A password manager stores all your logins in an encrypted vault, protected by a single strong master password. Bitwarden is one such manager, and its code is open source, which means independent experts can inspect it.
Choose a master password that you can remember but others cannot guess, and keep a written recovery method somewhere safe. Turn on two-step verification for your vault as explained in our account security guide.
The basic features are free, with optional paid plans. Check the official page for current details.
A password manager only helps if you can get back into it. The two things to get right are a long master password you can remember and a recovery method kept somewhere safe. After that, the benefit is large: you stop reusing passwords, and one breached website no longer puts your other accounts at risk. Start with email, banking and shopping accounts, then add the rest slowly.
Someone who used the same password on five sites hears about a data breach. With a manager they change the important ones to unique passwords in one evening and are no longer worried about which site leaked.

It cannot be recovered by anyone else, so write a recovery note and keep it safe.
A well-protected, encrypted vault with two-step login is generally safer than reusing the same password everywhere.
