How to fix Bitwarden not working
Bitwarden is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach bitwarden.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Sync the vault
In the browser extension, open Settings, then Sync, then select Sync vault now. If a new login or password change is missing, the local vault may be behind the web vault.
Confirm the Bitwarden.com region
On the sign in screen, open the server or region selector and choose Bitwarden.com if your account lives on the US service. Choosing Bitwarden.eu or Self-hosted can make a valid email and master password look wrong.
Reset the browser extension
In Chrome, open Extensions, select Details for the Bitwarden extension, and turn the extension off and on. In Firefox, open Add-ons and themes, choose Extensions, then switch it off and on; after that, sign in again if the vault asks.
Reinstall the app
On Windows, open Settings > Apps > Installed apps > Bitwarden > Uninstall; on macOS, open Applications and move Bitwarden to Trash. Then install the app again from the Microsoft Store, Mac App Store, or your phone's app store, and sign in again.
Common Bitwarden error messages
What each message means and what to try. The wording can differ a little between app versions.
-
Username or password is incorrect. Try again.
- Means
- The sign in attempt did not match the account email and master password that Bitwarden accepted.
- Fix
- Check the email address, keyboard layout, and master password, then try again. If the password still fails, use Bitwarden account recovery options from a device or login method you still have access to.
-
Invalid master password.
- Means
- The app could not open the vault with the master password you entered.
- Fix
- Retype the master password and check caps lock or autofill. If you recently changed it, use the new password on all apps after they sync.
-
Invalid verification code.
- Means
- The two step login code was rejected or had expired before Bitwarden accepted it.
- Fix
- Use a fresh code from your authenticator app or security method. Check that the device clock is set to automatic time if codes keep failing.
While Bitwarden is down: what to use instead
- Unlocked Bitwarden app If you already signed in on a phone or desktop app, open the cached vault and copy needed passwords, but wait to edit items until sync returns.
- Browser password manager Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari can fill passwords they already saved, which helps for accounts you use on that device.
- iCloud Keychain On Apple devices, Keychain can fill saved logins in Safari and apps when the password was stored there before.
- 1Password If your team keeps a separate vault there, use it for shared logins while the main vault is unreachable.
What happens when Bitwarden goes down
Bitwarden is the password manager at bitwarden.com for storing passwords, passkeys, secure notes, and payment cards across the web vault, browser extensions, desktop apps, and mobile apps. Individuals and companies, especially in the US, rely on it for sign-ins, so an outage can interrupt vault access and sync.
Login and sync tend to show trouble first, since the web vault, browser extensions, desktop apps, and mobile apps need the cloud service to pull a fresh encrypted vault. An already unlocked device may still autofill saved items from its local cache, but edits, new items, organization vault changes, and Bitwarden Send links can stall until sync works. New logins can fail. Problems can be partial or regional, so the website may load while an extension cannot sync, or one device may keep working while another asks for the master password again.

Tip: Bitwarden doesn't list a public status page that we know of, so its help centre and the report chart on this page are the best places to check.
How we track Bitwarden
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Bitwarden, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Bitwarden, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Bitwarden doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
