# Getting Started with Bitwarden
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
## Why Bitwarden?
|
||||
|
||||
Managing dozens of passwords for work and personal accounts is overwhelming, and without secure storage, password reuse can put your accounts at risk.
|
||||
Managing dozens of passwords for work and personal accounts is overwhelming. Reusing passwords puts all your accounts at risk if one gets compromised. Bitwarden gives you a secure vault for all your credentials, accessible from any device.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitwarden simplifies password management by providing a secure vault for all your credentials.
|
||||
digiBandit hosts its own Bitwarden server (VaultWarden), so your passwords are stored on our infrastructure in Canada, not on a third-party cloud.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
For detailed setup instructions, contact digiBandit IT Services or visit your client portal.
|
||||
## Setup Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Get Your Invitation
|
||||
|
||||
Your digiBandit technician will send you an email invitation to join your organization's Bitwarden vault. Click the link in the email to create your account.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Create Your Master Password
|
||||
|
||||
Choose a strong master password. This is the only password you'll need to remember. Make it long and unique. A passphrase (e.g., "correct-horse-battery-staple") works well.
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** If you lose your master password, we cannot recover it. Write it down and store it somewhere safe.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Install the Apps
|
||||
|
||||
| Platform | Where to Get It |
|
||||
|----------|----------------|
|
||||
| **Browser Extension** | Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, Edge Add-ons |
|
||||
| **Desktop App** | bitwarden.com/download |
|
||||
| **Mobile App** | App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Configure the Server
|
||||
|
||||
When you first open Bitwarden, you need to point it to our self-hosted server:
|
||||
|
||||
1. On the login screen, tap the **region selector** or **Self-hosted** option
|
||||
2. Enter the server URL provided by your technician
|
||||
3. Log in with the account you created in step 2
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Start Saving Passwords
|
||||
|
||||
- When you log into a website, Bitwarden will offer to save the credentials
|
||||
- You can also manually add entries for accounts, Wi-Fi passwords, secure notes, and more
|
||||
- Use the **password generator** to create strong, unique passwords for each account
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- **Enable auto-fill** in the browser extension for one-click logins
|
||||
- **Use the mobile app** for filling passwords in apps on your phone
|
||||
- **Share passwords** with team members using your organization's shared collections (ask your technician to set this up)
|
||||
- **Enable biometrics** (fingerprint or Face ID) on mobile for quick vault access
