About Bitwarden

Bitwarden keeps passwords and passkeys in a vault that you can access through browser extensions, desktop and mobile apps, or the web. It also stores secure notes, payment cards and identity details, and includes a generator for passwords and usernames. The free individual plan supports unlimited passwords and devices, which makes it a practical starting point if you use several browsers or move between a computer and phone.

Sharing and paid extras need a little more planning. A free organization lets two people share items; Families and business plans cover larger groups and add management features. Premium adds encrypted file attachments, an integrated code generator for two-step logins, and emergency access. Those extras are separate from the core password vault. Before relying on any password manager, decide how you will regain access if you forget the master password. Bitwarden support cannot recover a forgotten master password. Some recovery options, including administrator recovery for enrolled organization accounts, need to be set up before access is lost.
