What is Login with SSO?

Login with SSO separates user authentication from Vault decryption by leveraging your existing Identity Provider (IdP) to authenticate users into their Bitwarden Vault and using Master Passwords for decryption of Vault data.

Login with SSO currently supports SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect authentication for customers on the current Enterprise Plan.

Users of Bitwarden authenticate into their vaults using the Enterprise Single Sign-On button located on the login screen of any Bitwarden client application. For more information, see Using Login with SSO.

Administrators can configure Login with SSO from the Organization Manage screen.

Requiring SSO for Users

Using the Single Sign-On Authentication policy, Enterprise Organizations can require non-Owner/non-Admin users to log in to Bitwarden with Enterprise Single Sign-On. For more information about setting up this policy, see Policies.

Enterprise Free Trial

Login with SSO is available for all customers on the current Enterprise plan (for more information, see About Bitwarden Plans.

If you're an experienced Bitwarden user, refer to the this article for help. If you're self-hosting Bitwarden, you will need to generate a new license file after starting your 7 Day Free Trial. We recommend using a separate Bitwarden instance for testing Login with SSO. For more information, see Licensing Paid Features.
