What happens if I'm traveling and lose my phone & wallet, and then I need to borrow someone's phone or computer to access accounts? I suppose I'd navigate to the Bitwarden website and log in to get all of the passwords I need. If I had 2FA turned on though, I would be screwed, right? Or do you keep your email password as something that you memorize and turn off 2FA for your email login?

just wondering if i have an account say with amazon on my laptop and i have the same account on my ipad does this change the password for both on the two machines

Hi, thank you for this useful tutorial. Do you recommend printing out your passwords in your vault or writing them down incase there are technical difficulties with Bitwarden? Thanks

Always keep a backup on a piece of paper in a very safe place at home.

How can I know when you have a new post in your website?

I've created a new BW account and imported my Lastpass vault. The vault appears in BW but when I try to launch an account neither my ID or PW populate. Any advice?

Bitwarden doesn't auto populate items when a page loads like LastPass. You can turn that setting on by going into the extension -> settings -> options -> under the autofill section check the box that says "auto-fill on page load". I also show other ways to login it at 12:00 in the video.

Can also try Alt-F or ctrl-shift-L to Auto-fill passwords. Agreed it's not quite as effortless as LastPass.

Cannot create Account.After I have added e-mail Password etc, press create account, then it asks if I am human and gives me funny little pictures (too small for my old eyes) to verify, and I can go no further. What now?

I have like 10 gmails like that i use currently for games and stuff i regret using a bunch but oh well is it smart to put all my gmails and emails into this app?????????????????

is this free version? does it sync to all your devices? mobile and desktop?

Email 2FA is less secure than SMS which is not best but at least it is another device

Hello, I think it is pretty common advice at this time to leave LastPass. With that, I am the person tasked by friends and family to find a new home for us. I originally (last week) selected 1Password due to reviews and recommendations However... it is ia bit of a pain in the 'beep' Does Bitwarden function more easily than 1Password? Does Bitwarden have the annoying Secret Key? (that thing is making life miserable). My wife and I have been locked out on several devices several times and always have to find the secret key and if you type it many times it says that it isn't correct?? There is no way, carrying around a print out in your wallet and purse of a secret key can be considered safe? So, your original guide seemed to show an easier UI with Bitwarden but a secret key is a deal breaker for me, my wife, my friends and relatives (Given I'm the guy put in charge of signing up and testing for easy use before we all depart LassPass. Thanks!!

Bitwarden does not use a secret key, but you should still make a good master password. I suggest writing down your master password and 2FA recovery code and keeping it somewhere safe in your home, like an actual safe or even hidden in a book. The UI for Bitwarden has not changed much, this video adds 2FA which is a good idea to turn on and goes over a few new features. Bitwarden, like most other password managers, does have it's different ways of working, but not too hard to adjust from LastPass.

Same boat, but thankfully I'm alone. I've been dragging my feet leaving Lastpass. Its maddening because its only a matter of time before Bitwarden gets breached or something similar and we all go scurrying away like roaches when you turn the lights on.

I don't know which devices you are using, but when it comes to iOS or Android devices, loading the Secret Key can be done with a QR code. Nothing to type. For desktop or laptop computers, you can always use ProtonMail or Tutanota (end-to-end encrypted email services) and simply email yourself a copy/paste of your Secret Key. From there, you can copy/paste to the 1Password app or the browser extension. Nothing to type using that method, either. I personally went with copying it to a secure note in a Keepass vault. I have no need to type the Secret Code out as long as I can copy that file to the target device. The best thing about the Secret Key is that even if 1Password were breached and all of the vaults copied, the hackers would have no way to crack the encryption, even if they knew the passwords used. Does Bitwarden function more easily? Yes. There's no Secret Key to keep track of. You just need your password. You can also add a second factor, like a TOTP code or email address. On the downside, if Bitwarden were breached and the vaults copied, they would only need to crack your password, and they're in. Your password had better be long and strong. Cranking up your pbkdf2 iterations would help, as well.

@@neuideas GREATLY APPRECIATE your reply, that was really cool of you to type all of that out. For the moment (given the trouble the wife and I had with 1Password trial period, we only did 1 week but just too many frustration points) we have decided not to use 1Password due to the Secret Key. That said, you have provided some good points. (We have to be specific to our functional needs and given we travel there would be big frustration to be outside the country and get locked out. 2 Factor can also be a big issue for us as well given we swap out SIM cards, etc and you can from time to time end up a site texting a number you are not using, etc. I have put a stop gap path in place that I think the wife and I can live with...I will have to re-visit the password manager options again later. I agree that password management is important but it must fit into your life. Thank you again for a nice answer (the net is so frequently filled with non-friendly stuff). Have a great weekend.

@@Naminorite Bitwarden is a great choice, and much less expensive than 1Password. As it stands, I'm using 1Password on a 50%-off first year subscription, but since the renewal price, after tax, is nearly $40, I'm probably not going to renew. Bitwarden has a great browser extension, and the service does nearly everything I want in a password manager.
