Bitwarden Enables Windows 11 Sign-Ins With Vault-Stored Passkeys

Bitwarden now supports Windows 11 sign-ins using passkeys stored in its vault, enabling phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication across all plans (including free). Users enable Entra ID FIDO2 sign-in, register a Bitwarden-stored passkey, and log in by scanning a QR code with a mobile device. The passkey is stored in the Bitwarden vault and synced across devices, improving recovery options and reducing exposure by avoiding password transmission.

The Rise of Passkeys: A Password-Free Future

Bitwarden, a popular password manager, is introducing support for passkeys in its browser extensions. Passkeys offer a more secure and convenient alternative to traditional passwords, utilizing device authentication methods such as face recognition or fingerprint scanning. This feature is being rolled out gradually, following similar support from Apple, Google, and other password managers. Passkeys are generated using WebAuthn technology, with one key stored by the website and a private key stored on the user's device. While passkeys are not yet widely supported, more websites are adopting them as a login option. Bitwarden currently supports passkeys in browser extensions but plans to add support in its mobile app in the future.

Beware of Fake Bitwarden Sites Spreading ZenRAT Malware

Fake Bitwarden websites are distributing installers that contain a new password-stealing malware called ZenRAT. The malware targets Windows users and collects browser data, credentials, and information about the infected host. The fake websites imitate the legitimate Bitwarden site and use typosquatting to deceive victims. Researchers at Proofpoint discovered ZenRAT and found that it is designed to be modular, with the potential for expanded capabilities. The malware is delivered through phishing campaigns and redirects users to a cloned page of an article about Bitwarden if they are not using Windows. The Bitwarden password manager has gained popularity, making it an attractive target for cybercriminals.
