Bitwarden: Passwords, Secrets & Passkeys

Password Manager

Browser extension auto-fills credentials, generates strong passwords, and syncs securely across your team via shared org vaults with role-based access. For DevOps: store API keys, tokens, and infrastructure secrets separately from user credentials, with audit logs and fine-grained access controls.

Passkeys

Full passkey support — phishing-resistant, hardware-backed auth stored in your vault. Not locked to any one device. Works cross-platform across your whole team.
