About Bitwarden
Bitwarden provides a password management platform that securely stores, shares, and manages credentials, passkeys, and sensitive information for individuals, teams, and enterprises. It offers end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture, meaning only the user can decrypt their vault data. The platform includes features such as autofill, password generation, secure sharing, and credential lifecycle management. Bitwarden also provides a built-in authenticator for multi-factor codes and supports passwordless SSO integration. Bitwarden sells to a range of customers, from individuals to large organisations. Its business plans include Teams and Enterprise, with features like centralized management, event logging, directory synchronization, SCIM provisioning, and granular access control. Enterprise plans add SSO, enterprise policies, self-hosting, and Access Intelligence for risk remediation. The company also offers a free personal plan and premium plans for individuals and families. Bitwarden Send allows secure sharing of files and passwords with expiration and access limits. The platform is open source and undergoes regular third-party audits.
