BitDefender erroneously blocking a site as 'malicious' though it's not?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I run my own password manager (via Bitwarden hosted on a server I control in the cloud) but BitDefender as of this morning began to flag my password manager as 'malicious' - it gave no reason and no information about why it just started flagging.

Is there a way to add an exception to the web protection or to reach out to Bitdefender team for details as to why it's suddenly flagging?

Hello.
Only the anti-malware researchers at Bitdefender Labs can help you with the issue.
You should report the URL(s) as false positive to Bitdefender Labs here:

Thanks @Gjoksi I've reported the false positive. It is infinitely hard to find that support document though. That could be improved by Bitdefender heh.
