Vault Items
Bitwarden can securely store more than just usernames and passwords. There are five types of items you can store in your vault:
Login: Store username and password combinations for easy autofill on browser extensions, on iOS apps and on Android apps. Login items can also store passkeys and, for Premium users, verification codes.
Card: Store credit or debit card information for easy autofill on browser extensions and Android apps during online checkouts.
Identity: Store identity information, like mailing addresses, for easy autofill on browser extensions and Android apps during a variety of online form submissions.
Secure note: Store freeform text for any kind of information you want protected.
SSH key: Use Bitwarden as an SSH agent.
