Family Member
Welcome to the family! This course shows you how to use your Bitwarden account, access items shared by your Family Admin, and keep your personal passwords organized and secure.
Get started
Check your inbox for an invitation to your new organization! If you already have an existing account, great! All you need to do is accept the invitation. If you don’t, you will be prompted to create an account after you accept the invitation:
During sign-up, you'll create a master password for logging in to Bitwarden. It's important that your master password is:
Memorable: Bitwarden employees and systems have no knowledge of, way to retrieve, or way to reset your master password. Do not forget your master password!
Strong: A longer, more complex, and less common password is the best way to protect your account. Bitwarden provides a free password strength testing tool to test the strength of some memorable passwords you are considering.
The Bitwarden Password Manager web app will list all your vault items, including logins, cards, identities, and secure notes:
From the web app, you can fill your vault with information to keep secure, organize your credentials for easy access, and more. Items that you add in any Bitwarden app will sync to other Bitwarden apps you log in to so you can log into accounts from anywhere.
Do you have passwords saved in a browser, like Chrome? Or are you coming to Bitwarden from another password manager? You can import logins directly to Bitwarden to avoid a painful day of copy-and-pasting.
Or, if you store passwords on paper or in your brain, let's get you started adding more items to your vault.
As a member of your organization, you can securely share information like credit cards and streaming logins with members of your family. Shared items can be accessed through a separate vault that is added to your Bitwarden apps when you join the organization:
Shared items are grouped-together into collections, which your family can organize based on things like who can have access unit (e.g. "Parents Only"), the type of logins they contain (e.g. "Streaming Logins"), and more.
Bitwarden browser extensions make it easy to quickly log in to your accounts with saved passwords with the magic of autofill. Download the browser extension and learn how to autofill passwords while browsing the web:
It's best to disable your browser's built-in password manager to ensure that Bitwarden is always your go-to password manager.
