Enhance your organization’s security and simplify user access with Bitwarden Login with SSO. This feature integrates identity-based single sign-on (SSO) with Bitwarden’s zero-knowledge encrypted password manager, supporting SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect. Ideal for enterprises, it enables seamless authentication through existing identity providers while extending protection to all apps—even those without native SSO support.

Since 2016, Lou Hill—a security engineer and founder of Cloudbunker—has trusted Bitwarden for secure password management. What began as a personal solution quickly scaled to power his IT consulting firm and its clients. From internal operations to managed service offerings, Bitwarden helps Cloudbunker enforce strong security, streamline access, and eliminate poor password practices. Now preparing to onboard 200 more users, Hill credits Bitwarden as a future-proof solution for secure, scalable growth.
