plan, cheap pricing, and for being open-source. To see if it\u2019s the right password manager for you, though, I took it out and kicked its tires for a few days.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a review that places Bitwarden firmly among the best password managers. It\u2019s secure and comes at an extremely good value. However, it has a few issues in daily use that may make it unattractive for people with a few bucks more to spend. Let\u2019s see if it\u2019s the right fit for you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"review-card-body-inline fullwidth\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like\"><\/span>Here&#8217;s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Great free plan<\/li>\n<li>Cheap paid plans<\/li>\n<li>Good organization features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Some features are a bit clunky<\/li>\n<li>Interface is kind of old-school<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reviews-blurb\">How-To Geek&#8217;s expert reviewers go hands-on with each product we review.

It may even be the best free password manager out there, together with KeePass\u2014we compare the two in our <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/718270\/bitwarden-vs.-keepass-which-is-the-best-open-source-password-manager\/\">Bitwarden vs. KeePass article.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most password managers, which will put some kind of limit on what their free version can do, Bitwarden\u2019s free app has full functionality in all ways except that it doesn\u2019t support two-factor authentication (2FA). That\u2019s not a high price for a free piece of software.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-874734\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/bitwarden-personal-pricing.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Personal pricing for Bitwarden\" width=\"1000\" height=\"541\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you need 2FA, you have to pay for the Premium plan, which costs an extremely reasonable $10 per year, making Bitwarden the cheapest password manager on the market. You also get some extra features, like Bitwarden Authenticator, a 2FA app like Authy or Google Authenticator, and some added security reports.<\/p>\n<p>The third personal plan is aimed at families, which lets you sign up to six people for just $40 per year. This is a lot cheaper than any other family plan out there, including Dashlane\u2019s, and probably the best option for anybody that wants to share their password manager with family members without spending too much.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitwarden_Business_Plans\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Bitwarden Business Plans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of sharing, Bitwarden also has some plans aimed at businesses. These are a bit more pricey than the personal plans, but still are a good whack cheaper than similar plans offered by the competition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-874729\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/bitwarden-business-pricing.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Business pricing for Bitwarden\" width=\"1000\" height=\"505\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>At $3 and $5 per month per user for the Teams and Enterprise plans, respectively, they\u2019re a pretty good buy, especially for remote teams that may not be able to ask a coworker for a site\u2019s password quickly. The Enterprise plan seems a little pricey, considering it only adds a handful of features, but single sign-on capabilities may be worth it as it can greatly speed up how a team works.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Bitwarden_Like_to_Use\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">What Is\u00a0Bitwarden Like to Use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bitwarden has a lot going for it when it comes to usability, though it lacks polish in a few places. The strength of Bitwarden is simplicity: it has everything you need and offers few frills. The result is an app that you can grasp within seconds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-874733\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/bitwarden-main.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Bitwarden's main screen\" width=\"1000\" height=\"573\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Bitwarden is available on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vault.bitwarden.com\/download\/?app=desktop&amp;platform=windows\">Windows<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/bitwarden\/id1352778147\">Mac<\/a>, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vault.bitwarden.com\/download\/?app=desktop&amp;platform=linux\">Linux<\/a>, as well as\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=e7eab128eb8d1c53e14db14f4c632447&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.x8bit.bitwarden&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">Android<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/bitwarden-free-password-manager\/id1137397744?mt=8\">iPhone\/iPad<\/a>.

The larger part of the screen is taken up by your entries, so the accounts you have. You can subdivide these any way you\u2019d like into folders, which you can access through the pane on the left.<\/p>\n<p>This left-hand pane is very easy to navigate. The bottom portion stores the folders you\u2019ve created for all the accounts you have, while above, you can find the different kinds of entries. Besides passwords, Bitwarden lets you store credit card information, IDs, and secure notes. This last feature is great for anybody that wants to scribble down some information but also needs the details to remain safe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-874730\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/bitwarden-card-overview.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Credit cards in Bitwarden\" width=\"1000\" height=\"581\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The result is an app that organizes entries nearly as well as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/872414\/1password-review\/\">1Password. If you\u2019re a more old-school type, you may even prefer Bitwarden\u2019s folders over 1Password\u2019s tags. That said, 1Password is a bit more flexible: if you like everything to be in just the right place, 1Password may be a better choice.<\/p>\n<p>Adding entries to Bitwarden is also straightforward. Below is an example of a credit card entry, where you can add the obvious stuff like number and type, as well as notes. Passwords and secure notes work in much the same way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-874725\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/bitwarden-add-card-info.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Adding entry information into Bitwarden\" width=\"605\" height=\"650\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also add custom fields to any entry, which adds some functionality. This includes adding extra simple input fields, but you can go so far as to add true\/false statements and secret information; Bitwarden goes into more detail on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitwarden.com\/help\/custom-fields\/\">its custom field page<\/a>. Though I doubt it\u2019s something that will be used by everybody, for the right person, it makes Bitwarden worth purchasing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitwardens_Browser_Extension\"><\/span>Bitwarden\u2019s Browser Extension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So far, so good, but using Bitwarden on the fly isn\u2019t as smooth. Like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/240255\/password-managers-compared-lastpass-vs-keepass-vs-dashlane-vs-1password\/\">all other password managers, most of your day-to-day interaction will be through the browser extension.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I was pleasantly surprised: Bitwarden\u2019s extension is pretty comprehensive and it handles well. I like it more than 1Password\u2019s, for example.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-874727\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/bitwarden-browser-extension.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Bitwarden's browser extension\" width=\"370\" height=\"595\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>However, this is only part of the story. A browser extension isn\u2019t just a control panel that you can open in your browser real quick; it also tracks what you\u2019re doing, offering to enter or remember passwords. Getting rid of the busy is probably the best thing about password managers.<\/p>\n<p>Thing is, though, that Bitwarden doesn\u2019t do this quite as well as I\u2019d like. If you open a new online account, you need to enter or copy-paste your new login information into Bitwarden manually. It has a powerful password generator, but you need to manually navigate to the right tab, operate it, and paste the result into the relevant field.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-874728\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/bitwarden-browser-extension-add-password.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Adding a password in Bitwarden's browser extension\" width=\"369\" height=\"590\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Accessing sites you already have an account for is also slightly cumbersome. You need to right-click the field, access the contextual menu, find the Bitwarden entry, and then choose auto-fill. Sure, it\u2019s not as bad as copy-pasting, but there are better ways to handle this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-874726\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/bitwarden-auto-fill.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Bitwarden's auto-fill system\" width=\"734\" height=\"540\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>As much as I like Bitwarden, I feel it drops the ball here, at least a little. It could be a lot smoother, for one, and for another, Safari users can\u2019t use it at all. They\u2019ll have to copy and paste every password.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough, autofill works a lot better on the mobile app for Android, where any site you want to access has a pop-up you simply need to tap. It works the same as any other password manager. On top of that, Bitwarden\u2019s interface translates really well to the small screen, too.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Bitwarden_Safe\"><\/span>Is Bitwarden Safe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Though the user experience may be a bit clunky at times, it may be worth it for its security. Like all password managers, it stands and falls by how safe it keeps your data\u2014which is why <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/856828\/you-should-stop-using-lastpass\/\">you should stop using LastPass\u00a0since it\u2019s been victim to more than a few breaches.<\/p>\n<p>Bitwarden\u2019s reputation for security banks hard on two pillars. The first is the fact that its code is open-source: literally anybody can go to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/bitwarden\">Bitwarden\u2019s GitHub page<\/a> and inspect it. For most of us, this will likely be no more than an exercise of looking at all the pretty nonsense, but security professionals can check Bitwarden\u2019s code for errors and suggest improvements.<\/p>\n<p>This is the big reason why people use open-source software: with people from all over working together, you can create much more powerful programs than by just having a single team on it. With thousands of eyes on the way it works, we can assume that Bitwarden is always up to date and safe to use.<\/p>\n<p>The other pillar is that Bitwarden undergoes regular security audits. The latest, at the time writing, was done in 2022 by security firm <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitwarden.com\/_gatsby\/file\/405465c5c37e30375973c5e7f736d4b0\/2022%20Bitwarden%20Network%20Security%20Assessment%20Report.pdf?eu=d78e03e4e0c8aad55c3ef3803a733538e33857a9f80434d73537b5a949fecbd771f41b5071c17fb1253a588adbe810ec319071651fe7d8d8c0bd4aa2ed3dfb0006820bee34e77000502c97fdb4f2014469c5480ca885cb59f63821d6b3e0e4701308586fe839b29ef3f87627e5c76c2cb9f2f07f2681fe3ca30c00018f0776be3ae8d6843248e693f718f0e4b1ed7f88e2855e5d3a91826a48150f5a0dbc53b3acad5722682a455337c7fa5e9332c5b6354935705c5b05a4626e855cf23a3792b6afbe5fd978798eda907537d781fad5b375d27f32a09065f2ed582f5d48ee4ae9f514869127534dc277afcb08dd6150751fc0589764748f\">Cure53<\/a>, with the one from the year before conducted by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.insightriskconsulting.com\/\">Insight Risk Consulting<\/a>. Having firms like this underwrite Bitwarden\u2019s security is a massive green flag since they are reputable firms that don\u2019t use a pay-to-play model like some do\u2014we go over some of the shady stuff going on in that industry in my article on whether you should trust VPNs.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Sign_Up_for_Bitwarden\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_6\">Should You Sign Up for Bitwarden?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Choosing whether or not <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitwarden.com\/\">Bitwarden<\/a> is the right fit for you depends on a few factors. Security isn\u2019t a concern, thankfully, but the ease of use and price are. The way I see it, Bitwarden offers a free experience\u2014or a very cheap one\u2014but offers a user experience that\u2019s not quite as smooth as I\u2019d like.<\/p>\n<p>As much as I like Bitwarden\u2019s interface, the clunky autofill and adding of new accounts is a little too annoying for me. I\u2019d rather pay a little more and have that handled for me more or less automatically, without copy-pasting or contextual menus. If you\u2019re not too bothered by that, though, I definitely recommend you check Bitwarden out; there\u2019s no way you\u2019re going to get a better deal than this.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-heading\">\n<div class=\"rating\">\nRating: <strong><br \/>8\/10<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong class=\"more-info-hover\" data-nosnippet=\"\">?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong class=\"rating-info\" data-nosnippet=\"\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 &#8211; Does not work<\/li>\n<li>2 &#8211; Barely functional<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Severely lacking in most areas<\/li>\n<li>4 &#8211; Functions, but has numerous issues<\/li>\n<li>5 &#8211; Fine yet leaves a lot to be desired<\/li>\n<li>6 &#8211; Good enough to buy on sale<\/li>\n<li>7 &#8211; Great and worth purchasing<\/li>\n<li>8 &#8211; Fantastic, approaching best-in-class<\/li>\n<li>9 &#8211; Best-in-class<\/li>\n<li>10 &#8211; Borderline perfection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/strong>\n<\/div>\n<p>Price: <strong><br \/><small class=\"price_starting_at\">Starting At<\/small> $0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Great free plan<\/li>\n<li>Cheap paid plans<\/li>\n<li>Good organization features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Some features are a bit clunky<\/li>\n<li>Interface is kind of old-school<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
