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.
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.
To manually sync your vault from a Bitwarden app:
In the Settings tab, select Vault and use the Sync vault now button.
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.
