Vaultwarden User Guide

Secure your digital life with a self-hosted password manager.

Welcome to the Vaultwarden User Guide. This documentation is designed to help individuals securely manage their passwords, notes, and sensitive data using the Vaultwarden platform — a lightweight, self-hosted alternative to Bitwarden.

Whether you're brand new to password managers or transitioning from a cloud-based service, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know as an end user.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to log into your Vaultwarden account
  • How to store, organize, and retrieve your credentials
  • How to enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
  • How to use the browser extension for autofill
  • How to securely share credentials with others

Who Is This For?

This guide is intended for end users of Vaultwarden — not system administrators or developers. If your Vaultwarden instance is already set up, you’re in the right place.

If you’re looking to install or configure Vaultwarden, check the official GitHub repository.
