How do I log in to Vaultwarden?

Apps 108 views Markdown
  1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
  2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Vaultwarden is ready". The page refreshes itself.
  3. Click Open app.
  4. Open the link in the Admin address row and paste the value from the Admin key row.
  5. In the Users section, use Invite User to create an invitation for your own email address. No email is sent, the invitation record is enough.
  6. Go back to the Site address, choose Create account and set your master password with the same email address.
  7. In the Bitwarden apps, pick the Site address value as the server.

Further down the page, the Username row and the Password row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to Vaultwarden.

Good to know

  • Sign-up is closed to everyone. Only you open accounts, by invitation. Don't share the admin key.
  • If you forget your master password, the vault can't be recovered, because the data is encrypted with it.
  • The web vault only works over https://. If no certificate could be issued and the site opens over http://, you can't log in to the vault; connect your own domain to get https.
  • The site opens over HTTPS on a free sslip.io address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over http:// instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.

To use your own domain, see this article.

No server yet? Order a server with Vaultwarden installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
