I want to save my bank account details including passwods, credit card no & PIN on bitwarden. So,here are my questions:-
-
Is it really safe to do so?
-
How Bitwarden ensure our data safety from their end?
-
what can be the worst consequences of saving too much sensitive information like bank passwords on bitwarden?
-
What preventives can be taken regarding this [safety of data, specially bank data] ?
Note: I have 2FA enabled with authy, Does this make any change to the answers of the above questions?
-
Yes it is. Don't use a password manager if you don't trust it's security.
-
Two points here. First is your encrypted vault is stored in Azure, which is a Microsoft product. Microsoft is the one who would have to be compromised. Second is if they were compromised and your vault was leaked (like has happened in the past with other password managers), the vault is encrypted. The encryption makes the vault useless to anyone would would try to read it (unless your Bitwarden password was really weak).
-
That someone gets a hold of your unlocked vault and has literally all of your online passwords, your email, bank logins, and the like.
-
The biggest factor in security isn't the program it's the user. Writing the password on a sticky note next to the computer, sharing passwords, getting phished, having you computer compromised, etc. The biggest thing you can do is to take steps in being proactively secure. Lock the vault aggressively, keep your computer and network secured, have a strong password, etc.

I assume you mean that you use 2FA to log into Bitwarden? Yes, that helps greatly. Say your Bitwarden log in and pass were compromised, the 2FA would protect you.
Re: the other posts saying to split into between 2 managers or keep the pass in your head
It increases the level of security sure. It's really up to you on how much convenience you want to trade for security. I trust myself enough to just have Bitwarden + a ridiculous password.
as a matter of prudence, its best to keep banking, primary email, and financial information off of any password manager. Generate them using a password manager but store them in your head, with a copy kept somewhere secure.
Is it safe to store passwords in Bitwarden?
Bitwarden’s open-source software is regularly audited by top third-party security firms and consistently scores high marks for keeping your passwords safe. End-to-end 256-bit encryption, two-factor authentication (2FA) plus a master password that not even Bitwarden can access provides stellar security for your passwords.
What information does Bitwarden encrypt?
Has Bitwarden been breached?
And assuming it is, what's the safest way to go about doing so?
How safe is it to put homebanking logins inside Bitwarden? What's the security level and what does it depend on? Does it depend solely and exclusively on the strength and length of the master password I'll use?
I am a new user and want to switch from default Google password manager to bitwardern so that i can use my passwords seamless. But am concerned that if it is safe to use and can my passwords be compromised like LastPass wass hacked?
I just realized I have put all my bank details in bitwarden for months. Including the security key. Is it my mistake? How many you guys do it? Or is it just me. My bitwarden account is guarded with 2fa.
Just worried, could someone explain to me how it stays safe. I do have 2FA, mostly use BW app and extension.
