About Bitwarden

Bitwarden is an open-source password manager that offers unlimited passwords on unlimited devices in its free plan. Vaults are end-to-end encrypted and regularly audited by third parties, and the source code is public. Premium adds built-in two-factor codes, encrypted file attachments and emergency access at a low yearly price, while business plans add admin controls and single sign-on. Organizations that need full control can self-host the server. Bitwarden is a common destination for people leaving LastPass or looking for a free alternative to 1Password.

Best for: Anyone who wants a free, open-source password manager.
