Bitwarden chrome extension blocked by google family link

I’ve had bitwarden extension installed on chrome (on windows 11). Once I signed with my child account, which has enabled family link control of chrome browser, I am unable to activate extension on this chrome profile.
I can see extension is installed, but clicking on enable switch does nothing.

Now this is suboptimal. I want to have browsing of my child restricted by family link, but I also want it to use bitwarden for password management.

I have found some information that google allows only some specific extensions on chrome os to run How to install Chrome Extensions on your child's Chromebook under Family Link

Also same problem, but with different extenstion Can I use Chrome extensions when using Google's Family Link? - The Big Tech Question

Is there a how to enable bitwarden extention in my scenario?
Can bitwarden itself do something about it?

Well thanks for the alternatives, but family link does what I expect it to do on pc and android phones.
In this case, I think bitwarden as developer of extension could do something to be allowed in family link.

Somehow, I doubt that will be possible, especially since Google is not likely to approve a direct competitor to Google Password Manager. But if you want to suggest to Bitwarden to take some action, it is probably best to submit a feature request:
