Not particularly surprising for a free app, but be aware that support for Bitwarden is of the self help variety. Although it is limited only to email and an authenticator app in the free version (the paid version adds support for YubiKey, FIDO2 and Duo), it's still a welcome additional security that you usually have to pay for. There's also the two-step login, better known as two factor authentication, an industry wide recommended best security practice.

Notable features of the free tier include multi-device sync, two users, free cloud hosting, unlimited passwords and devices, and finally being able to share the vault items with another user. That out of the way, Bitwarden’s free plan tier has a surprisingly large number of features, including ones usually found only in paid plans we also appreciate that it states “Free forever” right below the plan so you can have some confidence entrusting Bitwarden with your passwords, and there won’t be a charge in the future. Less expected, is that while the software is open source, and there is a free tier of consumer plan, above that for consumers there are two tiers of paid plans, that while quite affordable, still have a cost. Naturally, the free plan is only for consumers, as there are two tiers of paid plans for businesses. It includes almost everything consumers, teams, and businesses require in a password manager. Bitwarden is open-source software, user-friendly and highly secure.
