Bitwarden Learning

Getting started as a Free Organization admin

1. Create an Account and Master Password

Use your email (ex. thomas@company.com) to create an account directly through the Bitwarden self-registration page.

On the create your account screen, you will be prompted to set up a Master Password which you will use to access your vault. Be sure to store this somewhere securely as Bitwarden can not reset it for you. Use the Bitwarden Password Generator to help create a strong password or a memorable passphrase.

2. Create an Organization

Create your Organization by clicking on the + New Organization on the top left of your Web app. You will need to set the name of your organization

3. Get to know your vault

As an administrator, you will be able to store items (logins, cards, identities, and secure notes) in both your personal vault and your Organization vault.

4. Invite additional users to your Organization

Invite the other member of your Organization. In the invitation email, the user will be directed to accept the invitation by either logging into their existing Bitwarden account or creating a new one.

5. Create Collections

Your free Organization vault allows your team to share as many items as you would like using up to two Collections.

6. Import your passwords

Bring your previously saved passwords from a wide variety of other password managers or those saved inside your browser. We have more information on our help site about importing data to your personal vault and your shared Organization vault.
