Vault Website

Your Bitwarden password vault can be accessed from the vault website

How to Create vault Items

1. Click the + Add Item button

2. Select Login from the dropdown

   • If you're adding a card, identity, or secure note instead, select that type instead

3. Enter a Name for the item

   • Names will help you easily identify items in your vault, so give this item a recognizable one (e.g. My Twitter Account)

4. Enter your Username and Password

   • For now, enter your existing password. We'll help you replace it with a stronger password later

5. In the URI 1 field, enter the URL of the website (e.g. https://twitter.com/login)

   • If you don't know what URL to use, navigate to the website's login screen and copy it from your address bar

6. From the Folder dropdown, select the name of the folder you want to add this item to

   • Folders can be created with + button in the left sidebar on the main page

7. Click the Save button to finish adding this item

How to create strong passwords

Now that a new login is saved in your vault, improve its security by replacing the existing password with a stronger one:

1. In your vault, select the item you want to secure

2. In a new tab or window, open the corresponding website and login to your account

3. If you entered something in the URI 1 field, click the Launch icon to open it directly from your vault

4. On that website, navigate to the area where you can Change your password

5. Typically, you can find this in a Your Account, Security, Sign in Settings, or Login Settings section

6. Most websites will require you to enter your Current password first. Tab back over to your vault and select the Copy icon next to the Password field. Then, tab back over to the website and paste it in the Current password field

7. You might have the old password memorized, but it's a good idea to get in the habit of copying and pasting your password. This is how you'll be logging in once your password is replaced with a stronger one

8. Tab back over to your vault and click the Generate icon next to the Password field. You'll be asked whether you want to overwrite the current password, so select Yes to proceed

9. This will replace your Password with a randomly generated strong password

   • Moving from a password like Fido1234 to X@Ln@x9J@&u@5n##B can stop a would-be hacker in their tracks

10. Copy your new password with the same Copy icon you used earlier, and select the Save button
