Cons
Con Mobile app pricing is per platform
You have to pay for each mobile platform you run it on (iOS, Android), which can add up. However, these are one time charges and ultimately cheaper than subscriptions.
Con Developed in India
Con Not open source
Giving sensitive data to proprietary software is a bad idea.
Con Free mobile version very limited
Up to 20 passwords only.
Con Can't have more than one password data file (e.g. work passwords can't be separate from home on same machine)
Enpass only allows one password database. You can't have one Enpass database for work, with it's own master password, and then another separate Enpass database for home.
Enpass for Windows and Linux allows you to change the default location of Enpass database.
Con Crashes
Crashes while organizing about 200 passwords into categories.
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.
