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, means of retrieving, 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, such as shared credentials, for your company or team. You can create them directly from the web app and assign them to collections in order to share them with your team:
Speaking of collections, they're an important structure for grouping together related logins, notes, cards, and identities for secure sharing with your organisation:
Organisations can define access to collections, allowing users or groups 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.
tip
Data can also be imported directly to your organisation! Learn how here.
As an owner or admin, you might be responsible for managing members of your team or your company more broadly. Members can be added to your organisation:
Directly from the Admin Console's Members page (learn more).
By integrating Bitwarden with your IdP using SCIM (learn more).
By integrating Bitwarden with your directory service using Directory Connector (learn more).
Members can be assigned directly to collections in order to regulate what vault data they have access to, but so can groups. Groups bring individual members together and provide a scalable way to assign access to and permissions for specific collections:
Teams Bitwarden organisations provide powerful tools for improving your online security and integrating with existing workflows and tools. Some other things you might manage as an administrator of your organisation include:
Auditing what credentials organisation members have access to.
Integrating Bitwarden with your existing SIEM tool, like Microsoft Sentinel.
