Effectively managing the items in your Vault is key to making sure that you secure and have seamless access to your information, and can safely share information with friends, family, teams, and colleagues. There are 4 types of items you can store in your Vault; Logins, Cards, Identities, and Secure Notes:

{% capture logins %} ### Logins

Login items are most often used to store username and password combinations, and support TOTP seeds for Premium users. Whatever plan you're on, we recommend giving every Login a URI for easy auto-fill:

{% image /manage-items/login-item.png Login Vault Item %}

{% endcapture %} {{ logins | markdownify }}

{% capture cards %} ### Cards

Card items can be used to store credit or debit card information:

{% image /manage-items/card-item.png Card Vault Item %}

{% endcapture %} {{ cards | markdownify }}

{% capture identities %} ### Identities

Identities can be used to store billing info, mailing info, or anything else you might need to have access to when filling out online forms:

{% image /manage-items/identity-item.png Identity Vault Item %}

{% endcapture %} {{ identities | markdownify }}

{% capture notes %} ### Secure Notes

Secure Notes can be used to store encrypted freeform text for anything you want protected:

{% image /manage-items/note-item.png Secure Note Vault Item %}

{% endcapture %} {{ notes | markdownify }}

{% callout success %} You can import items into your Vault from a variety of password management solutions. For more information, see [Import Data to your Vault]({% link _articles/importing/import-data.md %}). {% endcallout %}

Manage Vault Items

You can add, edit, and delete Vault items from any Bitwarden client application:

{% capture wv %} ### Web Vault

{% image /manage-items/manage-webvault.png Manage an Item %}

{% endcapture %} {{ wv | markdownify }}

{% capture be_sync %} ### Browser Extensions

{% image /manage-items/manage-be.png Manage an Item %}

{% endcapture %} {{ be_sync | markdownify }}

{% capture mob_sync%} ### Mobile Apps

{% image /manage-items/manage-mobile-1.png Add or Open an Item %}

{% image /manage-items/manage-mobile-2.png Manage an Item %}

{% endcapture %} {{ mob_sync | markdownify }}

{% capture desk_sync%} ### Desktop Apps

{% image /manage-items/manage-desktop.png Manage an Item %}

{% endcapture %} {{ desk_sync | markdownify }}

{% capture cli_sync%} ### CLI

For more information, refer to our [CLI documentation]({% link _articles/miscellaneous/cli.md %}).

{% endcapture %} {{ cli_sync | markdownify }}

Folders and Favorites

Items in your Vault can be organized into Folders, or marked as Favorites. For more information, see [Folders]({% link _articles/features/folders.md %}) and [Favorites]({% link _articles/features/favorites.md %}).

Items in the Trash

Deleted items are sent to the Trash, where they remain for 30 days after deletion. Once 30 days have lapsed, the item will be permanently deleted and not recoverable.

In the Trash, you can Restore an item to your Vault or Permanently Delete it prior to the 30-day waiting period:

{% image /manage-items/item-trash-restore-delete.png The Trash %}

Protect Individual Items

For any given Vault item, you can activate the Master password re-prompt option from the Add/Edit screen to require verification of your Master Password to access or auto-fill sensitive Vault items:

{% callout info %} Master password re-prompt will temporarily not be available for mobile apps, as we are releasing mobile updates in the near future. Please be aware of the following:

  • The Android/iOS app will not re-prompt for your master password when viewing, editing, or auto-filling a reprompt-enabled Vault item.
  • Editing a reprompt-enabled Vault item on Android/iOS will disable your re-prompt settings for that item. {% endcallout %}

{% callout warning %} Master password re-prompt is not an encryption mechanism. This feature is an interface-only guardrail that a sophisticated user may find ways to work around. We recommend never leaving your Vault unlocked when unattended or on a shared workstation. {% endcallout %}

{% image /manage-items/reprompt.gif Master Password Reprompt %}

Share Vault Items

If you're a member of an Organization, you can share Vault items with other members of your Organization. Learn more about Organizations, Collections, and Sharing.

Clone Vault Items

You can clone any Vault item that you have Ownership of, if you wish to create a duplicate of the item.

  • In the Web Vault{:target="_blank"}, select Clone from the hover-over {% icon fa-cog %} Gear dropdown.
  • On Mobile Applications, open the item and tap Clone in the {% icon fa-ellipsis-v %} Menu.
  • On Desktop Applications and Browser Extensions, open the item and select the {% icon fa-copy %} Clone Item option.

{% callout info %} To clone an item within an Organization, you must clone it from the Organization Vault view, not the Personal Vault view. {% endcallout %}
