Since your master password is so essential I recommend you go ahead and write it down and keep that in a safe or in a safe deposit box. Your vault is encrypted with that password and the only way to decrypt it is with the master password. Important: If you forget your master password there is NO reset option. It’s essential this password is secure because its the one key to all accounts inside of Bitwarden.

I have a guide here on how to set up a unique master password. Instead, changing a password just requires decrypting the master key with the old password-derived key, and re-encrypting it with the new one.The first thing you should do is create an account.Īt the top select “Create Account” button that is pointed to below.įor the master password it needs to be very secure and something you never used before. The password-derived key is not itself used to encrypt/decrypt the data, because then if the user changed their password it would be necessary to re-encrypt everything. More advanced schemes involving public key cryptography are sometimes used to enable sharing select data with other users, without giving them access to your master key or any data you didn't want to share. A simple implementation is to encrypt the master key with the password-derived key this encrypted master key can only be decrypted on the client (the server never sees the password-derived key).

This encrypted master key, along with the encrypted data, is transmitted to the user upon successful authentication. Typically the master key is stored on the server, alongside the user's data, in encrypted form. The other one is used as a "password-derived key" that is the first step to obtaining the master key for decrypting the database. One hash is used to generate a login token (used like a password) which is sent to the server (where it gets additional hashing, and possibly also requires stuff like MFA). The user password is pre-hashed with a slow password hashing function on the client side, twice, using different algorithms and/or salts.
