# Free Sharing for Two

Learn how to safely share your passwords and logins with one other person for free—perfect for couples, flatmates, or best friends!

## Get started

### Sign up for Bitwarden (2 min)

Bitwarden offers free accounts with no limits to the number of devices or number of logins you can use. [Get started today](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/go/start-free/).

### 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](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/password-strength/) to test the strength of some memorable passwords you are considering.

### Create an organisation (2 min)

[Create your organisation](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/about-organizations/#create-an-organization/) today by selecting the **New organisation** button in the Bitwarden web app:

### Or join an existing organisation (1 min)

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

### Get to know the Admin Console (2 min)

Once created, you'll arrive 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](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/getting-started-organizations/#get-to-know-collections/), manage **Members**, and configure other organisation **Settings**:

### Managing vault items and collections (3 min)

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

![Assign to collections in bulk](https://bitwarden.com/assets/1u6EPNgAlCnvC9DcmUIosQ/327c0c24e09dce687540499a8eaa5aac/2024-12-02_15-47-21.png)

Speaking of [**collections**](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/about-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 a free organisation, you can have up to two collections.

> [!TIP] Items can also be imported
> Data can also be imported directly to your organisation! Learn how [here](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/import-to-org/#import-to-your-organization/).

### Managing members and groups (2 min)

As an owner, you’ll be responsible for inviting the other member to your organisation directly from the Admin Console’s **Members** page ([learn more](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/managing-users/#invite/)):
