September 2024 Spotlight: Stay safe online this Cybersecurity Awareness Month

How to respond if an online account is hacked
If you notice messages you didn't send or a login from an unfamiliar device, it could mean your account has been compromised. These five steps can help you minimize the damage and get proactive about your account security.

Should you be using passkeys?
In the simplest terms, a passkey is a way to log in to accounts without using a password. Because there is no password to steal, passkeys are a phishing-resistant way to lock down your online accounts. In just 8 minutes, you can learn how passkeys work and how they enhance your security. Bonus: the Bitwarden inline autofill menu now matches passkeys saved in your vault for sites that support passkey autofill!

Is there a way for someone to access my Bitwarden vault items in case of an emergency?
There is! Users with a Premium subscription can proactively assign trusted emergency contacts with access to their vault in an emergency situation. To set yours up, check out the Emergency Access feature.

I need an old password! Can I view the history of a password that I changed in Bitwarden?
Yes! You can view the last five passwords for any login item stored in your Bitwarden vault. Open the item in question and select the number next to ‘password history’ near the bottom of the window.

Can I personalize the theme style of the Bitwarden app?
You can! The Bitwarden web vault, browser extension, desktop app, and mobile app come packed with varying dark and light themes. Find your new favorite theme in the Preferences section under Settings.
