A friendly community of password management enthusiasts sharing what we know
Welcome to Bitwarden Vault, a fan-made resource created by people who genuinely enjoy talking about password managers. We are not a company, we do not sell software, and we have no connection to the official Bitwarden team. We are simply a small group of IT workers, developers, and long-time password manager users who spent years helping friends and colleagues sort out their login chaos, and eventually decided to put that experience into a free website anyone can read.
Our story began in a group chat, as many good projects do. A friend asked for the hundredth time how to move her saved passwords to a new laptop, someone wrote out a step-by-step explanation, and another member suggested publishing it so we could stop repeating ourselves. That first guide grew into this site, and it now covers everything from vault organization to two-factor authentication in plain language.
Our mission is to make good password hygiene accessible to everyone, regardless of technical background. Most password breaches trace back to habits, not hackers: reused passwords, weak variations of an old password, or credentials scribbled in a notebook. The right tool, used correctly, fixes most of that automatically, and we want to show people how to use it with confidence.
We write our guides based on hands-on testing. When we describe a feature of the Bitwarden Web Vault, we have used it ourselves, on the same devices and browsers our readers use. If something is confusing or has a limitation, we say so plainly. We do not accept payment for recommendations and we publish no sponsored content. Honesty is the only currency a fan project has, and we guard it carefully.
Independence: every article on this site reflects our own research and experience. Nobody reviews our drafts before publication except ourselves, and that is exactly how it should stay.
Clarity: we avoid jargon wherever possible. Terms like zero-knowledge encryption or PBKDF2 are explained the first time they appear, with everyday examples. A guide you cannot understand is a guide you will not follow.
Community: our readers constantly send us questions, corrections, and suggestions, and many improvements started as an email from a stranger. If you spot an error or want a topic covered, the form below is always open. We read every message, even when we cannot reply as quickly as we would like.
The team behind Bitwarden Vault is deliberately small and modest. Between us we have decades of combined experience in system administration, software development, and IT support, but we present ourselves as writers rather than experts with titles. We prefer to let the guides speak for themselves.
None of us works for Bitwarden or any other password manager company. The site is funded out of our own pockets and kept free of advertising, so there is no pressure to chase traffic with clickbait. Our goal is simple: if a person reads one of our guides and walks away managing their passwords a little better, we have done our job.
We love hearing from our readers. Whether you have a question about a guide, found a mistake we should fix, or simply want to share your own experience with password managers, use the form below and we will do our best to reply within a few days. Please note that we cannot provide official technical support for the software itself, but we are always happy to point you in the right direction.
