Bitwarden is a powerful open-source password manager that provides a solution to the password problem. In addition, Bitwarden incorporates a password generator that will help create random passwords and store them in a database.

In addition, Bitwarden has clients for Android, iOS and on the desktop, for Windows, Linux and macOS. All of them are synchronized. That is, Bitwarden can manage all your passwords and you can access them from anywhere.

Likewise, Bitwarden can be integrated into the most popular web browsers to offer even more synchronization.

Some of the main features of the application are the following:

  • It has a strong encryption system. Specifically, we are talking about AES-256 bit. That is, it is a pretty secure prototype.
  • Bitwarden is completely open-source. This means that anyone can audit the code and find security problems.
  • It allows auto-completion of logins in the browser if you use the extensions for that.
  • You can organize your vault with folders. This way you will have full control over them.

The Bitwarden desktop client is built with Electron and Angle. This means that it can be easily installed on any Linux distribution that has compliant dependencies. However, the developers provide us with different download options.

For starters, they have a DEB package that should work on Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and derivatives. This package can be installed using the following command:

:~$ sudo dpkg -i [file_path]

On the other hand, we also have an RPM package for Fedora, OpenSUSE and CentOS 8. You can install RPM package using this command:

:~$ sudo rpm -ivh [file_path]
