Sou usuário do aplicativo desde 2020, e da versão paga desde 2021. Vim de outra plataforma que além de ser mais cara, ainda não me dava total segurança quanto a privacidade e garantia de minhas senhas seguras. Atualmente é a única plataforma que recomendo a todos, seja na versão gratuita ou na versão paga. Uso no celular, e é a forma mais simples de auto completar as senhas e informações de formulários. Gostei muito de saber que o suporte aceita outros idiomas (como o meu, português, Brasil) e foram muito rápidos no retorno e solução. Um preço, mesmo em dólar americano, ainda assim um valor baixo para tanta segurança, super recomendo e com certeza continuarei sendo cliente/usuário.
Acho que nada que eu tenha o que reclamar.
poder guardar todas as minhas senhas pessoais, de meus familiares e clientes de forma prática, e principalmente segura. Tenho acesso à todas as senhas no celular, de forma muito rápida.
Very customisable to my own preferences. I use bitwarden daily or almost hourly. It is very easy to setup and understand everything that you configure. It integrates very well on all my devices. I very much like the integration of TOTP. Bitwarden is so well built that I have never needed to contact Customer support.
That we still need to rely on software like this and can't go fully passwordless.
Easy to use password management.
UI, Ease of access, good functionality, comes with many perks. Customer support has always helped when needed. Its used day in and day out for us as an MSP and its something we have started to sell to our clients, again you have a great model for resellers
Permissions on collections are overly complicated
Keep data secure, audit logging, can add and remove users
I've been using it for over 5 years (I think) and have never encountered any issues with syncing or logging in from different devices. The ease of use is why I recommend it to people who struggle with their passwords. Exporting passwords is also straightforward (I recommend exporting passwords every month, just to be in control). The most convenient way to use this platform is through the extension. It's easy to install (for security, use the link from their official website), and it's one of the few extensions I use daily. Recently, when I contacted customer support, I received a response within minutes. I haven't even considered migrating to a different platform.
Nothing. I like everything as of now. Haven't even heard of a data breach yet.
Creating and remembering different passwords is a challenging part of the digital era. Thanks to Bitwarden, I only need to remember a master password now. Also, the extra security with 2FA! When I need the data, I can easily export it as well. What more could you ask for to simplify the process of enjoying digital life?
cross platform compatibility secure local hosting
None Minor gripes are browserr integration. At times, it doesn't work well
I use an Android, iPhone, iPad, windows PC, and Mac for various purposes. Bitwarden has been wordenful and works well on all platforms.
The advantage using Bitwarden is to have a unique locker for mine 350+ passwords and sites.
At the moment I don't have found nothing to say, this app is ok.
My benefits is to have only 1 password for 350+ sites.
The semplicity of the use To simple send password to customer
Nothing its very useful i have sent the word to everyone
The rapidità to retrieve the password
I started using Bitwarden when i was sourcing for decent password manager that are free to use, cloud based, available on both pc and android platform. Bitwarden did not disappoint me as it fulfill all the critieria.
There seem to be some kind of bug that causes all my credentials inaccessible if I am using multiple accounts on Bitwarden Android. This causes slight inconvenice as I have to wipe data from the app and re-sign in back to all the account again.
Shared credentials to different users, this reduce the number of copy and paste and sending credentials around via other communication channel. Also password history helps alot in determining since when is the password changed.
Bitwarden is an excellent password management tool for several reasons. Firstly, its security is highly reliable due to end-to-end privacy, which means your information is protected even on Bitwarden's servers. Additionally, the fact that it is open source is a significant advantage as it allows the community to review and audit the code, ensuring additional transparency and trust.
Nothing! I like all features and security.
Organization of credentials and confidential information.
I like that I can rely on bitwarden to keep my most sensitive credentials secure and accessible
The only downside to using bitwarden is that you'll never be able to be without it again
Bitwarden is solving the issue of needing to remember increasingly secure passwords on multiple different platforms
As a Managed Service Provider we work with small businesses across a variety of industires who are often using a password manager. LastPass, 1Password, & Roboform are all common choices amoung our clients, but we push them over to Bitwarden. Every client appreciates the move and talks about how much more they like Bitwarden from the alternativates. Out users range from hyper proficient technical users, to 80-year old retirees and Bitwarden works for both of them which can't be said about a lot of password managers. We've been using Bitwarden internally for the last 4 years, and had a brief stint with Keeper before moving back to Bitwarden. Bitwarden is easier to setup, easier to administer, and is simpler overall. Also, not having to enter in your master password every time you want to unlock your vault is essential. With Keeper we had users saving their master password to a notepad file on their computer so they didn't have to type it in multiple times a day. This isn't an issue with Bitwarden once we set them up with biometric or pin unlock. We use Bitwarden internally on a daily basis and it saves us so much time. The keyboard shortcut to autofill passwords is a favorite of our team. Alternatively, the password auto-fill menu popups works wonderfully for less technically savvy users. I would not hesitate to recommend Bitwarden to anyone wether they be a small business, MSP, or someone looking to manage their personal passwords at home. We are extremely happy using Bitwarden and are thrilled to be working with them.
It would be nice to have a consolidated billing model for the Managed Service Provider plan. Though I haven't asked about it yet so it may already be an option.
1] Reduces password resets because users have easy access to all their passwords. 2] Saves time - The password autofill and secure vault saves so much time looking up and entering in passwords. 3] Password resets and security - Bitwarden makes it extremely simple to create secure password and reset account passwords when necessary. 4] Passsword sharing - Efficiently share and secure shared accounts with teams as needed.
I like how you can use it across different platforms: iphones, androids, macbooks etc. and that there are different ways to use Bitwarden. You can download the extension to use it in Google Chrome, download the app to use it on iOS or just use it straight from your web browser. The shortcuts make it very simple and efficient to use. I like how you can create different folders to organize your passwords. When I had an issue with my account, I contacted customer support and they assisted me promptly and addressed my concern.
There's not much I dislike about Bitwarden to be honest. I decided to choose Bitwarden based off the great reviews and it did not disappoint.
Creating strong passwords and storing them so that you don't have to remember each and every password that you have.
- The ability to integrate with SSO - The easy management of the passwords via folders - The possibility to add custom fields to items within the pm
- The fact that autofill doesn't work well and I often need to enter password by copy and paste
Remembering and generating passwords
You can create new real safe passwords, also you can save and verify them, I was using Microsoft Authenticator, but definitely Bitwarden is better as password manager
Is some complicated import data from Microsoft Authenticator, and when you finally import them, there aren't saved links
Cybersecurity
Bitwarden is a great product the ability to host it yourself is the best. Customer service is top notch and very fast to answer questions
I can not think of any. It's always running smoothly not issue updating it
Password manager hosted by myself
I like the fact that I can thrust Bitwarden to keep credentials secure in a single place. It's easy to setup and integrate seamlessly with all your devices.
I don't think I can find something that bother me enough to give an extensive explanation of it.
Multiple credentials needed for personal and business matters.
I run an onpremise bitwarden and I am super thrilled what is offered without any cost. Although I bought one organization update so that I also support the great work. It is a bit of an effort to have the browser plugins act the way I wanted it to work, but now it's fabulous. I use it constantly on every browser and every other device. I just implemented it also in my company. The support is outstanding!
The Android integration is not as flawless as on iPhone and not as smooth as working with the google password manager. I'd also would like to have an option to let the plugins "press enter" after filling out password fields (on every devicetype).
Storing Passwords and sharing Passwords with collagues or family memebers.
In today's world, many of us have several accounts and we want to keep complex passwords for security but mess up forgetting them now and again eventually making us reset passwords for almost every login for that account that is not regularly in use. Bitwarden answers them all.
Possibly there is no such that I can say about bitwarden.
To remember the passwords, we normally keep that password that is easier to remember making our account not so secure. Bitwarden helps save complex passwords to secure accounts. I can create complex passwords for all the accounts and don't need to memorize them.
Being opensource, it's incredibly secure and helpful to generate specific types of passwords. And I have the choice to save not only login information but secure notes as well. I use it at least 5 times a day, both laptop, and mobile.
It isn't intergrated well with safari as a browser extension so I'm unable to unlock with my fingerprint. However the act of typing out my very very long password is helpful with memorisation.
It helps me save all the secure password information I need accross the many platforms I use (including Linkedin and G2).
Enterprise ready Mostly easy to use Easy to rollout. Good admin features
None, as we are new users to this platform.
- Single tool across the org - Manage org wide passwords / secrets - Share passwords with customers
I like the most that it works on Everett platform I use! macOS Linux Windows. Each browser. Perfect!
Manual vault syncs are sometimes painful. When I want to use new password when I updated it on different machine I need to update vault first in the app on iOS and then autocomplete can find password. Worst is that even manual find doesn't have an option to sync vault
Operating with multiple passwords on multiple platforms.
Just fantastic tool. Secure, easy to use, abs functional. Great tool for teams
There is nothing to dislike about it. It is the best in class
Managing password in a team environment
Flawlessly operates, applies updates and always new features added
Searching for the correct login thru the browser extension
Sending secure text thru the send feature, generating and storing passwords
The fact that it is open source and essentially free, with the paid version providing features worth paying for.
There are no downsides to Bitwarden, I truly believe it is near perfect.
It is eliminating the old sticky note under the keyboard and helping us push toward a more secure environment.
’ve been using Bitwarden for several years and it’s significantly improved how I manage my passwords and secure information. Its ease of use, coupled with top-notch security, initially drew me in, but what convinced me to upgrade to the premium subscription was its incredible value for money. Bitwarden’s affordability doesn’t come at the expense of features or security. The premium version offers advanced two-factor authentication, secure sharing options, and the ability to access my vault from anywhere—all underpinned by end-to-end encryption that ensures only I can decrypt my data. Their commitment to transparency, demonstrated by open-source software, solidifies my trust in their service. In a nutshell, Bitwarden is an indispensable part of my digital toolkit. It offers a perfect mix of security, convenience, and affordability, making it a standout choice in the crowded password manager market. For anyone considering a password manager or thinking about going premium with Bitwarden, I highly recommend it.
Not much to say here but i think the native app feels like less user friendly compared to 1password but not enough to make me switch and it earns its worth by the other features
I have created thousands of website credentials over the years and managing them is no easy task. And by not using a password manager from the start i had lot of sites reusing passwords and easily crackable passwords. Bitwarden is the solution and I still feel sad about not learning about sooner.
We use the self-hosted option and we love it. It works flawlessly and when using in an organization you can set users to only see certain folders of passwords.
I haven't found anything really that I dislike. The only issue we had initially was was if installing on a Windows machine it can't be a virtual machine. We had to use on a linux machine which was a big deal.
We use this as a password manager for our information services group and this allows for passwords to be easily shared by using groups within bitwarden. This allows us to share without having to write it down or send in a message.
I've recently switched from 1password to Bitwarden, and I couldn't be more pleased with the switch. The transfer of password and data was quick and painless, the iOS app is great, and on the couple of occasions I've contacted support I've found them to be fast and polite. Great all round!
Nothing much to dislike! Took a while to get used to the new plugin, but that's a reflection of me, rather than the usability of the browser plugin.
Password and login management.
This is an amazing platform for password management solution. The security level this software hold is what is like most from my personal experience.
I cannot reset my password if i forget. Admin has delete account and reset account.
Managing passwords. I can put all my passwords in instead of storing on notepad or sticky notes.
Bitwarden is open-source, can be self-hosted and can also have a subscription that allows you to have more features. It had security audits which went great.
Probably needs a bit of work on the UI side, and should be more more fluent especially on mobile when autofilling forms.
- No more password remembering - Sharing with team or family
Bitwarden, to me, is the easiest and most secure method for creating and managing passwords and authenticator app duties. I especially like how it allows me to create a variety of complex passwords...alterative apps make that a cumbersome process. I upgraded my subscription so I could use their built-in TOTP authenticator (worth it!) as well as my Yubikey. Because I'm a security nerd, I might host my own vault. Something I just started using, and would have used sooner if I realized it was there, was the "Send" feature that allows me to send a file or text in a secure way, and customize how recipients can open it, and for how long!
Using it is intuitive to me, but I've noticed others struggle a bit with the learning curve, I think it could use some step-by-step wizards for the first few times a feature is used. I also wish it was easier to find and roll-back a previous password (for cases where I reset my password unintentionally).
I have over 100 sets of credentials that I use for work, it is absolutely critical that each set is very unique and that I can keep them secure. Before I had Bitwarden I had to use manual methods, and any cybersecurity expert could list the business risks to such methods. I am a more secure employee with this tool in my browser, on my local machine, and on my mobile device.
