Bitwarden is a highly used password manager that uses published open source code that is used to secure and managing sensitive online data such as passwords, passkeys, and credit cards. By default access to your Bitwarden vault is protected by you master password, but access to your account can be further protected by using your SafeKey Fido device.
You can use our SafeKey range of Fido keys during the Bitwarden logon procedure by using the keys either as a passwordless FIDO2 solution (using the key and a PIN code), or you can use the keys as a second factor in a two step login solution.
