Bitwarden review
A password vault with TOTP, suited to people who want both in one product.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Bitwarden is an open-source password manager with an integrated TOTP authenticator, aimed at people who want password storage and one-time codes alongside each other. Its encrypted vault stores logins, notes, cards, identities, and passkeys, with autofill through browser extensions and mobile apps. The Free plan includes basic password management, unlimited devices and passwords, and passkey management and use. For an authenticator-focused buyer who does not need a vault, its wider scope may be more than necessary; its fit is strongest when password management is part of the need.
Pricing is based on annual subscriptions, according to the vendor's pricing page. Premium costs USD 1.65 per month and adds the integrated authenticator, file attachments, emergency access, security reports, and sharing vault items with one other user. Families costs USD 3.99 per month and includes six premium accounts, unlimited sharing and collections, and organization storage. Teams is USD 4 per user per month, with secure credential sharing, event logs, directory synchronization, and SCIM provisioning. Enterprise costs USD 6 per user per month and adds granular access control, passwordless SSO integration, account recovery, self-hosting flexibility, Access Intelligence risk remediation, and a free Families plan for all users. Large organizations can also talk to sales about a tailored plan.
Platform coverage includes web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, browser extensions, and self-hosting. The listed integrations include identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Duo, and Google, alongside security and logging services including Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel. Teams and Enterprise offer organization-oriented controls; those selecting an authenticator alone may prefer a narrower product. Choose Bitwarden when you want TOTP within a password-management vault, with family or business sharing available as needs grow.
