Vaultwarden

Vaultwarden is an unofficial Bitwarden server implementation written in Rust. It is compatible with the official Bitwarden clients, and is ideal for self-hosted deployments where running the official resource-heavy service is undesirable.

Vaultwarden is targeted towards individuals, families, and smaller organizations. Development of features that are mainly useful to larger organizations (e.g., single sign-on, directory syncing, etc.) is not a priority, though high-quality PRs that implement such features would be welcome.

Supported features

Vaultwarden implements the Bitwarden APIs required for most functionality, including:

• Web interface (equivalent to https://vault.bitwarden.com/)
• Personal vault support
• Organization vault support
• Password sharing and access control
• Collections
• File attachments
• Folders
• Favorites
• Website icons
• Bitwarden Authenticator (TOTP)
• Bitwarden Send
• Emergency Access
• Live sync (WebSocket only) for desktop/browser clients/extensions
• Trash (soft delete)
• Master password re-prompt
• Personal API key
• Two-step login via email, Duo, YubiKey, and FIDO2 WebAuthn (including Nitrokeys and Solokeys)
• Directory Connector support (basic implementation, no group support)
  Only version v2.9.2 and lower is supported, v2.9.3 and up use a different login method not supported yet.
• Certain enterprise policies:
  • Two-Step Login
  • Master Password
  • Password Generator
  • Personal Ownership
  • Disable Send
  • Send Options
  • Single Organization

Issue #246 contains the comprehensive list of feature requests, both features of the official server that are missing in Vaultwarden, as well as enhancements specific to Vaultwarden.

• Bitwarden Public API / Organization API key
• Event Logs

• Admin Password Reset
• Certain enterprise policies:
  • Master Password Reset

Features that probably won't be added unless contributed:

• Single Sign-On (SSO)

• Certain enterprise policies (UI not open source, would probably need to be configured via admin page):
  • Vault Timeout
  • Disable Personal Vault Export
