If you're new to Bitwarden, it's likely that the web browser you use has been saving and auto-filling your passwords. Most web browsers enable this by default, but experts generally agree that [built-in password managers are more vulnerable](https://www.wired.com/2016/08/browser-password-manager-probably-isnt-enough/){:target="\_blank"} than dedicated solutions like Bitwarden.
|
|
|
|
For that reason, and because an active built-in password manager can interfere with your Bitwarden experience, we recommend disabling your web browser's built-in password manager.
|
|
|
|
Learn how to disable the built-in password manager for major browsers:
|
|
|
|
{% callout success %}
|
|
Lots of modern browsers, including Edge, Opera, and Brave, use a Google Chrome framework called "Chromium". If you're using one of those browsers, use the **Chrome/Chromium** instructions.
|
|
{% endcallout %}
|
|
|
|
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
|
|
<li class="nav-item" id="tab" role="presentation">

|
<div class="tab-pane show active" id="chrome" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="chrometab">
|
|
{% capture chrome %}
|
|
### Chrome/Chromium
|
|
|
|
In Chrome or any Chromium-based browser (e.g. Edge, Opera, Brave), navigate to the **Passwords** page by entering `chrome://settings/passwords` in the address bar, substituting `chrome` for your browser name (e.g. `brave://settings/passwords`).
|
|
|
|
On this page, toggle off both the **Offer to save passwords** option and the **Auto Sign-in** option:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/chrome-disable-autofill.png Chrome Password Options %}
|
|
|
|
This page will also list any **Saved Passwords** that are being stored by the browser:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/chrome-delete-passwords.png Chrome Saved Passwords %}
|
|
|
|
If you haven't already saved these passwords in Bitwarden, [export them]({{site.baseurl}}/article/import-from-chrome/#export-from-chrome) to prepare for future import to Bitwarden. Once exported, you should delete these passwords from the browser's storage.
|
|
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
{{ chrome | markdownify }}
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="tab-pane" id="firefox" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="firefoxtab">
|
|
{% capture firefox %}
|
|
### Firefox
|
|
|
|
In Firefox, navigate to **Preferences** → **Privacy & Security** and scroll down to the **Logins and Passwords** section. In this section, uncheck all the pre-checked options:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/firefox-disable.png Firefox Password Options %}
|
|
|
|
You should also find out which Logins Firefox has already saved by selecting the **Saved Logins...** button:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/firefox-delete.png Firefox Saved Logins %}
|
|
|
|
If you haven't already saved these passwords in Bitwarden, [export them]({{site.baseurl}}/article/import-from-firefox) for future import to Bitwarden. Once exported, you should {% icon fa-trash %} **Remove** these passwords from Firefox.
|
|
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
{{ firefox | markdownify }}
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="tab-pane" id="safari" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="safaritab">
|
|
{% capture safari %}
|
|
### Safari
|
|
|
|
In Safari, open **Preferences** from the menu bar and navigate to the **AutoFill** tab. On this tab, uncheck all the pre-checked options:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/safari-disable.png Safari Password Options %}
|
|
|
|
You should also find out which Passwords Safari has already saved by navigating to the **Passwords** tab:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/safari-delete.png Safari Saved Passwords %}
|
|
|
|
If you haven't already saved these passwords in Bitwarden, create Login items in Bitwarden for these passwords. Once all saved passwords are in Bitwarden, **Remove** these passwords from Safari.
|
|
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
{{ safari | markdownify }}
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="tab-pane" id="vivaldi" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="vivalditab">
|
|
{% capture vivaldi %}
|
|
### Vivaldi
|
|
|
|
In Vivaldi, open the {% icon fa-cog %} **Vivaldi Settings** window and select {% icon fa-eye %} **Privacy** from the left-hand navigation. Scroll down to the Passwords section and uncheck the **Save Webpage Passwords** option:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/vivaldi-disable.png Vivaldi Password Options %}
|
|
|
|
You should also find out which passwords Vivaldi has already saved by selecting the **Show Saved Passwords** button:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/vivaldi-delete.png Vivaldi Saved Passwords %}
|
|
|
|
If you haven't already saved these passwords in Bitwarden, create Login items in Bitwarden for these passwords. Once all saved passwords are in Bitwarden, remove these passwords from Vivaldi by right-clicking on each and selecting **Delete Password**.
|
|
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
{{ vivaldi | markdownify }}
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="tab-pane" id="tor" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="tortab">
|
|
{% capture tor %}
|
|
### Tor
|
|
|
|
Despite sharing roots with Firefox, Tor is a unique in that it doesn't save your Logins by default. If you haven't manually configured Tor to save and autofill logins, you're already all set.
|
|
|
|
If you did, navigate to the **Passwords** page by entering `about:preferences#privacy` in the address bar, and scroll down to the Logins and Passwords section. Toggle off all the options that you had checked:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/tor-disable.png Tor Password Option %}
|
|
|
|
You should also find out which Logins Tor has already saved by selecting the **Saved Logins...** button:
|
|
|
|
{% image features/tor-delete.png Tor Saved Passwords %}
|
|
|
|
If you haven't already saved these passwords in Bitwarden, create Login items in Bitwarden for these passwords. Once all saved passwords are in Bitwarden, {% icon fa-trash %} **Remove** these passwords from Tor.
|
|
|
|
{% endcapture %}
