#BITWARDEN REVIEW PASSWORD#
BitWarden: the browser extensionsīitWarden has the most comprehensive browser support of any password manager I can think of. Apple’s Safari isn’t listed, but you can export from Apple’s Keychain and pop those passwords into BitWarden. The only notable exceptions I can find are Internet Explorer/Edge. Click Tools, Import Data to start the process, and then select which browser or password manager you’re importing from from the drop-down menu. Once you’re signed in, you can log into the web vault on the company’s website – the only place you can import passwords from another manager (the apps or browser extensions won’t do it). For that reason, you might very well want to write down your master password and keep it somewhere secure: by which I mean a locked safe, not a Post-It Note on your computer screen. Forget your password and you can forget getting back into BitWarden (although I’ll come to one possible failsafe later). No phone numbers, no date of birth, no inside leg measurements or anything of value to advertisers.ĭon’t overlook the password hint, because if you forget your master password, you’ve had it. You can set an optional password hint for the master password, but there are no other mandatory details required.
You go to the website, enter your email address, name and master password and that’s it. BitWarden’s well up for it.įirst, of course, you must sign up, but this is the work of mere moments. For starters, I want them to suck in all the passwords I’ve previously had stored in my browser – many make that awkward, some outright refuse. I’ve tried other password managers before, and getting started has been more painful than a stubbed toe. (* There are paid-for features, but none of them is essential.) BitWarden review: getting started Did I mention you don’t have to pay for it? Here’s my review of BitWarden and why you should be more Brian. BitWarden is free*, friendly, powerful, effective, works with almost any device or browser you can name, and it’s free. It was more shoved in front of my windscreen by a brilliantly persistent Twitter correspondent Brian, who kept telling me to try BitWarden every time I moaned about remembering passwords.īrian was right.
