How To Setting BitWarden Application Login Using a PIN

What is BitWarden?

If you are a free LastPass account user, you definitely don’t like the new policy where free account users are only allowed to access one device. But don’t worry, now there is an application that is almost the same as the LastPass application, which is a password manager service that you can use to store all your online account passwords. The application is called BitWarden

BitWarden is a Password Manager which was developed in an open source manner, and according to the message on its main page, BitWarden is selling trust in their service “The Most Trusted Open Source Password Manager for Business”.

Why BitWarden and not others?

We recommend using BitWarden over other similar applications because BitWarden has several advantages. Here are some of them:

1. Unlimited Vault Items. Now this is one of the important parts, where most other Password Managers only provide a limited space for the number of how many passwords are stored, BitWarden offers unlimited storage even if you are using a free account though.
2. Sync On All Devices. LastPass started to eliminate its multi-device Sync capabilities (for free account users), BitWarden still offers this important feature, where you can of course sync passwords on your Smartphone and then open it on your Desktop.
3. Password Generator. It’s incomplete if the Password manager doesn’t have a Password Generator, and take it easy, BitWarden also offers this feature, where you can generate passwords to be stored in the Bitwarden database.

 

After discussing a little bit about BitWarden, one of the things that we think is mandatory for BitWarden extension users in the browser to do is to activate the login function using a PIN, because as we already know, when the browser closes or the device restarts, we have to re-enter the master password which is shared by us. some people find it impractical.

Now with regard to this, on this occasion we will summarize brief steps on how to set up a BitWarden login using a PIN. Here are the steps.

How to Setup BitWarden Login Using a PIN

Step 1. First, make sure that the BitWarden extension is installed in the browser you are using.

Step 2. Next, after you log into your BitWarden account via the extension, please enter Settings.

Step 3. In the settings of BitWarden, please check the Unlock With PIN option.

Next, please enter the PIN that you will use, and a little suggestion, it’s good “Lock with master password on browser restart” you also check the checklist to add security. But if you want a simpler login method, just remove the checklist.

When finished, please click Submit, and with that now the BitWarden login method in your browser already uses a PIN.

If your laptop supports fingerprint, you can also use the Unlock with biometrics method, for an even faster login method.

So, please try guys, hopefully it’s useful.
