Bitwarden Introduces Email Verification for Non-2FA Users
/ 1 min read
🔑 Bitwarden enhances security with email verification for non-2FA users. Starting in February, the open-source password manager Bitwarden will require users without two-factor authentication (2FA) to verify their identity via email when logging in from unrecognized devices. This new measure aims to protect accounts by prompting users for a verification code sent to their email, effectively acting as a form of 2FA. Users who do not enable any 2FA methods or use self-hosted instances will be subject to this additional security step. Bitwarden advises users to maintain independent access to their email credentials to avoid being locked out and emphasizes the importance of strong master passwords to enhance overall account security.
