r/Bitwarden

Hi,

I've recently reinstalled the app, and now there simply isn't an option to unlock the vault with my biometrics. I can create a pin number, but there's just no option to unlock with fingerprints. I did some online research, but haven't found a solution to this problem. Has anybody faced this issue before?

I'm on a Motorola with Android 15. The app version is 2026.7.1 (21803).

Edit: details.

so i recently got a galaxy tab s11 from cdiscount (arrived in a sealed box), and i can’t seem to log in the app or web vault. i managed to do so only once or twice but i don’t understand why.

it tells me : "Error: username or password incorrect" even though they 1000% are correct (tried on my phone and computer with the same username and password and it worked).

what i’ve tried but doesnt work:

- adding an access key on my phone and using that to connect

- deleting the app’s cache

- deleting the app and downloading it again

- trying the same username and password on other devices on the same WiFi

- sharing my phone’s data to my tablet, so that my ip was different

- made sure that the server’s url is the right one (it is)

i’m so lost... could someone help me? does anyone already had that problem?

Hello, everyone.

I currently have a Docker container with Vaultwarden running on my Raspberry Pi.

I also have the official Bitwarden client installed on all my devices (Web extension/Windows/iPadOS/Android). I’m having an issue with the Android version.

The problem: Passwords and secure notes aren’t showing up in the app. Only the list of folders is visible in the settings, but they’re all marked as empty.

What I’ve tried:

- I tried to sync the vault through my app. It didn't work.

Here are the logs from the Docker container at the time of the sync:

[2026-08-19 17:02:20.067][request][INFO] GET /api/sync
[2026-08-19 17:02:20.076][response][INFO] (sync) GET /api/sync?<data..> => 200 OK

- I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it then logging back in. That didn't work.

Am I the only one having a problem with the Android version, and do you know how to fix it? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I'm on a MacBook Pro M1. About a year or two ago, when the Chrome extension got redesigned, it stopped working properly for me, so I switched to Firefox, where it's worked great ever since.

I recently switched back to Chrome, hoping the issue had been fixed, but I'm running into the exact same problem: when I click the extension icon, it either takes 2–3 seconds to open, or doesn't open at all.

Has anyone else run into this? Would love to hear if there's a fix or workaround.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy my first physical security key, and I’m deciding between these two models. I don’t really have any other options because I live in Latin America, and unfortunately, buying through Amazon is pretty much my only choice.

I’ll be using it with Bitwarden and my email accounts. Buying two YubiKey NFCs, which is the cheaper/basic version, costs me $58, while two Thetis Pro keys cost $44.

However, I’ve seen that the Thetis keys have two USB ports (A and C), but I’m not sure how reliable they are in terms of software support and durability.

If anyone here has used them, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience and give me some advice.

Thanks a lot!

I feel like Bitwarden is the best option for business and AI secrets management. But I’m or sure if I can move everything into Bitwarden and use it exclusively - I just started using it and haven’t done a full migration.

Can someone share their actual experiences with Bitwarden? I’m highly interested in the overall Proton Suite monthly services Package, have used iCloud, LastPass, and Bitwarden just now very briefly. I finally want to migrate things over and take security seriously - and I’m looking for the best way to do that. I need desktop web browser (Brave Browser), iPhone (Brave), and also Business password and secret management - Bitwarden seemed the best for business. I noticed with the browser plugin for it you have to login to use autofill and it times out after 15min by default - I haven’t experimented with trying to configure this yet. Vs LastPass autofills pretty well (aggressively, sometimes the autofill makes it hard for me to fill things out manually), stays logged in forever by default, and has secure notes, etc - I’d prefer not to use LastPass anymore but it worked fine for desktop web browser usage for me. I used iCloud on iPhone instead of LastPass or a different password manager. I don’t want to rely on one device (Mac/iphone) and use Win 11 more for work anyway

Why won't Bitwarden make its UI more eye pleasing and interesting, like Proton apps or Discord?

Hi just a quick question for anyone that may know this, is it possible to import passwords from NordPass into BitWarden password manager, thanks.

Curious if anyone that uses this feature is also experiencing this. For the past 5-7 days, I confirm the fingerprint phrase on the iPhone app with the latest Aug 7th update for my Mac/Win 10 or Win 11 computers running BW software, but it doesn’t do anything until I send & approve another fingerprint phrase.

The most I’ve had to do were 3 different requests. I’ve been using this method to login since October, 2025 without any issues whatsoever until now. Every device is running the latest software.

Can you bring back the old way in which user was able to open a login to edit by clicking on the login. The recent updates changed that. now clicking on it fills that login and now user have to clicking on 3 dots and click edit or replace that fill button to edit because you already made clicking on it means fill that login or at least add a setting to choose the behavior.

Chrome version:
Version 151.0.7922.138 (Official Build) (arm64)

Extension version:
2026.7.0

I use 3 different profiles in chrome and in every profile the bitwarden extension is installed, all of them are unusable.

I tried to remove the extension and install it back, didn't help

I'm going to set up 2FA to my BW vault and other websites.

I'm wondering if everyone just uses desktop TOTP while on their PC, instead of mobile TOTP.

I have several accounts that I no longer use and really don't see myself using them again. Debating on whether I should delete those accounts. When an account is deleted, what actually is deleted and do we really know for sure it is deleted? Guessing each site has their own policy on what happens when deleting accounts. I know people say to delete unused accounts in case of data breaches and to limit your exposure for privacy sake. But do sites actually delete the data? Do they keep a copy of the data in a backup somewhere? If so, can that copy still be leaked? If an account is deleted, like a forum for example, what is to stop someone from using my same name and impersonating me?

Kind of on same topic, If I do delete accounts, should personal info be changed to random info before deleting? On accounts that I keep, is it a bad idea to add random personal info? I realize that wouldn't be good for important sites like banking, insurance, government stuff but what about social sites and other non important sites?
