Bitwarden’s user-friendly, blue and white vault interface is easy to navigate, organizing data items into four distinct categories: Login, Card, Identity and Secure Note. Login items store passwords and usernames while Credit Cards hold account numbers, expiration dates and CCV codes while Identity provides phone numbers, addresses and emails that you use around the web; identity also handles phone calls you make around Bitwarden as well as text notes you want Bitwarden to fill automatically for you.
Bitwarden securely stores passwords and data you store, only accessible with a master password. You can choose whether the vault automatically unlocks at startup or after a set period – perfect if you share your computer and want to ensure no one else gains access while you’re not present.
Bitwarden stands out from other password managers by offering you the ability to use passkeys – like fingerprints for passwords – for faster login to websites without entering passwords manually. You can create or let Bitwarden generate one for you.
Standard features of this password management service include a search function, automatic password generator and the capability of adding passwords to groups. The search function can be especially helpful when looking for an obscure password you don’t remember what it was called.
Create an Organization (which acts like a shared vault) and share passwords with other Bitwarden users. When inviting someone, you can specify their level of access – from reading passwords only, viewing all files or editing everything – by setting access levels in advance or waiting a set period before accepting or rejecting their request for access to your vault.
Bitwarden offers an expansive knowledge base and social media sites as resources if you need assistance, with email as a potential way of communication but please be aware it may take longer depending on where and when you send a message. In case it becomes necessary, callback requests from support representatives can also be requested should immediate help be required.
