Phishing "protection" -- notion.so

Hi all, this morning I tried to start work to be hit by this screen while trying to access Notion:

This is on Vivaldi browser, upon reducing the window width it became a phishing attack warning dialog. I can’t show that because the forum system prevents new users from adding a second media element.

I searched the forum but don’t see any other mentions of this, but it’s one of the most popular apps on the web and it’s blocked by Bitwarden because they silently activated a phishing protection feature without my consent or knowledge. Am I really the only one affected? It’s extremely disappointing this wasn’t tested. To pre-empt a certain response: yes, BW is responsible, not whatever URL database they chose to use.

+1
”notion.so” is in the “Anti Phising database”
Making it worse, I can’t even allow the website, it just reloads and throws me to the blocked screen again.

@Odaeus @HasX Welcome to the forum!

Seems like Bitwarden already reported this as a false positive to their used phishing database:

PS: The “Phishing Blocker” can be disabled in the browser extension (Settings → Account security → Phishing Blocker).

For some reason, I cannot get that site to trigger any phishing warning for me, so perhaps the problem has been fixed (even though the Github issue is still open)…     :eyes:

Strangely I don’t see this option in the Browser Extension settings?

@grb I also didn’t see the phishing warning. – But I also don’t have a notion account and could only try email autofill (successfully). :thinking:

@Charlie_Cuez The Phishing Blocker needs browser extension 2026.1.0 (and probably also server version 2026.1.1) – is your browser extension on 2026.1.0 and/or are you self-hosting with an older server version?

Hm. I think the Phishing Blocker was disabled temporarily by Bitwarden. (probably some changes they want to implement before it gets re-enabled)

For those who need evidence for my theory: it’s not visible in the browser extensions Settings anymore, and was also removed from the Release Notes 2026.1.1.

Can confirm it has disappeared from the extension settings for me. I think you’re right. Not very professional at all to do this without comms of any kind.

Hey all, this feature will be re-enabled soon, thanks for checking in!
