You will be directed to the instructions for account deletion directly through the app. You have to delete your Bitwarden account and start a new one from scratch. If you forget/lose your old password, then, unfortunately, it cannot be revived. Look at the navigation bar at the bottom, then choose Settings > Scroll down to Account > Change Master Password.Ĭaution: In order to change the master password, you need to insert your old password into the system. Just go into the Web Vault of the Bitwarden app. You can change the password after you make it.
The main password is the only one you need to remember in order to open all the apps and websites that you add to your Bitwarden password vault, so it’s the central password, and forgetting this simply won’t do! This password has to be unique so that it’s difficult to guess even with the password hint that you assign to it.ĭon’t even dare to use weak or compromised passwords as the main password here, as that would create a security threat of paramount degrees. You will be prompted to make a master password when you get started with Bitwarden. However, Bitwarden stands out among other such open-source desktop apps through the usability and guidance that it provides to users. They have a stiffer learning curve than apps with closed sources. I've attached a little diagram to make it more obvious.īeta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.Many open-source applications are generally more complicated. I just had to update my local DNS server to point at the reverse proxy rather than directly at the Vaultwarden server. I was getting the message "This browser requires https to use the web vault" when ever I tried to access the server via a web browser. Where I got stuck was how to get my local LAN traffic to use HTTPS. Again see the many YouTube videos on this. Make sure your firewall has NAT configured to forward traffic to your reverse proxy and you're good to go. For external access you just set your CNAME for your Vaultwarden instance to the external address of your network using DDNS. The issue then arrises, how do I force all traffic to my Vaultwarden server through the reverse proxy? There are many great videos on YouTube on how to setup these extra components. If you are wanting to self host a docker for Vaultwarden then you should have the technical skills to setup a docker for a reverse proxy in combination with DDNS.
The reverse proxy can then manage the HTTPS side of things. So what you have to do is forward all access through a reverse proxy (Nginx, Caddy, Swag, etc). They just want to focus on their actual app. The main issue is that you can only access Vaultwarden via HTTPS but Vaultwarden like many projects don't want to have to trouble themselves with the difficulty of providing HTTPS, managing keys etc. Just thought I would add a comment here because I hit the same issue myself and most of the documentation I found doesn't really talk about this.
