Add a layer of security to your Bitwarden account
FIDO2 WebAuthn 2FA utilizes passkey protocols and a public/private key pair to verify your identity, specifically as a function of two factor authentication. In securing your Bitwarden account, after you login to Bitwarden you will be asked for your FIDO2 WebAuthn credential to authenticate and access your account. This second step for logging in protects your account from unauthorized access. Read more about how this works in this
Generating FIDO2 WebAuthn 2FA credentials
There are multiple ways to create the FIDO2 WebAuthn passkeys for two-step login. Bitwarden supports using both device-bound passkeys, like those from a hardware security key, and synced passkeys that are generated from a third-party passkey provider. Examples of device-bound passkeys include YubiKeys, SoloKeys, and other hardware keys. Modern operating systems can also create device-bound passkeys stored securely on your device through Windows Hello, for example. Third party passkey providers create synced passkeys for use across multiple devices for added convenience. Any method for generating FIDO2 WebAuthn keys for two-step login enhances the security of your Bitwarden account.
Setting up FIDO2 WebAuthn 2FA
Turning on two-step login is easy, and everyone should do it! Using any type of 2FA is the best way to ensure your data is safe, second only to having a strong Bitwarden password. Bitwarden allows users to store up to five WebAuthn keys for two-factor authentication. It’s a good idea to have at least register two separate keys/devices in case you lose one so that you can always have access to your account. To get started, follow the steps in this guide:
