Bitwarden Basics on Windows and Android

Bitwarden’s free tier covers syncing passwords between Windows and Android. The hard part is building the habit of saving new logins.

Bitwarden Basics on Windows and Android

First week setup

  1. Create an account with a strong master password + written recovery plan.
  2. Install desktop app/browser extension and Android app.
  3. Import from browser once, then stop saving passwords in the browser.
  4. Enable MFA on the Bitwarden account.

If something fails

Never reuse the master password elsewhere. If you forget it without emergency access, the vault is gone by design.
