Each Bitwarden account has a public "fingerprint phrase" associated with it. Your account's fingerprint phrase is permanent and composed of five random english words that appear in a specific order, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
alligator-transfer-laziness-macaroni-blue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What is my fingerprint phrase used for?
|
|
|
|
Your fingerprint phrase is an important security feature that assists in uniquely and securely identifying a Bitwarden user account when important encryption-related operations are performed (such as sharing).
|
|
|
|
Some Bitwarden procedures (e.g. adding a new user to an Organization, enabling Biometric Unlock for Browser Extensions) may ask you to verify that the fingerprint phrase matches your own or another user's.
|
|
|
|
Validating fingerprint phrases ensures that end-to-end encryption is securely initiated and that the Bitwarden server you are communicating with (and your connection) has not been maliciously tampered with.
|
|
|
|
## Where can I find my fingerprint phrase?
|
|
|
|
You can find your account's fingerprint phrase from any Bitwarden client application:
|
|
|
|
- **Web Vault**: Settings → My Account
|
|
- **Desktop Apps**: Account → Fingerprint Phrase
|
|
- **Browser Extensions**: Settings → Account → Fingerprint Phrase
|
|
- **Mobile Apps**: Settings → Account → Fingerprint Phrase
|
|
- **CLI**: Using the command `bw get fingerprint me`
