Cons
Con No Linux support
Con Lack PIN unlocking on desktop
Unlocking the desktop application (at least in Windows) lacks simple PIN unlocking. The other options are interesting, but not as PIN for most users.
Con Passwords that aren't linked to URL or executables are manage with memos (notes)
The way Sticky Password manage passwords that are free of URL or applications isn't obvious. It necessary to write these in memos. Memos are managed in a way where it's too easy to modify them by mistakes. You could end up with a broken password...
Con Not user-friendly
Some features like capture of login into a web page are really simple and most of the time really efficient too. But, as soon as a login scheme become a bit complex, handling exception will causes killing headaches to common users. That's only one exemple, but there's many situations where that super cool passwords managers totally needs to be redesign.
Con Password generator only uses 8 special characters !@#$%^&*
Whereas a desktop keyboard has 30+ special characters. This greatly reduces the possible passwords that can be generated.
Con Unable to remove duplicates
If you import more than one times, it will store its duplicates and there is no duplicate remover on these apps.
Con Passwords cards can be tricky for newbies
The fields can be difficult to understand for newbies. For example, some login pages can add a field for the password name differently at the same time as the password's field will contain a password. When changing the password, they sometime end corresponding and can give headaches to some users.
Con Cloud-based
You're storing your passwords on servers and you have to trust them.
Con Cannot update data while offline
Requires Internet connection.
Con Saving new credentials isn't as easy as it should be
When registering on a new site, Bitwarden pops up a button to ask if you'd like to save credentials (as most equivalent products do). But the button disappears VERY quickly, so often requires manual entry of passwords
Con Input of new login needs a 'signed-up with e-mail = 'example@wherever.org' functionality
Often sites won't be able to reset your password if the corresponding e-mail used in sign-up is unknown.
Con Lack of communication between instance opened in one session
If you use the client's desktop's app, multiple browsers extensions; they all work almost totally independently. Using more RAM as database is opened each time and asking for login more often. Some other passwords managers use desktop's client to open the database and extensions communicate with it in this case. If there's no desktop's, they'll work as standalone extensions.
Con The autofill sucks
The autofill is tedious - many clicks/taps required to trigger it. It doesn't help that the extension is slow to open.
Con Cannot store images of ID card, etc
Attachments available in premium.
Con Web browser extension doesn't recognise login required
User has to scroll/search for web site login details as it is not found automatically.
Con Doesn't autofill 2FA in pass fields
