I’ve just started using Bitwarden with the Firefox extension and I’ve noticed that when I go to unlock the vault my password is pre-filled as shown below.
Is this normal? I wouldn’t expect the extension to store the password for my vault locally like this, as far as I can tell, Firefox hasn’t cached the password. This does not feel very secure to me as it would mean that my master password is stored on my PC somewhere.
I agree, I had the same issue before figuring it out. Lockwise isn’t the issue for you Dylan. Just a comment on Lockwise, I used it too, but it was quite glitchy. And of course it doesn’t generate passwords.
So disabling Lockwise has stopped Firefox from populating the extension so I think this is clearly a Firefox issue and not Bitwarden. Not sure why Firefox picked up the password but isn’t showing me where it’s stored it though. Weird.
More or less. I have to use “KEE” as second password manager extension and KEE automaticaly disables the integrated firefox password manager if activated and re-activates it if disabled, Bitwarden doesn’t do this?
