## Bitwarden on Android
|
|
|
|
### Explore your Vault
|
|
|
|
When you log in to Bitwarden on your Android device, you'll land on the {% icon fa-lock %} **My Vault** tab. From this tab, you can browse all items in your Bitwarden Vault.
|
|
|
|
When you **Favorite** an item, it'll appear at the top of your Vault for easy access. Items are also sorted into **Types** (*Login*, *Card*, *Identity*, or *Secure Note*) and **Folders**. If you're a member of an Organization, **Collections** will also appear here.
|
|
|
|
### Get Organized with Favorites and Folders
|
|
|
|
Organizing your Vault into **Favorites** and **Folders** makes navigating your Vault a breeze.
|
|
|
|
**To add a Folder:**

|
|
2. Select the **Folders** option.
|
|
3. Select the {% icon fa-plus %} **Add** icon.
|
|
4. Give your new folder a name and select **Save**.
|
|
|
|
**To add a Vault item to a Folder or your Favorites:**
|
|
|
|
1. Tap the item you want to edit.
|
|
2. Tap the {% icon fa-pencil %} Pencil icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
|
|
3. Tap **Folder** to select a folder for this item, or toggle the **Favorite** switch to add it to your Favorites.
|
|
3. Tap **Save** in the top-right corner of your screen.
|
|
|
|
For more information, see [Folders]({{site.baseurl}}/article/folders/) and [Favorites]({{site.baseurl}}/article/favorites/).
|
|
|
|
### Create New Logins
|
|
|
|
You can create new Logins, Cards, Identities, and Secure Notes directly from any Android device.
|
|
|
|

|
|
2. Choose which **Type** of item to create (for example, *Login*).
|
|
3. Enter all the information for the item (for example, *Username* and *Password*).
|
|
4. For Logins, enter the website the login is used for in the **URI** field (for example, `www.amazon.com`).
|
|
5. Tap **Folder** or toggle the **Favorite** switch to sort the item in your Vault.
|
|
6. When you're finished, tap **Save** in the top-right corner of your screen.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Send an item to the **Trash** by opening it, tapping the menu ( {% icon fa-ellipsis-v %} ), and tapping **Delete**. Items in the Trash will remain there for 30 days before being permanently deleted.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Once Enabled, you'll be able to open your Bitwarden app or Auto-fill logins using just your biometric method of choice.
|
|
|
|
