Hy,

In your opinion do you prefer Bitwarden or Proton Pass and why?

It seems proton pass have better integration with Firefox.

Good and bad?

Thanks.

Bitwarden isn’t a brand new solution. I don’t understand the comment in Firefox, though, Bitwarden has no issues with it that I’ve found.

I've used Bitwarden heavily in various browsers and Android. It's really great and very effective at filling in passwords. Every now and then there's a site that does something weird to make it autofill a bit wonky, but I can only recall seeing that happen with registration forms (sometimes the enter + confirm your password fields seem to confuse it). It's near perfect at sign in forms that I've used.

There are issues with Firefox private browsing windows that don't happen in Chrome. Quoting their help article:

  • Your vault will lock every time the browser extension closes, unless you set vault timeout to Never.
  • Unlock with PIN will work only if the Lock with master password on browser restart option is not selected.
  • The badge icon will not update to show vault state (locked or unlocked).

Not huge issues, but definitely annoying on a daily basis.

I don't have experience with the second point but the other two don't happen to me; it works as it should.

Really? With Firefox in a Private browsing window - are you certain?

Here's mine, with the vault currently locked, but not showing any locked state (point 3):

And for point 1, just unlock the dropdown extension, exit the extension window, then click on the icon again. It will be re-locked when it shouldn't.

If you're really not seeing this, would you mind telling me how you fixed it?

I missed that you said in private tabs. I can reproduce it there but BW also says that private tabs support is still experimental when you try to do it.

To be honest, also Proton Pass is pretty new
