About Bitwarden

Bitwarden is a free, open-source password manager available on web, Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and as a browser extension for all major browsers. It stores passwords, passkeys, TOTP two-factor codes, secure notes, and payment card details in an end-to-end encrypted vault — Bitwarden's servers never see your unencrypted data. The free personal plan includes unlimited password storage and cross-device synchronisation, which competitors typically reserve for paid tiers. A Business plan adds organisational vaults with role-based access control. Bitwarden can be self-hosted on your own server using Docker. It is used by privacy-conscious individuals, developers, and security teams who want a fully featured, audited, open-source password manager with no restrictions on the free plan.
