Get started
Bitwarden offers free accounts with no limits to the number of devices or number of logins you can use. Why wait? Learn more about creating your Bitwarden account here.
Your master password
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.
Two-step login
Using two-step login, also called 2-factor authentication or 2FA, is the most important thing you can do to protect your data other than using a strong master password.
It's so important that we offer a few options for free, including Bitwarden Authenticator, a standalone mobile authenticator.
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.
Import your passwords
The easiest way to import is using the Bitwarden Desktop app, which can pull passwords directly from Chromium browsers like Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, and Opera)—no file export needed.
If you're migrating from a compatible iOS 26 password manager, you can also import directly into the Bitwarden mobile app.
For other methods, you'll need to export a file from your current password manager, then import it into Bitwarden. Watch the following short videos to get started.
