Bitwarden is showing twice in context menu in Safari - Tahoe 26.2.1 and 26.4

Hello,

Bitwarden appears twice in the context menu on Safari in macOS Tahoe 26.2.1 and 26.3.

It looks like an entry was made to Github, by another poster and they were directed here. I did a search here and didn’t see this, so I’m posting it.

That post is here: state:open label:browser. bitwarded is showing twice in context menu. if deselecting from settings then it takes away both but if selected it shows both. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extention and the app. · Issue #17469 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub

I’m seeing this too. It’s been the case for at least a year, in fact, across multiple machines (including brand new ones).

I even get a Bitwarden context menu on pages that have no login info at all, so when there are login fields I get two of them.

What I’m in a login field, I see this:

Hi there, if you visit Settings > Extension, is it showing 2 versions of Bitwarden installed?

DreadPirateRob · March 10, 2026, 1:49pm

At work now but I’ll look when I get home. Are you referring to the Extension is Safari or the desktop app?

In Safari settings menu, thanks!

It only appears once in Safari - Settings - Extensions.

It also only appears once in the Applications folder.

Thanks, can you confirm if the issue persists after reinstalling the desktop app?

Uninstalled Bitwarden (Applications - Move to Trash), rebooted.

Reinstalled Bitwarden.

Issue remains. To instances of Bitwarden in drop down menu.

This is also happening on my machine. I have uninstalled the Bitwarden macOS app, confirmed that the Safari extension is disabled and that context menus do not contain Bitwarden items, then reinstalled the macOS app (standalone installer) and the duplicate Bitwarden items return.

Note that the context menu shown when just right clicking on the background includes a single Bitwarden item, it’s only the context menu for clicking on input elements that has a duplicate.
