You can add items to your Vault from the Bitwarden [Web Vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com){:target="\_blank"} or any client application. Look for a {% icon fa-plus %} **Add** icon to add an item to your Vault. There are 4 types of items you can add to your Vault.

||||
All item types can be given:
|
||||
- A **Name** that makes them easily identifiable to you inside your Vault.
|
||||
- **Notes** related to the item in a freeform text input.
|
||||
- **Custom Fields** for inputs like security questions or PINs (for more information, see [Custom Fields]({% link _articles/features/custom-fields.md %})).
