Frequently Asked Questions

Why move passwords out of Chrome?

Browser-built-in password managers lock you into one browser ecosystem and lack cross-platform passkey/vault controls and independent security audits.

Is Bitwarden free?

Yes—Bitwarden's core individual plan is free and open source across all browsers and devices, and you can also self-host it (or Vaultwarden).
