The Bitwarden server can be anything from a leased cloud instance to a Raspberry Pi sitting on a shelf in your living room. If you know how to set up a server, then Bitwarden also offers self-hosting (versus cloud hosting) options with all plans for anyone who wants complete control over their data using their own server. This premium tier also comes with 1 GB of secure storage, priority support, advanced 2FA options such as YubiKey and 'health reports' - basically, security audits (manually generated) that show you if your passwords are weak, recycled or have been exposed in a data breach. If you upgrade to a Premium account, $10 per year gets you all of the above features, plus file sharing via Bitwarden Send, the Bitwarden Authenticator app for verifying your identity on accounts that use 2FA or time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) and an emergency access feature that lets you grant vault access to another user in case of, well, an emergency. Form filling for identities and payment info is included with this tier, but on the desktop versions only. There's also a password generator and an innovative feature called Bitwarden Send for sharing sensitive text-based information.īitwarden will auto-fill usernames and passwords through its browser extensions on the desktop and with the Bitwarden mobile apps on iOS and Android.

Users on Bitwarden's Free plan get unlimited password and secure-note storage across as many devices as they want. The Premium plan is a bargain when compared to similar tiers offered by other password managers, which often run about $35 per year. The free tier comes with most of the basic features you'd want in a password manager, making it a good option if you're just looking for safe storage. Bitwarden offers three pricing tiers for consumer accounts: Free, Premium ($10 per year) and Family ($40 per year).
