Vaultwarden is a password manager compatible with the Bitwarden apps and browser extensions.

Settings

Setting	Meaning
Hostname	The app's address
Allow open registration	Lets anyone who knows the address create an account. Off by default.
Require email verification on signups	New accounts must confirm their email address before signing in. On by default.

Your account is created for you, for the email address of your Freepod account:

After the app starts, you receive an invitation email from vaultwarden@freepod.eu.
Open the link in the email. It is valid for 5 days.
Choose a master password of at least 12 characters, and select Create account.

The master password cannot be recovered. If it is lost, the passwords stored in the vault are lost with it.

Invite other people from the web vault. If the invitation does not arrive, check your spam folder or contact support@freepod.eu.

Use the Bitwarden apps and browser extensions. When signing in, choose a self-hosted server and enter https://<hostname> as the server URL.

SFTP shows Vaultwarden's data folder, read-only. Vault contents are encrypted; use Bitwarden's export feature for a usable copy of your passwords.

Vaultwarden sends email, such as invitations and verification messages, from vaultwarden@freepod.eu. See Email.
