Sync your Vault

Adding, editing, or deleting

vault items
from any Bitwarden app will automatically push changes to your Bitwarden server, whether Cloud-hosted or self-hosted.

In order to pull those changes down to another Bitwarden app, your vault will need to sync.

Automatic sync

Items owned by you in the

web vault
will always remain in-sync. Items owned by an
organization
 will sync across users and client applications every 30 minutes.

Other Bitwarden apps (browser extensions, mobile apps, desktop apps, and CLI) will sync automatically on login, and regularly when unlocked. You can also

manually sync
your vault to pull changes immediately.

note

When you install Bitwarden on a new device, logging in to your account will automatically pull your most up-to-date vault data.

Manual sync

To manually sync your vault from a Bitwarden app:

In the Settings tab, select Vault options and use the Sync vault now button.

Troubleshooting

If your vault isn't syncing properly, investigate the following:

Mismatched timestamp

Sync failure may occur if your device time is not correct. Bitwarden uses TLS/SSL, which will fail to connect a Bitwarden app to the server if timestamps are mismatched.

VPN or ad blocker interference

In some cases, VPN or ad blocker browser extensions may interfere with the connection between Bitwarden app and server. This issue is typically observed with browser extensions.
