Bitwarden2026.9.1

Store passwords, passkeys, and other secrets in Bitwarden’s encrypted vault, then retrieve them when signing in to online accounts. It can create long, unique passwords and generate usernames or email aliases to reduce reuse of personal details. The vault also supports sharing credentials with friends, family, teams, and enterprises through permissions that control access.

Individuals use Bitwarden for personal credential management, while organizations can manage employee passwords and sensitive information across an entire workforce. Its credential lifecycle features cover creation, everyday use, rotation, retirement, and succession, helping teams retain access during employee transitions. Bitwarden also supports securing AI applications and agents with the same approach to secret management.

The publicly available source code can be inspected, and its security claims have undergone independent verification. Organizations can tailor deployments with policies, integrations, developer tools, and administrative settings to match their operating requirements. As an open-source password manager, it serves startups, larger businesses, security leaders, and people who want stronger control over their credentials.

Bitwarden 2026.9.0 is freeware in the Security & Privacy category for MacOS, with support for Intel and Apple Silicon systems. It requires macOS 12 Monterey or a later release.
