Vault Items

Bitwarden can securely store more than just usernames and passwords. There are five types of items you can store in your vault:

• Login: Store username and password combinations for easy autofill on browser extensions, on iOS apps and on Android apps. Login items can also store passkeys and, for Premium users, verification codes.

• Card: Store credit or debit card information for easy autofill on browser extensions and Android apps during online checkouts.

• Identity: Store identity information, like mailing addresses, for easy autofill on browser extensions and Android apps during a variety of online form submissions.

• Secure note: Store freeform text for any kind of information you want protected.

• SSH key: Use Bitwarden as an SSH agent.
