Bitwarden Vault

Bitwarden is the password manager the office uses. A vault is where Bitwarden keeps passwords, locked with one master password.

The Shared Office Account

The office has one Bitwarden account that everyone signs in to. It holds the logins for the office’s accounts, such as Mailchimp, Canva, Zoom, and QuickBooks. When a page on this site says “the login is in the shared Bitwarden vault,” this is where to look.

To get the login for the shared account, ask the sysadmin.

Because everyone uses the same account:

  • Anyone with the login can see everything in it. Don’t save your personal passwords there.
  • Anyone can change or delete things in it. Don’t edit or delete a login unless you’re sure. If you change a password for an office account, update it in Bitwarden straight away, or nobody else will be able to sign in.
  • Never share the master password by email or text, and never write it anywhere other people can see it.

Your Own Passwords

For your personal accounts, make your own Bitwarden account. It’s free. See Password Managers for how.
