Encrypted before it leaves your device

Your master password never reaches the server. What we hold is unreadable without it.

Open source, from top to bottom

Vaultwarden on the server, official Bitwarden apps on your side. Anyone can read the code.

No ads, no data for sale

No trackers, no advertising, no data sold to anyone.

Why we exist

Putting a password manager within everyone’s reach

Most hacked accounts are hacked because the same password was used somewhere else. The remedy has been known for twenty years, yet only a minority applies it: too expensive, too technical, not in their language. Those are the three obstacles we remove.

Every person who takes up a password manager makes the internet a little safer — for themselves, but also for their family, their employer, and everyone whose accounts depend on theirs. That is all this project is after: making that step ordinary.

A free service, in your language, on a server close to home. Not many excuses left.

Why a public instance?

A password manager only helps if you actually use one. A subscription in a foreign currency, or a server you have to install and patch yourself, is where most people give up.

These instances remove that step. They are ordinary Vaultwarden servers, updated and backed up, hosted in the country they serve. You bring an email address and a master password; the rest is already set up.

If you later want your own server, export your vault in one click and take it with you. Nothing here holds you hostage.

Three steps, about ten minutes

  1. Pick your country

    The instances are independent. Take the nearest one for speed, or another if you prefer.

  2. Create your account

    An email address and a master password you will not forget. Nobody can reset it for you, and that is the point.

  3. Install Bitwarden and point it here

    The official apps work with these servers. Set the address before you log in and your vault follows you everywhere.

Choose your instance

One server per country, same software, same settings. You can move later without losing anything.

Straight answers

Who runs these servers?
An independent team of system administrators. The project is not-for-profit: nothing is sold, and running costs are covered by donations.
Can the administrator read my passwords?
No. Encryption happens in your browser or app before anything is sent. The server only ever stores a block of ciphertext it has no key for.
What happens if an instance closes?
You get notice in advance, and you can export your entire vault at any time to import it elsewhere, including onto a server of your own.
Is it really free?
Yes, including the features usually sold as premium: shared collections, authenticator codes, security reports. The one exception is file attachments: no files are stored on our servers, which keeps their disk space and the running costs under control.
How is this different from bitwarden.com?
The apps you use are the same. The difference is where your vault lives: on a community server instead of a company one.
