The password manager built for business
Every business needs from a password manager:
Control of vault items when necessary
Oversight of access and sharing
Visibility of reporting on credential health
In addition to the trusted, open source security model, the very framework that Bitwarden is built upon was designed to meet these needs and be the most capable password manager for businesses.
The Bitwarden architecture is different from other password managers and provides full credential management lifecycle, stemming from centralized ownership and a scalable sharing model, that gives businesses the control and oversight they need.
How the Bitwarden architecture is better
Enabling credential lifecycle management comes from two important structures in how data is organized in Bitwarden that is unique from other leading password managers. Learn about both in this 11-minute explainer video:
1. Centralized ownership of credentials
Every shared item saved in Bitwarden is in a singular, central vault. Every item within it is owned by the organization. Meanwhile, other password managers may instead use multiple vaults, or rely on decentralized models that places trust and faith on end-users to manage user-owned items.
Bitwarden Advantages:
Full-picture reporting
Easy employee succession/offboarding
Simple item management
2. Scalable sharing model (collections)
Access to items stored in the central vault is granted to users through collections. Each item must belong to a collection, then the collection is assigned to users or groups. This model allows for precise access control at any scale of business. Other password managers struggle, and will have to share through shortcuts, duplicates, or granting too much access to another team’s vault.
Bitwarden Advantages:
Easy sharing across teams - no duplicates/shortcuts
Simple, logical access management
Access is independent of the vault item content
