I love and use Bitwarden daily.
There something I don't understand. How does one use Bitwarden daily? It generates, remembers and autofill passwords, right? I rarely enter a password anywhere. What am I missing? Please educate me.
There are certain sites which terminate your sessions after a while. For example, banking sites or most government portals. In such situations, the auto fill function is very handy.
Also the fact that if you use a shared machine at all to login, it's best practice to intentionally log out of everything, and clear cookies/cache when you're done.
Like the other commenter said, I use it for sites that tend to sign me out after a few hours. I also use it for work things that sign out every session.
I auto wipe cookies all on every browser close so that gets more use.
Way way late to this, but I'll also say: Firefox and other privacy-focused browsers have an option to delete all of your browsing history and cookies when you close the browser, which also logs you out of anything you were using. It's a good practice if you're being mindful of how much tracking data you are letting be collected from you.
I knew about Bitwarden, but I thought how could a cloud based thing be truly open source, but they actually do have their backend on GitHub ๐คฏ
I also love bitwarden daily ;)
