This release includes:

  * SSO with trusted devices: SSO with trusted devices allows users
    to authenticate using SSO and decrypt their vault-stored
    encryption key without entering a master password (see here).

  * Manager collection access: To reduce visibility to non-essential
    data, managers can now only see collections that they are
    assigned to.

 

2023.8.0

This release includes:

  * Secrets Manager - General availability: Bitwarden Secrets Manager
    is now generally available for empowering developers, DevOps, and
    cybersecurity teams to centrally store, manage, automate, and
    deploy secrets at scale. Learn more about Secrets Manager plans
    and sign up today.

  * Import to a folder or collection: Import data directly to an

    editing and creating projects and secrets, and the syntax used by

2023.7.0

    generator to Forward Email for easy creation of email aliases
    (see here).

    on page load (see here).

  * Policies - Renamed Admin password reset: The Admin password reset
    policy is now named Account recovery administration (see here).

  * Use auto-fill in <textarea>s: Bitwarden apps can now auto-fill

    collections can now be created from the main Vaults page using
    the New button.

 

Secrets Manager beta

This release includes:

  * Secrets Manager - Service account write access: Service accounts
    can now be granted write access to projects and secrets (see here
    ).

    tip

    Fully utilizing write access for service accounts is dependent on
    a forthcoming CLI release. For now, this simply makes the option
    available in the UI. Stay tuned to the Release Notes for more
    information.

  * Secrets Manager - Bulk user management: Organization members can
    now be added to Secrets Manager in bulk (see here).

 

2023.5.0

warning

Beginning with the 2023.5.0 release, Password Manager desktop apps
will no longer support Windows 8.1 and older or Windows Server 2012
and older.

Users of these operating systems may download a 2023.4.0 desktop app 
here and must disable automatic updates (learn more here). We
recommend upgrading to a supported operating system, as old client
versions are not guaranteed to be supported by Bitwarden cloud
servers long-term and may present security risks to you in the
future.

This release includes:

  * Environment selector: The workflow for connecting Bitwarden apps
    to self-hosted servers was improved. See here.

  * Password Manager - Improved auto-fill for German HTML:
    German-language HTML fields are now available for auto-fill. See
    here.

  * Self-hosting - Clarification to language around server licensing:
    There is a grace period of 60 days to upload a new license to
    replace an expired one. See here.

  * Low KDF alert: A new alert will appear in the web app when a
    user's KDF iterations are lower than industry recommendations,
    currently 600,000 iterations. See here.

 

Secrets Manager beta

This release includes:

  * Secrets Manager - Create project during secret creation: You can
    now create a new project in the secret creation menu. See here.

 

2023.4.0

This release includes:

  * Splunk integration: Bitwarden organizations can now use
    self-hosted Splunk Enterprise for security information and event
    management (SIEM). Learn how to get started with Splunk here.

  * Improved reseller billing: Bitwarden resellers will now be the
    only entities with access to see billing, subscription, or
    payment information for their customer organizations. See here.

  * Master password requirements policy update: If enabled, the
    master password requirements policy can now be set to prompt
    pre-existing non-compliant users to update their master
    passwords. See here.

  * Vault timeout policy update: The vault timeout policy now
    provides the option to designate vault timeout actions. See here.

  * Desktop - New biometrics options: You can now choose whether to
    require a master password on app start or allow biometrics on
    launch. See here.

  * Desktop - Windows Hello security improvements: A vulnerability
    related to Windows Hello and Windows Credential Manager has been
    addressed. As an additional measure, we recommend using the new
    option to require a master password on app start. See here.

  * Browser extension - Improved form detection: The logic for form
    detection has been improved and bug reports addressed for the
    browser extension's notification bar. For a technical breakdown,
    see here.

 

2023.3.0

This release includes:

  * Domain verification: Organizations can verify ownership of
    domains (e.g. mycompany.com), allowing users to skip the
    organization identifier step when using login with SSO. See here.

  * Browser Extension - Improved auto-fill security: Browser
    extensions will now disallow auto-fill on page load for untrusted
    iframes. Browser extensions will also warn users about untrusted
    iframes when manually auto-filling, using the context menu, or
    using keyboard shortcuts, and will warn users when auto-filling
    HTTP sites that expect HTTPS based on that item's saved URI(s).
    See here.

  * Master password security checks: Users can now check known data
    breaches for their prospective master password via Have I Been
    Pwned when creating an account or changing their master password
    on the web vault. See here.

  * Master password length requirement: Master passwords must now be
    at least 12 characters long. This rule will be enforced for new
    Bitwarden accounts and for any users that change their master
    password.

  * Activate auto-fill policy: For Enterprise organizations, the
    Activate auto-fill policy will automatically turn on auto-fill on
    page load for new and existing members of your organization. See
    here.

  * Browser Extension - Improved notification bars: Notification bars
    for adding undetected items to your vault now have more intuitive
    workflows for users subject to the Remove individual vault
    policy. See here.

  * iOS - Choose Bitwarden for verification codes: Users on iOS 16+
    can now set Bitwarden as their default application for storing
    verification codes when scanned codes directly from the camera
    app. See here.

  * Mobile - Change language in-app: Users can change the language in
    the Bitwarden mobile app to differ from the language set on their
    device OS. See here.

 

Secrets Manager beta

Bitwarden Secrets Manager is now available as an open beta. Learn how
to get started here.

 

2023.2.0

This release includes:

note

Self-host Announcement

In this release, we've migrated to a new SQL client which expects
either a valid certificate or the presence of TrustServerCertificate=
True in the connection string set in global.override.env. Please
check for one of these before updating your server.

  * Argon2: You can now change the algorithm used to derive your
    account's master key to Argon2id from the Account settings -
    Security - Keys page. See here.

    note

    2023-02-14: Argon2 is supported by Bitwarden clients version
    2023.2.0 and later, and switching to Argon2 via the web vault
    could mean other clients will not be able to load your vault
    until they're updated, typically within a week after release.

  * Increased default KDF iterations for PBKDF2: New Bitwarden
    accounts will use 600,000 KDF iterations for PBKDF2, as
    recommended by OWASP. Existing accounts can manually increase
    this number. See here.

  * Master password security checks: New users who create their
    accounts on mobile apps, browser extensions, and desktop apps can
    now check known data breaches for their prospective master
    password via HIBP. This will be brought to the web vault in a
    future release. See here.

  * Organization vault updates: As part of an ongoing effort to
    improve the web vault UI, some organization administration
    functions were redesigned, for example a consolidated Vault view
    for item and collection management as well as dedicated Members 
    and Groups views.

  * Log in with device on additional clients: Log in with device is
    now available on additional clients. Login requests can now also
    be initiated from browser extensions, desktop apps, and mobile
    apps and can now also be approved from desktop apps. See here.

  * Automatic license sync for self-hosted organizations: Self-hosted
    organizations can enable automatic license sync in order to
    automatically update billing and subscription changes instead of
    having to manually re-upload licenses. See here.

  * SQLite DB option for Bitwarden unified: SQLite is now an
    available database option for Bitwarden unified self-hosted
    deployments. See here.

  * Updated self-hosted installer URLs: The URLs for downloading
    self-hosted server installers have changed. See here for Linux
    and here for Windows.

  * Psono importer (json): A new import option is available for Psono
    (json) exports. See here.

    to provide an additional option for accessing TOTP login codes.

    using a new environment variable. See here.

    Organizations, self-hosted in a future release) Starting with
    this release, members of Enterprise Organizations can redeem a

    usernames and passwords for a particular site by linking
    usernames and passwords to bespoke form elements (see here for
    details).

  * Browser Extension - Unlock Vault while Auto-filling: Trying to
    auto-fill with the context menu or keyboard shortcut when your
    Vault is locked will now prompt you to unlock your Vault and
    automatically auto-fill your credentials once it's unlocked.

    the newest clients cannot be opened on older client versions. If
    you find you're unable to access a recently-created Attachment,

    sorted by the severity of the password's weakness (see here for
    details)

take out the Trash. Starting 5/15/2021, we'll activate the nightly
job that will permanently delete items that have been in your trash
for 30 days or more.

Prior to 5/15/2021, we recommend digging through your Trash for
anything you might want to Restore!

  * Safari Web Extension Port: Our Safari App Extension has

2021-01-19 Post-Release Update

note

Biometric Unlock for Browser Extensions is available for only
Chromium-based browsers (e.g. Chrome, Edge) with v1.48.0 of the
Browser Extension, provided you have the latest version (2021-01-19)
of the Desktop App.

When your Browser Extension updates to this version, you may be asked
to accept a new permission for Bitwarden to Communicate with
cooperating native applications. This permission is safe, but
optional, and will enable the Browser Extension to communicate with
the Bitwarden Desktop App, which is required to enable Biometric
Unlock (see here for details). Declining this permission will allow
you to use v1.48.0 without Biometric Unlock functionality.

Biometric Unlock is currently not available for:

  * Firefox Browser Extensions below version 87.

  * Microsoft App Store Desktop Apps (a side-loaded Windows Desktop
    App, available at bitwarden.com/download/ will work fine).

  * Side-loaded MacOS Desktop Apps (an App Store Desktop app will
    work fine).

The Bitwarden team is investigating these and will provide updates as
things progress.

    encryption environment (see here for details).here

  * Encrypted Exports: Personal users and Organizations can now
    export Vault data in an encrypted .json file (see here for
    details).

  * New Enterprise Policy: The Personal Ownership policy is now
    available for use by Enterprise Organization (see here for
    details).

  * Biometric Unlock for Browser Extensions: Using an integration
    with a native Desktop application, you can now use Biometric
    input to unlock Chromium-based Browser Extensions (see here for
    details).

    the way users are onboarded via SSO to prevent potential security
    risks (see here for details).

    asked to acknowledge a Privacy Policy on registration.
