    I’ve recently switched from Firefox’ vault to bitwarden.

    I’d say it works 50% of the time. On desktop Firefox it just doesn’t manage to autofill things some days and I end up copy-pasting my credentials.

    On mobile is happy to present me with suggested logins for a page. If I have one, pick or generate one, then it’s all dandy. If I decide I’d rather not, then there’s no way out of that view. I end up force-killing Firefox mobile. Maybe the app works better than the browser extension.

      Mobile Firefox acts a bit weird around password managers for me. Chromium browsers seem to integrate much better (but they’re Chromium based so I prefer to avoid them).

      Firefox on Android also doesn’t support third party passkey providers for some reason. Works fine in just about any other app.

      Hell, I’ve even used the “sign in using your device” thing on Windows and it allowed my laptop to use the Bitwarden passkey on my phone over Bluetooth.

      I think password support in Firefox just needs some work. It’s annoying, but not annoying enough for me to stop using it.
