Whenever you log into a site with your web browser, Bitwarden will show a message offering to save your login credentials. You’ll need this if you haven’t logged into Bitwarden in a while or if you’re setting up a new device, so consider writing it down and locking it away in a safe place. Create a Bitwarden account and set up a master password-ideally one that’s both strong and memorable. Install the Bitwarden extension for your web browser and the Bitwarden app on iOS or Android. Here’s how it works, using Bitwarden as an example: Password managers: A recapĪs a refresher, password managers are a great way to break the bad habit of using the same or similar passwords across multiple apps or websites, or even having to remember lots of passwords in the first place. Organization Vaults will automatically sync across users and client applications every 30 minutes.While my colleagues Michael Ansaldo and Alaina Yee have written a full Bitwarden review, I thought I’d relate a bit more about my personal experience with the software, plus some ways to make it work even better. Your individual Web Vault will always remain in-sync. When you add an item to your web vault, it will automatically sync throughout all of your client applications. With regard to syncing your vault, you can access Bitwarden wherever it is convenient for you. Locking your vault means you will be promoted to enter your master password to decrypt your vault, and you will not need to use the two-step login ( if enabled) on the flip side, logging out of your vault will require you to enter your email address, master password, and any enabled two step login method to access your vault. Configuring this option will dictate what Bitwarden will do once the Vault Timeout time-constraint has lapsed.Īs mentioned, Bitwarden can either: lock or log out. “Inactivity” is determined by the time since interacting with Bitwarden, not system idle time. 
Two security features are based on how long Bitwarden can be inactive before timing-out. Within your individual vault, you have a ‘Settings’ section where you can manage your folders, sync your vault, and set additional security features like locking or logging out of your vault.īitwarden recommends looking at your settings and making those updates based on your preferences.
