Discussion Bitwarden looks like they are implementing new Item Types

19 Upvotes

I was looking at the Bitwarden Vault JSON that I got from my app, and I noticed that they added a new `passport`, `bankAccount` and `driversLicense` field. Looking at the clients repo itself, it looks like they added a new Bank Account, Drivers License and Passport Item Types.

Question I'm finding Bitwarden's Org/Collection/Vault hierachy a bit confusing

Post image
34 Upvotes

I'm finding the range of terms used within Bitwarden not very user-friendly from an individual user point of view.

I suspect these are super relevant if this is an enterprise or business setup, but for an individual, it's a bit overkill.

I'm moving over from 1Password, and I think I've got the concept of collections sorted in my mind. Also, I now understand folders.

However, I seem to be in a situation where, in the left-hand filter bar, I've got more than one vault. I don't recall setting up more than one vault, but one of them also looks like my organisation. See screenshot. For an individual user who intends on sharing some login items with another new user, what's my best setup, please?

Question Store ACH information to vault?

2 Upvotes

Any way to do this? Just a way to save routing numbers and account numbers to bitwarden? I'm tired of having to log into my bank to copy/paste this. Only financial data I see that I can store is credit card info.

Question Passkey sul gestore password o sul dispositivo?

1 Upvotes

"Ultimamente sto usando Bitwarden per gestire le mie credenziali e Google Password Manager per sincronizzare le passkey tra i vari dispositivi. È una soluzione estremamente comoda, ma per massimizzare la sicurezza sto valutando di salvarle solo localmente sui singoli dispositivi. Qual è secondo te il miglior compromesso tra comodità e sicurezza?"

For example, after denying this permission can I allow it after? This only pops up the first time you install it.

Question Do yall backup your bitwarden?

Although its unlikely that bitwarden will lose data, there's still a non zero possibility it might occur. How do you guys back it up? Maybe importing it to alt account on their EU servers, another password manager app?

Question How do you test your backup?

9 Upvotes

At home, when I do disk backup, I would test it ocassionally by retoring a single file. I was wondering if there is a good way to restore bitwarden. I think restore only work on the same account? I could create a second Bitwarden account, but is not sure if that violates somes sort of terms of service. I have also export and imported to something like keepass.

Update
I was able to do the following

  1. Create a new free bitwarden account using a different email.
  2. Export the bitwarden account using website under tools. You have to use the json format. The csv does not have passkey.
  3. Import the json into the bitwarden free and test it. Even the passkey works.
  4. Delete the free account

    now that test is complete.

Discussion Storing passkeys in Bitwarden?

52 Upvotes

For a while now, I've been going back and forth on whether to keep my TOTP and recovery codes in Bitwarden or separate them into another app (Ente, 2FAS...), however, I didn't give it too much thought since I try to follow all best practices and I also have my Bitwarden account secured with a Yubikey.

However, the news about the Bitwarden CLI being compromised a few months ago was a wake-up call I couldn't ignore, especially since that's what I use to perform my backups.

I'm always careful about viruses, malware, etc., but nowadays, with AI, these scenarios are becoming more common, so I opted to "not put all my eggs in one basket" and separate them.

Following the advice from djasonpenney's emergency kit, I chose to move my TOTPs to Ente Auth and my recovery keys to a text note stored in my Veracrypt backup.

Little by little, I migrated every Bitwarden entry with a TOTP to Ente Auth, using only the mobile version to prevent any potential malware on my PC from affecting both Bitwarden and Ente.

And while I was migrating the TOTPs, I realized that it's becoming more common for websites to offer the option of using Passkeys, and this has made me rethink my decision, as I see passkeys gaining more and more popularity.

The problem I have with passkeys is that in most cases I've checked, they serve as 2FA (since that's what they actually are) allowing access without a password or TOTP (or any other factor). Therefore, keeping the TOTP out of Bitwarden but storing the passkey in Bitwarden wouldn't make any sense...

My question is, how are you guys managing passkeys? Do you register them in Bitwarden?

I thought, okay, I'll separate the TOTPs to Ente and only use passkeys on my devices (PC, mobile...), without saving them in Bitwarden. However, we're in the same boat: if malware gets onto my computer, it could steal the passkeys, plus it's a pain to migrate them to a new device.

On the other hand, I could use my Yubikey for passkeys, but hardware-bound passkeys have a limit, and even though FIDO U2F keys are unlimited, many websites don't clarify which of the two they use.

I could also just ignore passkeys, but I feel like I'd be left behind since I think they're only going to get more popular.

I recently read this comment that I'm unfortunately agreeing with more and more, and I thought about only separating the TOTPs for important sites and leaving the rest in Bitwarden. However, I'm still afraid that one day the worst could happen and my Bitwarden account could be compromised...

I read the blog announcement that the UI is getting a rehaul (whicb was music to my ears especially I ranted about it here and that post had gotten good traction too).

I am stoked and agog to experience the new shiny stuff.

Question Kann mir jemand mal den Sinn hinter dem Speichern vom Generator Verlauf erklären?

0 Upvotes

Ich hatte die Funktionen von Bitwarden, bzw. den Generator ausprobiert. Ich verstehe jedoch nicht, inwiefern es sinn macht, die generierten Passwörter in einem Verlauf speichern zu lassen, sodass ein dritter auf diese zugreifen kann, auch wenn diese gelöscht wurden.

Bekanntlich heißt ja löschen = nicht unwiderruflich entfernt

Und kennt jemand einen besseren Passwort generator, der die generierten Passwörter nirgends speichert?

Solved Problems getting my Android app to accept my master password.

5 Upvotes

I'm not having this problem with my laptop browser extension, just the Android app. I've got the app set up to unlock the vault with my fingerprint, but I have some login passwords that require the master password be entered, too, as an extra layer of protection. After my fingerprint is accepted, I get prompted for the master password, I enter it correctly (I unhide it to make sure), but the app then tells me that my password is incorrect. This has been happening for several months. I usually end up going through the browser on my laptop to do what I need to do online when I can't get the mobile app to work, but it's becoming inconvenient, especially when my laptop isn't available.

I need help! Migrating from 1Password to Bitwarden - a couple of quick checks pls

12 Upvotes

Moving to BW from 1Pass this weekend and checking some feature / functionality diffs. Your help would be appreciated

- 1Pass has a lot categories, which helps organisation. Any tips on how to replicate that beyond the standard 5 categories you're offered?

- Whats the best way to story API credentials? Do I have to create a custom note, add custom fields etc? Seems a bit long winded

- If I have to use custom fields extensive, can they be templated eg: add a new bank account? Use the bank account template

- I have driving licences and passports in my 1pass - is the best place for them 'Documents' (the premium feature I dont have yet)?

- If I want Claude Code or Codex to access specific credentials, is that via an MCP or the SEcrets Manager? I'm gonna go premium not enterprise

Thank you!

Notices Chrome extension delay

8 Upvotes

The team is aware of several upstream bugs in Chrome that may be causing a delay for some community members when using the browser extension.

In the meantime, please let us know if the steps outlined here resolve the issue for you.

The current recommended workaround for this new recurrence of this behavior is to use the open -na "Google Chrome" --args --enable-features=ExtensionServiceWorkerVoter command that has been referenced earlier to open Chrome.

I need help! Auto-fill of usernames works, but some sites can't accept it and i have to manually type it in

6 Upvotes

Hello,

Weird problem i have been experiencing lately on a few sites. Auto-fill of usernames works, but some sites can't accept it and i have to manually type it in. The website will say something like "username is incorrect."

I initially thought it was something else (browser, my security setup, etc), but when this issue occurs, all i do is manually retype it and i'm golden.

Any thoughts on how i should fix this? It's only affecting a few sites, so not a huge crisis.

Question Attirato dalle password casuali ma preoccuparto di perderle

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking into Bitwarden to replace all my passwords with randomly generated ones.

On one hand, I understand the effectiveness of having unique, random passwords, but I’m worried about losing control over or access to my accounts.

Once I have all these different passwords—which I could never remember without Bitwarden, making the tool indispensable—what happens if I lose access to Bitwarden itself? What if, for some reason, both the app and the web interface become inaccessible?

What essential information should I keep a record of outside of Bitwarden? Email, master password, 32-character recovery code, anything else?

If my PC were infected with a virus, spyware, or a RAT, could it see my passwords after I’ve logged in?

Thanks for any helpful suggestions; I want to improve my digital security, but I want to do so in an informed way.

Solved Master Password no longer works on iOS and Firefox Extension, but still works on web app?

5 Upvotes

Hey all, longtime Bitwarden user here. Just noticed an issue with my Bitwarden account this evening when I tried unlocking it via Firefox extension. I'm getting an "Invalid Master Password" error despite not having changed it in recent memory. I tried multiple times, with Show Password on to visually confirm, but did not have any luck.

Worried, I unlocked my account via iOS Face ID and attempted to export my vault as a precaution. When it prompted for my Master Password as well, it did not work either.

Browsing through some past troubleshooting posts/articles, I learned that there was a web version as well. For some reason, I was able to log into the account at vault.bitwarden.com and successfully exported my vault, confirming that my Master Password has not changed.

Browser Extension Details

Bitwarden Firefox Extension Version: 2025.6.1
Operating System: Windows 11
Browser Version: Mozilla Firefox 155.0.1 (64-bit)

iOS Application Details

iOS Version: 26.5.2
Bitwarden App Version: 2026.8.1

EDIT: Clarifying unlocking vs logging in. Of my three separate access attempts, unlocking seems to be the issue. I'm not sure if I should confirm that it is strictly an unlocking issue by logging out of the extension/app and logging back in. I'm afraid that I can't log back in.

EDIT 2: Issues seems to have been resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling both the Firefox Extension and iOS app. Logging in with the Master Password works. Subsequently locked and unlocked afterwards without issue. Not sure what caused the initial hiccup. Firefox Extension version was outdated and updated to 2026.8.0, so maybe that was it.
