The community-driven password manager
A community-operated public Vaultwarden service. Connect compatible password-manager apps on your browser, desktop and phone, then sync your vault when those devices are online.
Unofficial and independent. Registration and service availability may change.
Same account, separate apps. Clients sync through the server when connected. Offline behavior and cached data depend on the app and device.
For offline cached access, see Keyguard and offline use. Viewing already-synced items works offline; offline editing depends on the Keyguard build and licence.
The service is operated on an HA k3s cluster with a 3-2-1 backup strategy. These are operator-provided details, not an independent audit or uptime guarantee.
Please read before joining
This is a community project, not an official service.
1 Unofficial & independent
This is not an official Vaultwarden instance. It is not maintained, endorsed, or operated by the Vaultwarden repository owners.
2 No uptime guarantee
There is no service-level agreement or uptime guarantee. Outages, maintenance and infrastructure failures can occur without advance notice. If the operators decide to discontinue the service, they will give users advance notice and time to export their vaults.
3 Back up your vault
Keep your own regular encrypted exports. The operators cannot recover a forgotten master password. Do not rely on this public service as your only copy.
4 Admin limits
This is a third-party hosted service. The normal Vaultwarden admin interface cannot decrypt vault items, read plaintext passwords or reset a master password. It can manage accounts, remove two-step-login configuration and view basic account metadata. Infrastructure operators still control the server, deployment, encrypted files and backups, so you are trusting the service to run the expected software and protect stored data.
What does the service operator have access to?
Understand the difference between encrypted vault contents and the hosted service around them.
The service stores and processes
- Account details and service metadata
- Encrypted vault records and attachment data
- Operational information and technical logs
- Server files, database and backups
Client-side encryption
Compatible Bitwarden clients encrypt vault contents on your device before syncing. In normal operation, the server stores encrypted vault data rather than readable passwords, notes or card contents. The service does not receive your master password as readable text and cannot use the normal admin panel to decrypt your vault.
Vaultwarden admin-panel permissions
The admin tools on this instance are limited to account administration: deleting an account, removing its two-step login configuration, and viewing basic account metadata such as the email address, creation date and account status. They do not provide a way to read or decrypt vault contents or reset a master password.
Important distinction
These limits describe the Vaultwarden admin interface, not the underlying infrastructure. The operators maintain the k3s cluster, database, backups and deployment. As with any hosted password manager, you are trusting the operator to run the intended software and protect the systems holding encrypted data and account metadata.
Encryption protects vault contents during normal operation; it does not remove all trust in the hosted service or make outages and data loss impossible. Keep your own encrypted export and protect your master password.
Your vault, everywhere
Use compatible Bitwarden apps on your browser, desktop and phone. Configure each app to use this server URL; support varies by client and version.
Why use this instance?
A compatible server with an open-source foundation.
Client-side vault encryption
Compatible clients encrypt vault data before syncing. The hosting operator still controls the server, metadata, stored ciphertext and infrastructure.
Open-source foundation
Built on the open-source Vaultwarden project, compatible with every official Bitwarden client on every platform.
Operator-reported infrastructure
The operators describe the service as running on an HA k3s cluster with a 3-2-1 backup approach. These are operational claims, not an independent audit or a promise of continuous access.
Free forever
The service is free and will remain free. There is no paid tier, no upsell and no subscription charge.
Account deletion requests
You can request account deletion by emailing admin@obco.pro from your account email address. No reason is required and we do not ask why. Accounts that appear unused or contain no vault data may also be removed during routine service maintenance; no fixed cleanup schedule is published. Backup copies may remain until they expire through the normal backup rotation.
Community support
Contact the volunteer operators for service and connection issues. There is no published response-time guarantee, and they cannot recover a forgotten master password.
What Vaultwarden supports
Vaultwarden implements much of the Bitwarden client API. Support is not identical to the official Bitwarden server, and individual features can depend on the client version and this instance's configuration.
Personal vault
Store logins, secure notes, cards and identity items in your personal vault.
Multi-factor authentication
The upstream project lists several two-step methods. Actual availability depends on client support and server configuration.
Attachments
Vaultwarden implements attachment support. Per-user or per-organization storage limits may be configured by the operator.
Bitwarden Send
Send is implemented upstream, but the server can disable it or limit storage. File Sends may have additional client or account restrictions.
Organizations and collections
The API includes organization and collection features. Availability and member permissions are controlled by server configuration.
Emergency access
The upstream API implements emergency access, but it may be disabled by configuration and must be set up before an emergency.
We do not promise that every Bitwarden Premium feature is available free on this instance. See the Vaultwarden feature list and the support guide; contact the operators about this instance's limits.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for getting started and keeping your vault safe.
Is vaultwarden.net an official Bitwarden or Vaultwarden service?
No. This is an independently operated community instance. It is not operated or endorsed by Bitwarden Inc. or the Vaultwarden maintainers.
What server address do I enter in the Bitwarden app?
Choose Self-hosted and enter https://vault.vaultwarden.net as the server URL. Browser and mobile apps generally label the selector Logging in on; the desktop app uses Accessing. Follow the setup guide.
Will my vault stay in sync across devices?
Use the same account and server URL in each client. Clients sync through the server when they are online; some changes may require a manual sync. An outage prevents server sync, and offline behavior depends on what each app has cached locally.
Can the operators recover my master password?
No. Operators cannot retrieve or reset a forgotten master password. Check other devices where you may still be signed in and able to unlock with a previously configured PIN or biometric method, and any recovery option you arranged in advance. Read the account recovery guidance.
Can I use my vault when the server is offline?
Some clients can display previously synced local data. Keyguard is one option for cached offline viewing after an initial sync; offline editing requires a compatible Keyguard build and, on some builds such as Google Play Android, a Premium licence. Read the Keyguard offline guide.
Is the service free, and what happens if it is discontinued?
The service is free and has no paid tier or upsells. If the operators decide to discontinue the service, they will give users advance notice and time to export their vaults. This is separate from day-to-day availability: outages, maintenance and infrastructure failures can still occur, and there is no uptime guarantee. Keep independent encrypted backups.
Can I delete my account, and can unused accounts be removed?
Yes. Email admin@obco.pro from the email address associated with your account. No reason is required and we do not ask why. We may also remove accounts that appear unused or contain no vault data as part of routine service maintenance. We do not publish a fixed cleanup schedule. Copies in existing backups may remain until those backups expire through the normal rotation.
Where can I find help with importing, exporting or attachments?
The Support Centre covers imports, encrypted backups, attachments, Send, sharing, 2FA and connection problems. Availability of server features may depend on the instance configuration.
Server status
Open the externally hosted status dashboard. Monitoring is a useful signal, not an uptime guarantee.
