ONE PASSWORD MANAGER to rule them all. That’s the dream, and Bitwarden is the reality! It’s free and open source, works across your devices and has everything you’d normally find in an expensive alternative such as LastPass or 1Password. There is a Premium tier, but it’s only $10/year and no core functionality is locked behind it.
Bitwarden is easy to set up. First, sign up for a free account at https://bitwarden.com. You need to supply your email address, name and a master password. This will be the last password you need to remember; you can also head to https://bit.ly/3PpdKmF to generate a strong password or “passphrase” (three random words).
You can log in to your vault through any browser at https://vault.bitwarden.com,but a better bet is to install the desktop app (and Safari extension) from the Mac App Store. Other browsers are also supported — visit https://bitwarden.com/download, plus don’t forget to install the free iPhone and iPad apps too.
HOW TO Use Bitwarden in Safari
After installing the desktop app, launch Safari and click Turn On Extension when prompted. Click the Bitwarden icon and choose “Always Allow on Every Website” twice before clicking again to log in.
Open Safari > Settings > AutoFill and uncheck all four entries as shown to disable Keychain. Bitwarden supports autofill, but note the warning under Bitwarden’s Settings > AutoFill; use the Cmd+Shift+L shortcut instead.
