Open the Bitwarden extension or app and go to the sign-in screen. In the server choice, pick the self-hosted server. As the server address, type vault.tester4.test and save it. Sign in with your e-mail address and your master password. Save a new password Whatever you put into the vault, the extension and the app see too, and fill in for you. On vault.tester4.test, in the „Vaults” menu, select „New” and choose „Login”. Fill in the „Item name”, „Username” and „Password” fields. In the „Website” field, type the address of the site: the extension offers to fill in on that site. Select „Save”. Turn on two-step login Besides the master password, a code from your phone is needed too, so a stolen password alone is not enough. In the menu on the left, open „Settings”, then „Security”. Choose the „Two-step login” tab. In the „Authenticator app” row, select „Manage” and follow the steps in the window. Then select „View recovery code” and write the code down on paper. Find weak passwords Vaultwarden shows which of your passwords are weak and which you use in more than one place. In the menu on the left, open „Reports”. Choose „Weak passwords” or „Reused passwords”. Change the password on the site concerned, then change it in the vault too. Frequently asked questions I forgot my master password. What can I do? Nobody is able to reset it, not even the box: your master password encrypts your vault. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. Why can my family member not sign up? Signing up is closed by default. Invite them in the admin panel as the first steps say, or allow sign-ups on the dashboard, on Vaultwarden's „Settings” tab. Can I share a password with the family? Yes, with an organisation. In the filter of the „Vaults” page, select „New organization”, then invite the family on the organisation's „Members” page. Do I need an account with Bitwarden? No. Vaultwarden is a server running on your box, and the Bitwarden apps and extensions connect to it. Where are my passwords, and are they backed up? On the box, encrypted. For their backup, look at the „Data and backup” tab of Vaultwarden. Documentation Official documentation ↗
