Never Forget a Password Again: Intro to Bitwarden 🛡️
Secure your digital life with the best free, open-source password manager. Learn to store, generate, and sync credentials securely.
Using the same password for every website is a recipe for disaster. 😱 Bitwarden is the solution: a free, open-source password manager that encrypts your data locally before it ever leaves your device. It syncs across all your devices, meaning you only ever need to remember one 'Master Password'.
Step 1: The Setup
Create a free account at Bitwarden.com.
Crucial: Choose a strong Master Password. If you lose this, you lose your vault!
Install the Browser Extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and the Mobile App.
Step 2: Generating Unbreakable Passwords
Stop using 'Password123'. When signing up for a new site, open the Bitwarden extension and click Generator. It creates complex strings that hackers can't guess.

Click the extension icon and select the account to fill.
Shortcut: Press Ctrl + Shift + L (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + L (Mac) to auto-fill instantly! ⚡
