v by Bitwarden will be free through its initial beta period in Q1 2023, after which the company said it will offer paid plans that cover certain levels of usage and features. Bitwarden v helps them quickly add WebAuthn and passwordless authentication features into these applications.” “Enterprises also have business applications that still rely on passwords for authentication and want to provide users with passwordless experiences. “This saves weeks of coding do-it-yourself passkey implementations,” Bitwarden CEO Michael Crandell explained to TechCrunch in an email.

But by bringing v under its wing, Bitwarden wants to make it easier for developers to bake native biometric sign-in smarts into their software, while allowing enterprises to modernize their existing applications that currently rely on passwords. Last year, Apple, Google and Microsoft partnered in support of a new password-free sign-in standard called WebAuthn, while separately Apple introduced a new feature called Passkey that allows people to use their Apple device to log in to online services without passwords.Įlsewhere, passwordless-focused startups such as Hypr, Magic and Stytch have attracted VC dollars to bolster their respective efforts.īitwarden, for its part, already offers some support for passwordless authentication, such as biometric logins for Bitwarden’s own apps, while it also supports physical two-factor authentication (2FA) security keys such as YubiKey. Indeed, there has been a concerted push toward passwordless authentication across the technology landscape. Now, Bitwarden is looking to capitalize on a burgeoning trend in the online security sphere, one that is looking to consign passwords to the history books - compromised passwords, after all, are responsible for most business security breaches.

Bitwarden’s key selling point, though, is that it’s open source - or, at least, it’s source available, meaning that it promises full transparency into the codebase, while also allowing the community to contribute and help develop new features.
It’s all about helping people to not re-use the same predictable password across all their online services. Similar to other password management services, Bitwarden is designed to make it easier for individuals and enterprises to automatically create hard-to-guess passwords, and store them all in a secure vault.

The company also revealed at the time that it had raised a previously undisclosed Series A round in 2019. The news comes shortly after 1Password and LastPass rival Bitwarden announced its first outside funding since its inception in 2015, securing $100 million from PSG and Battery Ventures. Open source password management platform Bitwarden has made its first known acquisition, snapping up a fledgling Sweden-based startup called v, which specializes in helping developers integrate passwordless authentication technology into their software.
