IIRC, Firefox Send shutdown because it was getting abused - I see you need an account to use Bitwarden Send, which I imagine helps mitigate against that, but it's also a barrier to use. Would be interesting to know what other anti-abuse mechanisms are in place.


Bitwarden Send is a feature add for existing users. It solves a very real problem of sharing passwords (and other sensitive information) with others.

Before Send, the way Bitwarden recommended sharing data was by creating a group account of some sort (family, business), and using a shared collection.


Ah, for some reason I assumed it was a separate product, but that makes much more sense.

I've never been keen on cloud-hosted password safes, but this is a pretty nice addition for Bitwarden users.


Bitwarden does have a 100mb limit. Which I think will prevent a good chunk of abuse.

I would love to see them increase the limit for paid accounts, though.
