Bitwarden, the trusted leader in password, secrets, and passkey management, has redesigned its password manager browser extension, delivering performance and user experience improvements. The new browser extension features a modern interface with faster navigation, clearer organization, and smoother workflows. These improvements enhance usability, making it easier for individuals and businesses to manage passwords across platforms.

New features like integrated search and filters, compact mode, and an expanded notes field ensure the extension meets diverse user needs effectively.

Key improvements include:

Modern design: Updated colors, fonts, and layout provide a cleaner, more consistent look.
Streamlined search and autofill: The search field now activates immediately upon opening, and a new Fill button makes autofilling credentials more prominent and accessible.
Enhanced navigation: The Launch Website button has been relocated to the main action bar for one-click access. A redesigned New dropdown simplifies adding different item types, an expanded notes field allows easier management of longer entries, and the Item view has been reorganized with clearer headings and updated labels for improved readability.
Flexible customization options: New features like compact mode, light and dark themes, and adjustable width accommodate different user preferences, ensuring a more personalized experience.
Simplified copy functionality: A unified copy menu streamlines copying credentials, providing a cleaner layout and improved discoverability.
Persistent filters: Vault filters save preferences between sessions.
