The updates logged on the page say that the company has been investigating the issue, and worked with its upstream provider to resolve it. You may track the status of the web vault's outage at this page on Bitwarden's site. Cloudflare's status page says some servers are being rerouted, but I'm not sure if the two issues are related. Well, clearly the issue has resurfaced, as I ran into it today. One of the developers had cleared the air by stating that there was an issue with the service, and that the Cloudflare URL that is used by Bitwarden was visible to users during the outage. A discussion at the Bitwarden community forums indicates that this issue actually began 2 days ago (February 7th, 2023). But, the error that was displayed said, "Sorry, you have been blocked. The URL of the web vault that I accessed was correct, i.e. These attacks directed users to web pages that were in fact meticulously designed clones of Bitwarden's web vault, only these were malicious in nature and stole the username and password given by the users. It's also worth noting that scammers were (possibly still are) targeting Bitwarden users (and 1Password users) via phishing campaigns in subtly-placed ads on Google's search results.
Who could blame them for panicking given the recent LastPass data breach and Norton Password Manager brute force attacks? But when a cloud-based password manager goes offline, even if it is a partial outage, it is only natural that users get a little bit concerned about it. This should not be a big issue for most people, since Bitwarden's apps and extensions were working fine, you would rarely need to rely on the web vault, for example to change your account settings, password, etc. The above image is from my computer, and you can see that I was logged into the web extension, which obviously is accessed via the same browser and IP address. But a screenshot posted by another user got me curious, and when I tried to open the web vault, it gave me an error too. I came across a few complaints from users that they were unable to access Bitwarden on the web, but I thought it was just downtime caused by some routine maintenance on the server.
The issue affected all users, though the password manager service's apps and extensions were unaffected.īitwarden's web vault goes down due to server issues Quote:Bitwarden's web vault suffered an outage today.
