I found the domain I use by searching for {word}mail.com among expired domains (e.g. expireddomains.net) or new domains (e.g. https://leandomainsearch.com/search/?q=mail)


No need to feel dummy, I was about to ask the exact same question.

I get the desire to make the Bitwarden login more secure, but this is very likely to cause problems for users who don't have their email password memorized. 2FA already carries the burden of needing a backup if you lose your phone. This change means users will need to come up with an alternate way to log in to their email account. I'm not sure it's worth it.


Same with Brave and Firefox on desktop


It gets even more complicated if you use 2FA with your email provider.


I used to only use free services. Then a few shut down, so I started paying for services to help support them.

- Fastmail

- TickTick

- Bitwarden family

- Dynalist - Personal knowledge management

- Several servers & domains for self-hosting

- Laravel Forge - server management

- Hetrixtools - Uptime monitor

- Bunny.net - CDN

- Anonaddy - Email aliases

- Standard Notes


Just a note that the plugin is considered beta:

This reminds me of the Verizon debacle where the user couldn't convince the customer service reps that 0.002 cents is not the same as 0.002 dollars. It was hilarious to hear the phone calls, but would have been maddening to experience. Arguing with an AI about the year is funny, until it's you arguing with it after you were billed for an extra 10 months of service.


The details of this debacle are still available at https://verizonmath.blogspot.com/!
