Bitwarden’s PIN lock is pretty safe because someone entering the incorrect PIN 5 times will be logged out automatically. For all other internet surfing I use different profiles so that Bitwarden isn’t nearly as exposed if at all. I have a separate FF profile where I keep Bitwarden to be used with “login only” sites I visit. In my case I am on a Linux laptop being used in my home primarily. Others will differ and they have valid reasons for doing so. I do use “locked” over logged out the majority of the time. You won’t get the same answer from everyone reading through this thread. Thank in advance for your input and advice.
My question also extends to the mobile app, and whether it is safe to remain logged in for a prolonged period of time whilst ensuring that the app is locked whenever i’m not using it. I am also in the habit of locking my laptop whenever i step away from it. Let me just add that I am very security conscious when it comes to my vault and i always used to log in to LastPass only when i needed a password, and then immediately logged out again. My question really just is whether it is safe to have the vault signed in for a prolonged period of time and whether there might be any other security concerns around doing so that i’m not aware of.
In my mind this is a good thing, as aside from the convenience of unlocking the vault with a pin instead of my very long master password, i think it is also safer as it reduces the number of times that one has to enter the master password, which feels safer to me.
So the way i understand things, this Lock option allows you to lock your vault when you step away from your laptop, without having to completely log out. I’ve just migrated from LastPass and notice that Bitwarden has a handy “Lock” option, which LastPass doesn’t have (or if it did i was not aware of it). I’m new to Bitwarden and to this community, so please forgive if this question has already been dealt with.
