Introducing Bitwarden Access Intelligence

Modern hackers no longer hack accounts, they simply login with weak or reused passwords. Bitwarden Access Intelligence is a new enterprise feature that proactively resolves credential vulnerabilities and blocks phishing attacks, ensuring your sensitive credentials are protected.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to master advanced features, Bitwarden Learning Center is for you. Choose from seven self-paced courses designed for everyone from new users setting up their first vault, to power users ready to go beyond basic password management. Plus, discover a wide range of additional resources, including product demos, events, community forums, and expert articles.

Run a vault health today

Vault Health Reports offer valuable insights to help you stay secure. Available with any paid plan, these reports highlight passwords exposed in known breaches, identify reused or weak passwords, flag unsecured websites saved in your vault, and show accounts where two-factor authentication is available but not yet activated. Plus, all users—free or paid—can access a report that reveals if any of their usernames or email addresses have appeared in a data breach. Staying informed is a simple, powerful step toward stronger security.

Have you set up Emergency Access?

Prepare for the unexpected by setting up Emergency Access in your Bitwarden vault. This essential feature lets you designate trusted contacts who can request access to your vault in critical situations, whether in the event of incapacitation, if the user forgets their master password, or when a team member is unavailable. It’s a simple step that ensures the right people can access the right information when it matters most.

Embracing the passwordless future

The move toward passwordless authentication is more than a trend, it’s a transformation in how we secure digital access. Bitwarden is at the forefront, offering support for passkeys and FIDO2 standards to help strengthen security while simplifying the login experience. Are you ready to go passwordless?

19 billion passwords now on the dark web

There are “19 billion passwords that are available online right now to any hackers who want to seek them out” stemming from the meteoric rise of infostealer malware attacks. What’s more concerning is that 94% of the passwords that ended up exposed online were being reused across accounts and services. The takeaway from Forbes: “you need to take action now to prevent becoming a victim of the automatic password hacking machine epidemic.”

5 ways a password manager can strengthen your relationship

Finances are a common source of stress for couples. As PCMag notes, “according to Fidelity’s 2024 report on couples and money, one in four people expressed frustration with their spouse’s spending habits.” A multi-user password manager plan can help ease that tension. Shared access to household accounts, bills, and subscriptions can build transparency, streamline daily tasks, and boost mutual trust.
