Bitdefender Password Manager (v1.3.0) on Android 14 not functional

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi all,

I recently purchased Bitdefender Premium Security Plus and set up everything on my notebook, including VPN and the password manager. Everything works fine.

Then I went over to my Google Pixel 7a on Android 14 and tried to set up the password manager via the app (v1.3.0). I installed the app from the Play Store, but I cannot get it to work at all.

The app opens and asks me to log in with Bitdefender via "login.bitdefender.com".

I then get to the vault unlock screen where I have to enter the master password (I set this up when installing the chrome extension on my notebook).

Then, one of three things happens:

wrong masterpassword: it notifies me that the master password is wrong.
correct password (with diagnostic data box unchecked): it returns me to the "enter password"-screen from the previous Bitdefender login, with the password still filled in
correct password (with diagnostic data box checked): app crashes and prompts me to send feedback. If I send feedback, the app crashes/closes, if I just wait a few seconds it returns me to the bitdefender login screen (with password still filled in).

I tried to delete the app, reinstall it and I restarted the phone multiple times.

Anyone have any suggetions? Thank you very much!

This feature is a must have for me and heavily influenced my choice of antivirus software. So far I am heavily disappointed and feel stupid for not taking the warnings in the play store serious enough.

Hi,

thanks for the answer.

I searched the German forum for an answer but then decided to post on the English forum for a wider audience without looking here. My bad.

@Alexandru_BD 's answer gives me hope that this can be resolved, I just hope there is a fix before my previous antivir subscription runs out and I don't have to go look for another.

Cheers.

Nearly a month later I have the same problem on my Moto G Power (2020 - Android 11). I received an email response from Bitdefender Support three days ago. I followed the instructions; nothing worked. I responded accordingly two days ago and have received nothing else in response. (For what it's worth, this problem occurred right after I had inadvertently logged out of the app.)

Hi @TJHart2010,

Based on my findings, this is an isolated issue and the developent teams are currently gathering more information on this behavior. You haven't received a new reply on the open case because the inquiry has been escalated further and is pending a response.

I hope the situation gets resolved swiftly.

Regards,

Alex

This issue is impacting more than a few Android users on 14. The issue as best I can tell has been reported to Bitdefender since at least October. It is now almost 2024. People have been patiently waiting for a fix unable to utilize the program on their cell phones.

How's about Bitdefender makes an effort to manage expectations with an ETA?

Here's the latest emailed case update I received two days ago:

This is a follow-up email regarding the bug report that you have sent us. I'd like to inform you that our development team is still working a fix and it’s taking a bit more than usual. As previously mentioned, the fix will be automatically released through Bitdefender product updates, with no other actions requested from your side.
