If you still use the same password on multiple sites — or worse, store them in a Word doc — you're an easy target in 2026. A password manager solves this in 5 minutes.
Why not LastPass?
LastPass was the reference, but in 2022 they got hacked and 30 million encrypted vaults leaked. Free tier is now limited to a single device type.
Why Bitwarden?
- Free unlimited (PC + mobile + browser extension)
- Open source (audited code)
- Client-side encryption (Bitwarden CANNOT read your passwords)
- EU hosted or self-hostable
- Independent yearly security audit
- Premium €10/year
How it works
- Create a master password (the only one to remember)
- Bitwarden generates unique strong passwords per site
- Browser extension auto-fills login forms
- Sync across all devices
Family use case in Cluses
For a family of 4 I set up: free Bitwarden per device, Family plan €10/year for shared Wi-Fi/Netflix/Disney+ passwords, 2FA on critical accounts, 1-hour training. Remote €60 or on-site €90.
Classic mistake
Many install Bitwarden, generate strong passwords… then write them in a Word doc on the desktop. No. The Bitwarden vault IS your password file. Only remember the master password.
