Managing Your Account & User Settings

Vaultwarden gives users control over their security and account preferences. This page walks through how to update your information, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), and export your vault data (if needed).

Updating Your Account Information

To update your email, name, or language settings:

  1. Log into the Vaultwarden web app.
  2. Click your profile icon in the upper-right corner.
  3. Select Account Settings.
  4. Edit the fields as needed and click Save.

Changing your email address will require re-verification.

Changing Your Master Password

Your master password is the key to your entire vault. To change it:

  1. Navigate to Account Settings → Security tab.
  2. Click Change Master Password.
  3. Enter your current password, then the new one twice.
  4. Click Save.

Use a long passphrase you can remember. This password cannot be recovered if lost.

Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

  1. In Account Settings → Security → Two-Step Login tab.
  2. Click Manage under the providers tab.
  3. Choose Authenticator App (TOTP).

  4. Scan the QR code using an app like:

    • Google Authenticator
    • Authy
    • Microsoft Authenticator
    • Enter the generated code and click Enable.

Keep your backup codes somewhere safe. You'll need them if you lose access to your device.

Exporting Your Vault

You can export your vault as an encrypted or plaintext file:

  1. Go to Tools → Export vault.
  2. Choose your export format (CSV or JSON).
  3. Re-enter your master password.
  4. Click Export vault.

Exported files are not encrypted! Only do this in a secure environment and delete the file immediately after use.

Deleting Your Account

To delete your Vaultwarden account permanently:

  1. Go to Account Settings → Danger Zone.
  2. Click Delete Account.
  3. Confirm your master password and approve the deletion.

This action cannot be undone. Your vault data will be permanently lost.
