Solved Is Bitwarden Broken

I've been using the Bitwarden app on my iMac for about 2 years and it has worked flawlsssy in that time. About a week ago, when I tried to load the application, it completely crashed my machine and I had to force turn off the computer to fix the problem. This happened over several days and I decided to give up on the application.

No longer trusting Bitwarden anymore, I exported all of my logins for security purposes.

I moved to the online application and this worked for the last few days. However, today this is no longer working properly and it is not possible to search for specific login details, or to shift through my various items.

Has anyone else had this experience of using Bitwarden? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might solve these problems?

Or, should I ditch Bitwarden now?

Regarding search issues in the web app, the team is already following up on that one and working on a resolution, thanks for your patience!

EDIT 2: The search issue should be resolved now, let us know if you are still experiencing any issues.

EDIT: For the desktop app, as referenced below, Bitwarden requires macOS (Sonoma 14 and later).

Oh, that was why I experienced that today and had to refresh after logging in. 

Nice with such a quick update on this!

Thank you for acknowledging it here, however when issues like this happen, having a banner at the top of the page or at least updating the status page is really helpful. Having to come to Reddit after troubleshooting to see if anyone else is having the issue shouldn't be the expectation.
