Don't feed the phish! Block it with Bitwarden

Thanks to AI, phishing attacks have become a bigger threat than ever before. They are now over 4151% more frequent since the release of ChatGPT in 2022, according to a study by SlashNext. AI has enabled attackers to swiftly scale their phishing operations, using AI agents and automations to quickly generate and deploy attacks. 

Bitwarden phishing blocker stops these threats before they can fool you. When you attempt to visit a known phishing site - whether from an email link, text message, or mistyped URL -  the Bitwarden browser extension will automatically detect the danger, warn you, and redirect you to a safe notification page, helping you steer clear of scams and keep your credentials secure.

Phishing sites are identified via a regularly updated open-source repository, phishing.database. This repository is maintained by a community of vigilant cybersecurity experts and is in line with the Bitwarden priority of open source security. When the Bitwarden browser extension detects that a website in the phishing database is attempting to load, the user will be redirected to a secure notification page. This ensures that no matter the source of the phishing attack — including email, text, typo squatting, or ad-content — malicious sites are stopped before they cause further harm.

The Bitwarden phishing blocker is the newest addition to existing Bitwarden capabilities that protect users from phishing attacks — continuing the vision of ensuring no one gets hacked. 

Bitwarden also supports to following capabilities for phishing protection: 

• Passkey support for phishing-resistant authentication

• Autofill credentials on only trusted sites associated with saved logins

• Directly launch associated website from saved login items 

Bitwarden phishing blocker is available for premium, family, and business plans. No set-up is required, so users can benefit from the blocker right away! Free plans can begin using Bitwarden phishing blocker by upgrading to premium, or continue benefiting from free phishing protection like autofill. For free plans looking to upgrade, simply navigate to the Settings section in the web app and select Go Premium.
