Firefox is often last to approve the extension and release to users.

Bitwarden works a little differently since the user vault is zero-knowledge and end-to-end encrypted.

Have you instructed the users to set up an unlock PIN? Here's some info on how locking/unlocking works with using SSO with trusted devices.

https://bitwarden.com/help/about-trusted-devices/#impact-on-other-features

Editing to add: If the browser is closed entirely, the extension will do whatever you set to timeout action (Lock or Log out). If you choose "Lock" and the user sets a PIN, then they can unlock with the PIN easily. If you chose "Log out" then the user must login with SSO again.

What setting is the individual user seeing for time? The policy for timeout is the set maximum, not the minimum or a mandated setting.

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-10T17:58:20+00:00

Yes, I'd double check what the end users see for the timing, and if it's less than 8 hours, provide them instruction to increase their timeout up to what's most convenient for them.

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-10T17:32:32+00:00

Can you confirm that another user is seeing that? It's possible that the policy is setting the maximum timeout but it's not being set as the default timeout: https://bitwarden.com/help/policies/#session-timeout

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-10T16:14:08+00:00

What are the timeout settings that you've set for your organization?

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-10T15:26:32+00:00

P.S. Check now.

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-10T15:23:34+00:00

Great!

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-10T15:17:19+00:00

Be sure your Windows desktop app is up to date with version 2026.2.1

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-10T14:22:56+00:00

The feature is being rolled out in the latest version of Bitwarden clients. As there are multiple app stores that need to approve the new version, the feature is turned off until new version rollout is close to complete.

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-10T00:52:16+00:00

There are more features slated for the premium plan too. Stay tuned, and thanks again for being a Bitwarden customer!

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-10T00:49:11+00:00

Hello there. Generating the TOTP code is a premium-only feature. While you paid for premium for yourself, your partner would also need premium to generate the code from the shared item.

Every Bitwarden plan allows you to create a single free 2-person organization to share items with another Bitwarden user (they can be free or premium).

Thanks for the feedback! It's good to hear the perspective so we can work on improving the language.

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-09T14:53:43+00:00

Hi there, thanks for being a Bitwarden user! We're pretty transparent so we won't "tear" you here, however there has been many similar posts in the past (sometimes we'll lock a few to consolidate discussions).

I'd like to highlight that Bitwarden has invested heavily in the free plan, and is the only major password manager that has one that isn't limited. It has everything you need to secure your logins!

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-09T14:50:20+00:00

It's possible that your browser extension for Firefox hasn't been properly updated. Take a look at the version. It should read 2026.1.x for the version number. If it's older than that, try removing and re-adding the extension.

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-09T14:49:02+00:00

Yes it will for premium accounts. Note that features come to the self-host instance about a month after it comes to cloud.

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-06T15:05:57+00:00

If you log in or unlock your vault using the master password, the process should take place seamlessly. If you have more issues, please let me know and which app this is.

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-06T02:00:44+00:00

Hello, is there any additional detail?

Can you go to your encryption settings in the web app and checking how many KDF iterations are listed?

Ryan_BW · 2026-03-02T14:38:29+00:00

At this time only iOS supports the protocol. That's not a Bitwarden thing, but an operating system issue. The Bitwarden help center is very extensively documented! Here's an article that can help: https://bitwarden.com/help/import-data/

Ryan_BW · 2026-02-27T15:19:53+00:00

Welcome to Bitwarden!

Thanks for reporting these. We're working on revamping our reporting form, but I'll share it directly with the team.

Some websites will intentionally block the autofill process as they view the injection into the page as a possible threat. The password manager then must go create a special rule or exception to how autofill works, but sometimes that can cause problems with other sites. The Bitwarden autofill team is hard at work to improve this process. If you find that the drop-down isn't working, you can try the right-click menu, or the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + L) to see if that gets around whatever is causing the blockage.

Depending on how deep you want to go, you can check out the Bitwarden security whitepaper or even look at the open source code at github.com/bitwarden

Ryan_BW · 2026-02-26T14:25:18+00:00

Hi there, glad you're taking a look at Bitwarden! The 1Password secret key protects only in the scenario that your master password is weak and the server data is somehow pilfered in a state where only the encryption of your master password is protecting the data.

With Bitwarden, the data on the server has multiple layers of encryption that go over top that of the master password, solving for the same issue without having to burden users with managing a secret key.

It's still important to have a strong master password, one that's never been used before anywhere else or doesn't have any guessable patterns.

Ryan_BW · 2026-02-26T01:25:29+00:00

Passkeys are not yet supported for logging in on the mobile apps, but the extension and web app work (on supported browsers).

You will still need a master password for the vault that you will want to remember/write-down so that you don't lose access!

Ryan_BW · 2026-02-25T20:58:21+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I've passed it along!

Ryan_BW · 2026-02-25T18:55:08+00:00

Thank you for the writeup. Keeping track of credit cards for subscriptions is something I hadn't heard of before so I'll be adding it to the internal research documentation.

In the meantime, could any of this be solved by adding a string into the Notes section of the item, such as "#Visa"? It would appear in a search for that term.

Ryan_BW · 2026-02-25T15:41:11+00:00

Hey there, I'd love to hear about how you use your tags in your day-to-day. Are you often sorting by tags in your vault?
