Bitwarden

Bitwarden is useful for personal accounts, multiple devices and reducing password reuse. It is particularly helpful if you currently keep passwords in a document, browser or memory. To share information with others, check the differences between your personal vault and the available organisation features.

Start with a few accounts and check that you can sign in again. Keep recovery details somewhere safe before removing your old password list.

Encrypted vault contents do not make all administrative account information invisible. Also protect your email account and the devices where you unlock the vault. Check the domain whenever using autofill. A password manager helps manage login details, but does not protect against every action on a deceptive website or malware on an unlocked computer.

Some sharing and security features are paid. You cannot simply have a forgotten master password reset to make the vault readable again.

A CSV export contains readable secrets. For backups, prefer a suitable encrypted export and store its password safely. Account-restricted exports and password-protected exports have different recovery capabilities. Test your chosen recovery method before removing old copies.

Bitwarden is a practical choice for using a different password on every website and accessing your vault on several devices. Vault contents are encrypted before being stored by the service. Everyday security therefore depends on a strong master password, suitable locking settings and a recovery plan you can access outside your own vault.

The benefits grow as you use more accounts and devices. Before importing everything, check how to sign in on a new device and recover access without your phone. A recovery method you can reach independently matters more than small interface differences. Include website addresses in your checks so autofill uses the correct account.
