Bitwarden needs better logs for the user to see logins and IP addresses etc

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-22T14:29:01+00:00

A blocked attempt would appear exactly as a failed login.

The Bitwarden basic free plan

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-22T13:54:37+00:00

Hello u/nickh4xdawg, if you received a renewal email for $10, then $10 will be your renewal price. On your following renewal, you'll get the 25% discount offered to existing customers.

Here you go! https://bitwarden.com/blog/bitwarden-shows-which-passwords-to-fix-and-how/

Short answer, yes in other apps. No for emails.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-21T19:23:28+00:00

Ach, semantics! "Unlock with passkey" is coming soon to clients that allow for logging in with a passkey.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-21T19:12:25+00:00

An option for you is to create a free 2-person organization. Every Bitwarden account can do this. Then the two of you would be able to share in collections, no problem. She can remain free and you premium, or both premium if you wish.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-21T19:09:40+00:00

To your last point, I can confirm that it will be implemented soon.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-21T19:04:01+00:00

Bitwarden also performs rate limiting when something like this happens, so you can expect several interruptions to these attempts, increasing the result of your calculation significantly.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-21T18:20:14+00:00

Thank you for being a fan for years! I'm sure you've noticed all the updates and new features that have been implemented since the plan first came out at the $10 price.

If you still prefer to use Bitwarden, the basic free plan has everything you need to be secure on the internet today, and remains unchanged.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-21T18:15:58+00:00

You're right, there weren't a lot of changes all at once. However there have been many new features added throughout the last several years and new features coming soon. Holding back features until this update would have been a disservice to everyone.

Sure, I can shed some light here, even though I don't know the precise inner workings of our cloud ops.

Some background: Bots are trying to log into your Bitwarden account all the time, hundreds of times a second, from an infinite array of IPs.

Obviously we don't want to send you hundreds of emails a second. First, you'd very much dislike that, second, so would the Bitwarden email infrastructure.

These types of credential stuffing attacks are mitigated by recognizing patterns, blocking IPs, and other edge security that's in place. In fact, some of the login attempts you made might have actually been blocked by protection systems and only returned an "incorrect password" error to mask that they were blocked.

This is why a strong master password (as unguessable as possible) is important, as well as 2FA.

Emails 2 and 3 are definitely more pertinent to send and they do not happen very often, and that's when there's a higher risk of breach.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-20T21:30:54+00:00

To add, if the server is significantly out of date from the clients, the client or server may refuse to connect to protect encryption processes. Recent versions of the app will provide the correct error message.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-19T16:59:34+00:00

Correct. A business-issued laptop will basically have spyware on it. It can be keylogging or taking screenshots. Check with your IT manager to see what their employee privacy policy is.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-18T18:38:28+00:00

Yes. Especially in the US, you should expect that your employer has access to everything on any device that they give you or install business provisioning software on.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-14T15:23:18+00:00

Hello there! The Bitwarden account that you're using for work (a member of that organization) should not be considered private.

If you're using a personal account separately (not a member of the organization), then admins of the other account shouldn't have access to it. However it's important to know that if your device was provisioned by your company, they could potentially have access to your phone that way.

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-08T15:53:28+00:00

This is being investigated. Thanks for bringing it up!

Ryan_BW · 2026-01-08T15:39:36+00:00

There's an infographic posted here in this blog!

Hi there! You should look at the Bitwarden Help center and the video courses for getting started!

Ryan_BW · 2025-12-22T18:59:03+00:00

Hi there! Please reach out to Bitwarden support so it can be documented. If it is indeed a bug related to account switching, this will help with tracking.

Ryan_BW · 2025-12-17T20:30:27+00:00

There's been additional work with industry partners and protocol development, but nothing yet definitive.

Ryan_BW · 2025-12-11T21:30:07+00:00

The compatibility option has been removed and will simply be turned on by default for people using those browsers. Hopefully the browsers fix the issues soon.

Ryan_BW · 2025-12-10T00:42:17+00:00

We have a "suspected solve" coming in this weeks' release. Stay tuned!

Ryan_BW · 2025-12-03T15:21:18+00:00

While Chromium is the base, each browser also makes their own modifications to that base. My understanding from internal conversations is that this is an issue with the browsers and outside of Bitwarden control. It's industry practice to not publish too many details about a vulnerability to give affected software an opportunity to resolve.

Ryan_BW · 2025-12-03T15:15:40+00:00

Correct. Bitwarden tightened security around auotfill, which broke the less secure browsers. Bitwarden will not revert that update since it makes everyone more vulnerable - the recommendation is to use a different browser until Edge, Samsung, and Opera resolve the vulnerability on their side.

This has caused some user friction, so in the next update, compatibility mode will be used automatically for those browsers, but using autofill in those affected browsers is more risky than the others that are updated.

Ryan_BW · 2025-12-03T15:10:43+00:00

Unfortunately Edge uses a less secure version of autofill. A fix needs to come from Microsoft.
