## Frequently Asked Questions
### How many people can use a Families account?
Bitwarden Families supports up to 6 users. This typically covers parents, children and extended family members living in the same household. Each person gets their own Premium account with all features. If you need more than 6 users or want to add friends or housemates outside your immediate family, consider the Bitwarden Teams plan for small groups.
### What's the difference between Premium and Families plans?
Premium includes one account with advanced features like vault health reports, TOTP authenticator, 5 GB encrypted storage and emergency access. Families includes six Premium accounts, unlimited shared collections, 10 GB total storage (5 GB personal + 5 GB organisation), and a family admin dashboard, all for less than buying two Premium accounts individually. If you're sharing with more than one person, Families offers better value.
### Can I try Bitwarden Families before paying?
Yes. Bitwarden Families includes a 7-day free trial with full access to all features. You can invite family members, create shared collections and test password sharing risk-free.
### How does password sharing work in Bitwarden Families?
Password sharing in Bitwarden Families uses shared collections. You create collections for different categories (streaming, banking, household), add passwords to those collections, and assign family members who should have access. When you update a password, it syncs instantly to everyone with access. Each person sees shared passwords in their own vault alongside their personal passwords, and you control exactly who sees what.
### Can family members see each other's personal passwords?
No. Each member has their own private vault that only they can access. Shared passwords live in a separate shared collection. Members only see what you explicitly share with them. Your personal passwords are always yours alone.
### Can I add someone outside my household?
Yes. Bitwarden Families supports up to 6 members and there's no requirement for them to live with you. You can invite a parent, sibling, or anyone you trust. Each gets their own Premium account under your plan.
### What happens if a family member already has a Bitwarden account?
No problem. When you invite them, they’ll link their existing account to your Families plan and immediately get upgraded to Premium. Their personal vault and saved passwords carry over completely so nothing is lost.
### What happens to my data if I cancel the Families plan?
Your data is never deleted. If you cancel, each member's account reverts to a free individual plan and they keep access to their personal vault. Shared collections become inactive but can be recovered if you resubscribe.
### Is Bitwarden the best family password manager?
Bitwarden is consistently rated among the best family password managers by PCMag, CNET, and independent security researchers. The Bitwarden Families plan gives every member a full Premium account, not just basic access. With unlimited shared collections, 10 GB storage, and zero-knowledge encryption, you get enterprise-grade security at a family-friendly price. Plus, Bitwarden's open-source code means security experts worldwide can verify its protection.
