Bitwarden Secrets Manager

Bitwarden Secrets Manager enables developers, DevOps, and cybersecurity teams to centrally store, manage, and deploy secrets at scale. Use Secrets Manager to:

• Manage and deploy secrets across the development lifecycle. Develop a secure and systematic approach to creating and automating secrets for all your resources and applications.

• Boost productivity, collaborate securely. Safely share, retrieve, and assign secrets across your development teams - no more hard-coding secrets or sharing them through email, git, or messaging systems.

• Level up your protection. For full enterprise security coverage, combine the capabilities of secrets management with password management.

Key concepts

The core paradigm used by Secrets Manager is the relationship between:

• Secrets: Sensitive key-value pairs, like API keys, that your organization needs securely stored and should never be exposed in plain code or transmitted over unencrypted channels.

• Projects: Collections of secrets logically grouped together for management access by your DevOps and cybersecurity teams.

• Service accounts: Non-human machine users, like applications or deployment pipelines, that require programmatic access to a discreet set of secrets.

• Access tokens: A set of keys that facilitates service account access to, and the ability to decrypt, secrets stored in your vault.

Secrets Manager is designed to secure and manage your highly sensitive credentials within privileged developer environments. Multi-directional layers of access and levels of permission will ensure that only authenticated machines and persons with the correct permissions will be able to see or manipulate secrets stored within your vault.
