#Vaultwarden implementation of [[Bitwarden]] [[API]] fully compatible with upstream [[Bitwarden]] clients [[Vaultwarden]] is the backend where all secrets are securely stored, which requires a frontend application from [[Bitwarden]] to fully utilise with logins. [[Bitwarden]] frontend applications need to be downloaded to all relevant devices. Device support is extensive, as follows: - Desktop ([[Linux]], [[MacOS]], [[Windows]]) - Web Browser Extensions ([[Brave]], [[Chrome]], [[Edge]], [[Firefox]], [[Safari]], [[Tor]], [[Vivaldi]], etc) - Mobile ([[Android]], [[iOS]]) There is also a [[Bitwarden]] Authenticator app, used when [[2FA]] is enabled for logins. My suggestion is to instead either use the [Google Authenticator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Authenticator), which has ubiquitous support. The [[Bitwarden]] Web Application cannot be used, as it attempts to access a [[Bitwarden]] backend. Instead the [[Vaultwarden]] Web Application should be used. ![[bitwarden-web-app.png]] # Organisation The [[Vaultwarden]] store is a vault, organised as follows: A vault consists of items and users, organised in several ways/views. An **item** can be a: - Card - Identity - Login - Note Grouping - Folders - group items for organisational purposes only (no sharing) Sharing - Organisations - relate users to items for secure sharing - Users - Items - Collections - group items for secure sharing - Groups - group users Groups can be organisational entities within an organisation (e.g. departments). Collections can be functional entities within an organisation (e.g. social media, locality, roles) # References [Vaultwarden - GitHub](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden) [Vaultwarden - Wiki](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki) [Bitwarden - Help Center](https://bitwarden.com/help) [Bitwarden - Download Frontend Applications](https://bitwarden.com/download/) ![[buy-me-a-coffee#coffee]]
