Conceptual Information

Now that you have configured your SafeKey Vault and assigned the relevant licenses, the last step is to have your workstation device use the service.

The client installation on your workstation will depend on your preferences and the applications you have.

Bitwarden works as an "extension" to your local browser, and rather than pulling your passwords from the local browser cache (the default behaviour), it attempts to pull them from a central vault.

The second being the Organisational vault. This is where passwords are shared from a corporate perspective. Within the organisational vault, security can be further broken down based on your organisation's requirements. A user can be a member of multiple organisations if required.  

Web browser extensions exist for the following browsers:
