Bitwarden Safari extension disappeared after updating to Bitwarden 1.25.0 (516) #1696

I can confirm that I am having the same issue. I am aware that Apple is only allowing Safari extensions from App Store apps now (per the note in the Bitwarden docs). I uninstalled my brew version via To make sure I wasn't picking up some leftover version of Bitwarden somehow, I then tried manually deleting Bitwarden Note that in each case, I quit Safari and restarted it after running Bitwarden and logging in. I then tried rebooting to see if that shook anything loose, but no such luck. Environment:

Update: I got a Safari update tonight that updated to Version 14.0.3 (15610.4.3.1.7, 15610) and when it started up it detected the extension! I doubt it is the version itself that fixed it (since @AronDerenyi was already on that version), but perhaps the act of updating Safari made it re-detect extensions? |
|
@AronDerenyi is the application installed through the Mac App Store or by downloading the dmg or some other method? Unfortunately we are only able to distribute the updated extension through the Mac App Store, https://bitwarden.com/help/article/install-safari-app-extension/. |
|
Updated my bitwarden to 1.25.0 (516) via the Mac App Store today and it is no longer appearing on Safari 14.0.3 with MacOS 10.15.7 |
|
@Hinton I installed it through the .dmg and it automatically updated itself. |
|
Today I installed the App Store version which replaced the .dmg version (it was still installed). Safari was open the whole time and when the installation finished, the extension reappeared (although it has a different icon and a square-ish bubble when clicked on). Edit: Safari asked me to give permission to the App Store version to access websites which I thought was weird because the .dmg version never asked me that. |
|
Did a couple reinstalls this morning, switching between the .dmg and the App Store. Nothing got Safari to include the extension. |
|
Just did another reinstall cycle and I got the bitwarden extension to appear. I had to re-enable the permissions in Safari's extension preference tab. |

App Extension still not showing for me: Screenshot of about sections: https://imgur.com/p7WOQUp |
That's the same I had to do. Running the appstore version of Bitwarden. Actually, I had to do that more often in lately, even before the 1.25.0 version. Is Apple playing tricks on us here? |
Did you install it through the App Store or from the .dmg? |

App Sore

I’m running Mac OS X 10.13.6 with Safari 13.1.2 (13609.3.5.1.5) - the latest available for this old faithful MBP. But I have no browser extension. I’ve turned it off and then turned it on again. No change. It doesn’t show. |
|
For me Bitwarden is no longer on Apples App Store |
|
I'm running MacOS Big Sur Version 11.2.3, Safari Version 14.0.3, and I updated to Bitwarden version 1.25.1. As soon as I updated Bitwarden, my Safari extension disappeared. I emailed the developer, and was told they are working on the problem. They also sent me the link to this page. I didn't really want to uninstall, re-install, etc. so I started looking around. I opened Bitwarden and signed in. I clicked on Bitwarden in the menu bar, then preferences, then options. I hope I have explained this well enough. I'm not hugely technical, but can manage (mostly). |

UPDATE. I've used OnyX to clear caches and other system junk, rebooted and, suddenly, BitWarden extension reappeared in Safari. I'm happy, but have no idea what exactly helped. For me it just suddenly disappeared from Safari and nothing I tried (reinstallations, setting additional options in BW itself) helped. I now have to manually copy/paste logins and password from the app, which is very inconvenient. I could also use Chrome or Firefox instead of Safari, but Safari is my main browser of choice. macOS Big Sur 11.2.3, BW 1.25.1 (App Store) |
|
I have an interesting observation. I previously reported on the same issue as most others here. Bitwarden would not show as an available extension in Safari on most recent OS and Bitwarden install. Another user suggested installing Safari Tech Preview and trying. To my surprise the extension worked for it as expected. The odd behavior was the extension was now available in regular Safari. This was all accomplished all while leaving Bitwarden installed. I then deleted Safari Tech Preview and Bitwarden is now still active in Safari. If you need me to provide anything let me know. |
|
I had the same issue with extension disappearing in Safari 14.0.3. I Installed the Tech Preview and immediately after the installation finished I was prompted that a new extension was available in the regular Safari so It resolved the problem, so weird. |
|
We've had several folks confirm that running Onyx to clean up cache has resolved this issue. @AronDerenyi if you'd like to give it a try. |

I've just closed a number of duplicate threads that were some version of this issue - i.e. the Safari extension disappearing after an upgrade or spontaneously. Anyone experiencing this issue might find those discussions useful. Common suggestions include:

I wanted to also give an update on this issue since I've been tracking it for a while. I suspect the root cause of this problem is an issue in the Launch Services in MacOS, there are multiple articles suggesting that the Launch Services database can sometimes get corrupted and not behave correctly. Unfortunately this is an OS level service and not something we can handle on our side. @eliykat mentioned the current work-arounds, and I wanted to add another. The following command should rebuild the Launch Services database, and worked on my machine.
Note the machine may temporarily slow down and finder can take a moment to become responsive while it rebuilds the database again. |
|
In my case BW extension is gone from one of the accounts (it is still available on other one I have on the same machine). No workaround works anymore. BW safari extension disappeared out of the blue one day - no system update nor anything major I am aware - just gone after restarting Safari. I have some other Safari extensions I use and they just work - it is only BW which likes to disappear. I am happy to provide any additional info (logs etc.) to help to track this issue - as mentioned one of my macOS accounts has this issue right now so hopefully some logs can show why it is not loading. |
This does not make any difference in my case. @Hinton - is there any logfile I could check to see what is failing and why it does not load? |
|
Update/fix coming in bitwarden/desktop#1128 👍 |
|
FYI: Same Here as per previous message. Got message to update to latest version from App Store. After update extension is gone. Safari 15.1 |
|
Same problem here. the lsregister -kill ... command does not work |
|
Same problem here. Was working perfectly fine before upgrading to the latest biwarden today. Sigh, was hoping I wouldn't have to install Edge on my shiny new mac |
|
Same problem |
|
Same problem |
|
Same here, but still on Big Sur (was holding of on Monterey to avoid these issues), so the issue is definitely with Bitwarden. |
|
Same happened today after update. |
|
So far, no alerts to upgrade mine yet (on Monterey). Seems like the wise choice is don't. More and more I have come to rely on letting Safari manage my passwords instead. Swore I would not return to a browser centric solution, but it just works better. |
it is only choice when you rely on BW - exactly what I do with BW being my main secrets repository on other browsers and platforms. I have removed BW extension from Safari long time ago - there is no point to count on it here. For a year+ BW guys can't make it work reliably on Safari. Clearly design decisions they made put them in cold water with Safari. Other extensions I use work 100% all the time - no issues. It is not easy task to provide cross platform software and sometimes users have to live with some imperfections. Especially when it is free or close to free. |
|
I'm on Monterey as well, but unfortunately I have automatic updates turned on. |
|
1.29.1 has been release and should be available in the app store soon (pending apple review). |
|
1.29.1 is available in the app store now - and so far so good. all works. BW is back in Safari. |
|
The 1.29.1 is immediately recognised by Safari. Looks good but need to authenticate again with the YubiKey. |
|
1.29.1 update solved my issues on MacOS Monterrey 12.0.1 on M1 Pro Mac
|
1.29.1 fixed the issue for me as well |
|
Bitwarden 1.29.1 has NOT fixed a missing extension issue in Safari for me. Safari 15.1 |
|
@djw2 also had problems with the latest update (first time for me). Refreshing LaunchServices database did the trick: No idea why the extension disappeared in the first place though |
This is exactly what fixed my issue today. I ran this, restarted Safari, and then was prompted that the BitWarden extension was available to enable. Thank you @fabiopicchi ! |
Thanks @fabiopicchi ! Worked here as well on Mac OS Monterey 12.3 running BitWarden Version 1.32.0 (2445). |
* Add `Organization_SponsorshipsSynced` event type. Update events display to handle events triggered by installations rather than users * Update jslib
|
FYI: I've no idea why this happened either, but used the freeware OnyX.app to rebuild the launch services data base, reboot, re-install BitWarden app, and extension (and another one also that went missing) now show up and are working properly... |
and others
The Bitwarden Safari extension stopped working after I updated it to version 1.25.0 (516).
Steps To Reproduce
Expected Result
The extension still working.
Actual Result
The extension disappeared from the toolbar and the settings. Even after reinstalling Bitwarden and rebooting the extension doesn't show up. The app itself works only the extension disappeared.
I have experienced the same behaviour on two machines so it's not a single incident.
