  1. Choose a Bitwarden plan.

  2. Download your preferred way of accessing passwords.

  3. Add passwords to your new end-to-end encrypted password manager.

  4. Enjoy the freedom of being able to access your sensitive information securely anywhere, on any device.

What does the Bitwarden community say?

"...the one thing users should consider when using a password manager is, what is happening underneath the hood. Here is where Bitwarden wins. Their open source model is available for scrutiny by security experts and the community, this removes any worry that something egregious is happening within the Bitwarden company and allows the community to come together and find potential security risks."

- Oscar G

"We had a problem with a user who lost access to his vault because he lost his mfa tokens on his mobile, and in less than 3 emails and 20 minutes we had regained access thanks to Bitwarden's support."

- Juan Manuel B

"Bitwarden stands out in the Password Management product market on several levels that make it the number one choice, in my opinion, for enterprises, small businesses and families alike. The ease of implementation, integration with Single Sign On and Windows Hello are just the beginning... The ability to sync Passkeys across all device types is unique to this product and makes end users lives MUCH easier. Administrators are also in control with it's integration in to Entra ID nad SEIM support."
