Hy,

In your opinion do you prefer Bitwarden or Proton Pass and why?

It seems proton pass have better integration with Firefox.

Good and bad?

Thanks.

There are issues with Firefox private browsing windows that don't happen in Chrome. Quoting their help article:

  • Your vault will lock every time the browser extension closes, unless you set vault timeout to Never.
  • Unlock with PIN will work only if the Lock with master password on browser restart option is not selected.
  • The badge icon will not update to show vault state (locked or unlocked).

Not huge issues, but definitely annoying on a daily basis.

I don't have experience with the second point but the other two don't happen to me; it works as it should.

Really? With Firefox in a Private browsing window - are you certain?

Here's mine, with the vault currently locked, but not showing any locked state (point 3):

And for point 1, just unlock the dropdown extension, exit the extension window, then click on the icon again. It will be re-locked when it shouldn't.

If you're really not seeing this, would you mind telling me how you fixed it?

I missed that you said in private tabs. I can reproduce it there but BW also says that private tabs support is still experimental when you try to do it.
