Problem with password generator - Password Manager - Bitwarden Community Forums
October 11, 2024 - Default options don’t seem to save for me using the PC app. In fact, it defaults to a single hyphen (-) and i need to go through all the preferences, then refresh to get the new password. I’m 99% of the time doing this from the window where I’m creating a new item, but I just tested the generator on its own and the same thing happens.

Password generator popup broken? - Password Manager - Bitwarden Community Forums
December 27, 2024 - Creating a new login or changing a password, an autocomplete popup appears giving you the option to use a newly generated random password. Select it, and it correctly fills the password and password confirmation fields, but it does not copy the password to the clipboard, it does not recognize that new login credentials have been generated, and doesn’t track the password in the password generator history, either.

Copying generated passwords not working properly - Password Manager - Bitwarden Community Forums
January 14, 2023 - So, back story: I am a LastPass refugee. I switched to Bitwarden back in August of last year, right around the time LastPass had one of their security breaches. Then I found out that they had another breach that exposed all their customers’ vaults. Since the revelations, I’ve been changing the passwords on all accounts I have.

r/Bitwarden on Reddit: Password generator not working! Help!
April 18, 2021 -
So, I decided to start using bitwarden today because I thought it would be more secure way of storing passwords.
I just went ahead and changed a few passwords using the generator... now I'm locked out of a few accounts because when re-sign in, the password is invalid. After creating a new password, I updated it in Bitwarden. What the heck is happening?
Thank you.

If you had them saved in Bitwarden before changing the passwords then you can scroll down to the bottom of the entry and view the password history to see your old password.

You have to change the password manually on the websites also. Bitwarden can't reach inside 3rd party sites to set your new password.

Yes. Broken. Not going to do the reinstall. They need to fix this.

It's broken for me on Chrome as well. I'm not going to reinstall it. I'll wait if they fix it with a patch. This will be a great test whether I should migrate my wife over. Releasing an update like this and then not fixing it instantly is unacceptable.
