[Embedded content componentCtaLink] ## Get started ### Sign up for Bitwarden (3 min) [![Vimeo Video](https://vumbnail.com/1086379394.jpg)](https://vimeo.com/1086379394) *[Watch on Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/1086379394)* Bitwarden offers free accounts with no limits to the number of devices or number of logins you can use. [Why wait?](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/go/start-free/) Learn more about creating your Bitwarden account [here](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/create-bitwarden-account/). ### 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. ![Set master password](https://bitwarden.com/assets/2pST1WXY0Xk7GQ4GpwzELn/258a7524e9ecbfe25d2b3a4e455257c0/Set_master_password.png) ### Two-step login Using two-step login, also called two-factor authentication or 2FA, is the most important thing you can do to protect your data other than using a strong master password. It's so important that we offer a few options for free, including [Bitwarden Authenticator](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/bitwarden-authenticator/), a standalone mobile authenticator. ### Get to know your vault (1 min) The Bitwarden Password Manager web app will list all your vault items, including [logins, cards, identities, and secure notes](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/managing-items/): ![Password Manager web app](https://bitwarden.com/assets/2xTpSA11EOCzx8VIuVffcF/d3bc18e7fc3c3cb0bf1779fad9262cd3/2024-12-02_13-42-14.png) From the web app, you can fill your vault with information to keep secure, organise your credentials for easy access, and more. Items that you add in any Bitwarden app will sync to other Bitwarden apps you log in to so you can log in to accounts from anywhere. ### Take Bitwarden on the go (1 min) Security anywhere is security everywhere!
