This would be very useful to me, to be able to see when a login was created, last used, or modified. All useful information to help with managing the hundreds of logins that I have. Would allow me to see the most used or unused items that perhaps could be removed or updated!
Just echoing what others have said. After moving over from Lastpass, and needing to change all my hundreds of passwords, Iād like to be able to sort by last modified time as I work through my list.
While the post is definitely appreciated by most propeller-headed geeks, 99.999% of the general public will never understand, let alone type in, that command.
Weāre not trying to land a rocket on a spinning asteroid⦠weāre trying to sort a list⦠computer science basic-level 101.
Should not take months, or years to implement.
One of the most wanted and needed features. This topic started in 2018, 5 years later itās still missing.
This is the reason why Iām still using 1Password.
Is it that difficult and time consuming to add a sorting function on several criteria?
Same here! I will run out my Bitwarden license again and switch to 1P as long this essential feature is missing.
Thanks all the team is looking at adding sorting to web vault as an initial roll out, thanks for the feedback!
Yup, I switched from 1Password for probably the same reasons as others, but did not register that I couldnāt really sort. Isnāt this a no-brainer? The data is even in there, it just needs to be made usable for sorting. For all the reasons others suggested (finding a new item, finding older items, etc.).
Thatās weird, some places it sorts, some places it doesnāt:
For example: (Firefox plugin V.2023.4.0)
Vault:
Favorites ⦠sorted OK
Types, Logins ⦠sorted OK
Types, Secure notes ⦠sorted OK
Folders ⦠sorted OK
Items in folders ⦠sorted OK
Tab: (on page with more logins) ⦠not sorted
Items in search result anywhere ⦠not sorted
Be able to sort by categories including date added (chronologically), recently used, alphabetical,ā¦
Also automatically open a card if it was just created, or change the sort to recent when a new password is created.
For all the love of whatās good and right, why is this not solved after 5 YEARS???!!!
I do not claim to be a coder or a developer but Iām far from a noob in IT and I do not for the life of me understand how such a popular (and seemingly simple) feature canāt be implemented in 5 years time.
Please get his done. Do yāall need money?
Indeed, itās been two more months since the latest response of a team member. Howās the current planing/ETA? Itās slowly become a bad jokeā¦
I was hoping to move from the password manager Iāve been using. I intended to use the paid bitwarden service. However, because this feature doesnāt exist and hasnāt been added in so many years, Iāll be paying for my old password manager for a few more years. I hope that in three years when I come back, the story will be different.
This could solve this feature also :
I have just switched to Bitwarden from 1Password, but am now wondering if I made the right move. Like others here, Iām very surprised that this very obvious feature is still only āplannedā on the roadmap after 5 years. Particularly as features with 2 orders of magnitude fewer votes are in progress or implemented.
I work in IT and have a LOT of different logins for the same sites. So when I come to log into one of these sites Iām presented with what seems to be a random ordering of the list of options in the browser plugin (possibly with the most recent at the top but itās hard to tell!). At least if the order was consistent I would get used to where each entry sits on the list, but instead Iām reduced to scrolling up and down in the hope of spotting the one I want. And searching doesnāt help - that switches me to the vault tab, so when I click on the item I was searching for it opens it instead of filling it in the web page.
So in terms of usability Iām finding Bitwarden pretty frustrating!
I note that the intention is to implement sorting first in the web vault. Itās a start, I guess, but I need it in the browser plugins so I can actually start using Bitwarden for itās intended purpose without getting frustrated.
Thereās a lot to like about Bitwarden but there are several usability issues that need fixing for it to compete effectively with other products. And usability is why I switched from the annoying version 8 of 1Password in the first place
I do so agree, after all, its only in essence a database. I canāt think of another database anywhere in this world that canāt be sorted!
My company has resorted to a custom app using the CLI to create a Password Revision Report so our staff can quickly see what password have not been changed recently.
Unfortunately Bitwarden has flagged this traffic and blacklisted our public IP, so now none of my users can login. And I am stuck dealing with L1 support asking me to update my browser!
As an interim work-around, please note that when you have opened an item by clicking it in the search results, there is an Auto-fill button at the bottom of the displayed item information.
Thanks grb, thatās helpful, although I have given up on the idea of searching for the entry I want - it usually turns up multiple results so Iām still left scrolling up and down to find the right one.
Bitwardenās search is not the best, but there are some tricks to using it more effectively. If you would like assistance with this, I would encourage you to start a thread in the Ask the Community Forum.
Why is there still no sorting option?
LastPass has offered this feature for years! I used LastPass for a long time but got nervous with all the security breaches so I switched to BitWarden. Unfortunately, BW is not nearly as user-friendly!
