- Restricted free tier with only 25 passwords on single device compared to Bitwarden's unlimited free tier
- No traditional desktop application, users must rely on browser extension or mobile apps
- Closed-source code prevents independent security verification unlike open-source competitors
- Limited 2FA options supporting only authenticator apps, not biometric or SMS authentication
