Family Admin

Bitwarden offers free accounts with no limits to the number of devices or number of logins you can use. Get started today.

Your master password

During sign-up, you'll create a master password for logging in to Bitwarden. It's important that your master password is:

• Memorable: Bitwarden employees and systems have no knowledge of, way to retrieve, or way to reset your master password. Do not forget your master password!

• Strong: A longer, more complex, and less common password is the best way to protect your account. Bitwarden provides a free password strength testing tool to test the strength of some memorable passwords you are considering.

Create your organisation today by selecting the New organisation button in the Bitwarden web app:

If your organisation has already been created, ask the other member of your organisation to send you an invitation.

Once created, you'll land in the Admin Console, which is the central hub for all things sharing and organisation administration. As the organisation owner, you'll be able to see your Vault items and collections, to manage Members, run Reports, change Billing settings, and configure other organisation Settings:

As an owner or admin, you might be responsible for managing access to vault items, like shared credentials, for your family. You can create them directly from the web app and assign them to collections in order to share them with your family:

Speaking of collections, they're an important construct for grouping together related logins, notes, cards, and identities for secure sharing with your organisation:

• Organisations can define access to collections, allowing users to access only the items they need.

• Items stored in an organisation's collection(s) do not belong to any individual user, but rather to the organisation.

• Organisation-owned items must be included in at least one collection.

As an owner or admin, you might be responsible for managing members of your family more broadly. Members can be added to your organisation directly from the Admin Console's Members page (learn more):

Now that you're set up to securely share data with your family through Bitwarden, consider some other ways of making sure your loved ones stay safe online:

• Help your family set up two-step login to protect their Bitwarden accounts.

• Help your family set up emergency access so important data can be accessed in cases of emergency.
