Keyguard holds several accounts at once and shows their items in one vault. An account is a Bitwarden account on any server, or a KeePass database.

The merged vault

The vault list shows the items of every account together, and Search covers all of them. Filters narrow the list to one account, folder or item type. Bulk actions work across accounts.

The account screen

Settings lists your accounts, and selecting one opens its screen. The account screen shows only that account’s items, folders and settings.

Account name and color

Each account has a name and a color, set with Change name and Change color on the account screen. The color marks the account in the account list and in the vault’s account filter.

Hiding an account

The Hide items switch on the account screen removes the account’s items from the main screens of the app. The account stays signed in, keeps syncing, and stays in the account list. Its own screen still lists its items.

Hiding suits accounts you rarely open, such as an archive or a shared family vault.

Copying items between accounts

The Copy to… item action copies items into another account. The destination is an account, plus a folder, and on Bitwarden an organization and its collections.

The copy is a new, independent item: the original stays in its account, and editing one doesn’t change the other. Attachments aren’t copied.
