How to respond if an online account is hacked
If you notice messages you didn't send or a login from an unfamiliar device, it could mean your account has been compromised. These five steps can help you minimize the damage and get proactive about your account security.

Should you be using passkeys?
In the simplest terms, a passkey is a way to log in to accounts without using a password. Because there is no password to steal, passkeys are a phishing-resistant way to lock down your online accounts. In just 8 minutes, you can learn how passkeys work and how they enhance your security. Bonus: the Bitwarden inline autofill menu now matches passkeys saved in your vault for sites that support passkey autofill!
