Adding, editing, or deleting Vault items from any Bitwarden client application will automatically push changes to your Bitwarden server, whether Cloud-hosted or self-hosted.
|
|
|
|
In order to pull those changes down to another Bitwarden client application, your Vault will need to Sync.
|
|
|
|
## Automatic Sync
|
|
|
|
Your personal [Web Vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com){:target="\_blank"} will always remain in-sync. Organization Vaults will automatically sync across users and client applications every 30 minutes.
|
|
|
|
Bitwarden client applications (Desktop Applications, Browser Extensions, Mobile Apps, and CLI) will sync automatically on login, and with regularity when unlocked. You can also [Manually Sync](#manual-sync) your Vault to pull changes to a client application immediately.
|
|
|
|
{% callout success %}
|
|
When you install Bitwarden on a new device, simply log in to your existing account to automatically pull down your most up-to-date Vault data.
|
|
{% endcallout %}
|
|
|
|
## Manual Sync
|
|
|
|
To manually sync your Vault from a Bitwarden client application:
|
|
|
|
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
|
|
<li class="nav-item" id="tab" role="presentation">
|
|
<a class="nav-link active" id="betab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-target="#be" role="tab" aria-controls="be" aria-selected="true">Browser Extensions</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="nav-item" id="tab" role="presentation">
|
|
<a class="nav-link" id="mobtab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-target="#mob" role="tab" aria-controls="mob" aria-selected="false">Mobile</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="nav-item" id="tab" role="presentation">
|
|
<a class="nav-link" id="desktab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-target="#desk" role="tab" aria-controls="desk" aria-selected="false">Desktop</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="nav-item" id="tab" role="presentation">
|
|
<a class="nav-link" id="clitab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-target="#cli" role="tab" aria-controls="cli" aria-selected="false">CLI</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<div class="tab-content" id="clientsContent">
|
|
<div class="tab-pane show active" id="be" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="betab">
|
|
{% capture be_sync %}
|
|
### Sync Browser Extensions
|
|
|
|
Select the {% icon fa-cogs %} **Settings** tab, select the **Sync** option and select the **Sync Vault Now** button.
|
|
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
{{ be_sync | markdownify }}
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="tab-pane" id="mob" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="mobtab">
|
|
{% capture mob_sync%}
|
|
### Sync Mobile Apps
|
|
|
|
Open the {% icon fa-cogs %} **Settings** tab, tap the **Sync** option and tap **Sync Vault Now**.
|
|
|
|
Toggle the **Enable sync on refresh** option to allow your Vault to be synced using a pulldown gesture on the {% icon fa-lock %} **My Vault** tab.
|
|
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
{{ mob_sync | markdownify }}
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="tab-pane" id="desk" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="desktab">
|
|
{% capture desk_sync%}
|
|
### Sync Desktop Apps
|
|
|
|
Select **File** → **Sync Vault** from the menu bar.
|
|
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
{{ desk_sync | markdownify }}
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="tab-pane" id="cli" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="clitab">
|
|
{% capture cli_sync%}
|
|
### Sync the CLI
|
|
|
|
Use the `sync` command to manually sync your Vault:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bw sync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information, refer to our [CLI documentation]({% link _articles/miscellaneous/cli.md %}).
|
|
{% endcapture %}
|
|
{{ cli_sync | markdownify }}
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If Vault Sync is not working properly, investigate the following:
|
|
|
|
#### Mismatched Timestamp
|
|
|
|
Sync failure may occur if your device's time is not correct. Bitwarden uses TLS/SSL, which will fail to connect a client application to the server if timestamps are mismatched.
|
|
|
|
#### VPN or Ad Blocker Interference
|
|
|
|
In some cases, VPN or Ad Blocker browser extensions may interfere with the connection between client application and server. This issue is typically observed with Bitwarden Browser Extensions.
