What Bitwarden is

A password manager is the one security tool that actually changes outcomes, because it makes a unique password per site the easy option instead of the disciplined one.

Bitwarden is the usual recommendation because the code is open, it has been independently audited, and unlike most competitors the free plan includes syncing to every device rather than holding that back for the paid tier.

Good for

  • Replacing reused passwords with a unique one per site
  • Sharing a small number of credentials inside a team
  • Storing recovery codes and two-factor backups somewhere safe

Worth knowing

  • The master password cannot be recovered — write it down and store it somewhere physical.
  • Turn on two-factor authentication for the vault itself, not just for the sites inside it.
