I’m transitioning to Bitwarden having been using a hodgepodge of Firefox and Google password management. I’m gradually trying to de-google anyway and I’ve got a bit frustrated with the Firefox Android password manager (fine on desktop, often doesn’t offer to generate passwords on mobile).

Do people have any tips for how to get the most out of Bitwarden on Android? I’ve done these things:

  • Switched the main Auto-fill setting over (and enabled auto-fill in Bitwarden)
  • Disabled Firefox’s password management
  • Turned off “Offer to save passwords” and “auto sign-in” in Google Password Manager
  • Turned off Privacy->Use auto-fill with Google

Is there anything else I should do? Is there a Bitwarden equivalent to everything you could do with the Google services? E.g. some apps said “Google Smart Lock” and they don’t appear to do anything now.

    I’ve found one of the best things I did was to enable biometric sign in. Sometimes the auto fill option doesn’t come up, and having the app accessible and with a very quick sign in helps tremendously. I also try to add a key word for sites as well, as it’s quicker to search sometimes. Oh, and changed to a passphrase, because they’re cooler

    No offence to Bitwarden, I used them for a year, but it’s pretty bare bones.

    I use 1Password which is a much better, feature rich manager. And it works on all devices including Linux.
