Amazon AWS
[AWS Secrets Manager] is really good at managing the secrets for each environment (stage, production, ...), and with a simple command, the users will get all the variables for running the project. Depending on the user role, they could just read and/or edit the variables on the Secrets Manager on AWS. This facilitates the management of the secrets.

This integration enhances the security of the Bitwarden account and allows to store and manage their 2FA credentials for other applications within Bitwarden itself.

  • Bitwarden has great functionality all around, however, I would in the future like to see this product as an SSO/IDM distributor.

Easy to use, just missing a few quality of life features. Nothing to suggest it's not awesome as it is, just bells and whistles to make it more convenient.

Both AWS Secrets Manager & MS Azure Key Vault are pretty similar. They're the default secrets manager on their respective cloud platform.
The choice comes down to where your infra resides on.

Bitwarden
Other solutions felt more clunky or were significantly higher priced. Bitwarden seems to straddle the consumer/prosumer/SMB fence more than adequately by designing their user experience to feel welcoming but also trustworthy and reliable. The other tools seem to assume that users are ok with struggling in their onboarding process.

Bitwarden
  • Gives employer the piece of mind knowing that passwords are safely stored in one place
  • If an employee leaves, you don't have to go searching for passwords, they should all be in one place in Bitwarden.

It also integrates with email alias services for additional security. Using the strong generator tool keeps personal info like anniversaries and pet names out of your passwords, out of the dark web, and out of hackers’ hands.Screenshot of Bitwarden Send, a feature that lets users quickly share encrypted files and text with another individual via a private link. It can also be used to automatically share vault items using collections in a Bitwarden organization.Screenshot of Bitwarden's sync feature, that syncs passwords and other sensitive data (like identities, addresses, and credit cards) across devices, including mobile devices.Screenshot of where Bitwarden can auto-fill login information into websites. Autofill can be used across browsers, mobile apps (Android and iOS), and other places using associated URIs.
