Hey @grb ,
We’re excited to ship this beta, but this is not a production grade release. Let me be as transparent as possible.
What exactly does the
Bitwarden-Beta-2025.10.2-x64.appxartefact install? Is it a beta version of the Bitwarden Desktop app
It installs a separate application on your computer, named “Bitwarden Beta”. If you don’t want that Beta version on your machine anymore, you should be able to uninstall it as normal
However, since this is a Beta version that is built straight from our development branch (PR) it has not gone through our QA process and is being built automatically from code that is being pushed in active development. There are no guarantees that things will uninstall cleanly.
what type of “data-loss” could occur if installing this beta build.
Again, this code has not gone through quality testing. We may include code that logs sensitive information to logfiles on your system, or we may write code that ends up corrupting data in the vault. While that normally doesn’t happen - this beta does not come with the guardrails and guarntees our official releases does.
