues.

But as an admin for an organization, that's where I still see some room for improvement. While Bitwarden keeps improving its admin console and gives us tools like audit logs and reports for weak or reused passwords, they could be even better, especially as our team is growing, for instance:

- It'd be super helpful if we could run those security reports (for finding weak or reused passwords) just on a single collection instead of the whole organization's vault. Because our vault is now pretty big, running a full check sometimes make my browser freeze up. Plus, not being able to audit just one department or project makes it tough to really drill down and make sure specific teams are following our security rules. Add to that the fact that generating these reports is quite slow (a few minutes for a team of 100 users).

- I can see when individual users last logged in by digging into their profiles, but it'd be so much easier if there was just one simple table or dashboard showing everyone's last login date. Right now, I have to go user by user, and that's just not efficient when you're trying to keep an eye on a lot of accounts to spot anyone who's been inactive for too long. Furthermore, this just shows you that they logged in recently, it is alot trickier to detect if they actually use Bitwarden correctly. This can now only be done (as far as I am aware) by exporting audit logs and doing some spreadsheet magic to find the people not using Bitwarden correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
