Adding more security to Bitwarden user accounts | Bitwarden Blog

Bitwarden is bolstering user account security for logins from unrecognized devices. Learn more about what triggers the new verification process and who is affected.

Bitwarden users who store their email account credentials within their Bitwarden vaults would have trouble accessing the sent codes if they are unable to log in to their email.

To prevent getting locked out of your vault, be sure you can access the email associated with your Bitwarden account so you can access the emailed codes, or turn on any form of two-step login to not be subject to this process altogether.

    Use something else for 2fa not email. I used to use keepass for 2fa on my laptop and phone, but now I’m using ente auth. It’s convenient because I can login ente auth anywhere and get a code but the only thing is you’ll need to remember 2 passwords which is worth it imo.

      So I need a 2FA application? Just seems a little ridiculous as that is what I use email for. So my bw pass is well over 25 chars and I need to have another app that requires an equally strong pass. Just seems a little overkill! Especially changing passwords every year.

        You only need to enter the 2fa code once on a new device. How often do you switch devices for this to be a significant effort?
