Bitwarden: Increase Password Iterations
It is highly recommended to increase the default password iterations inside Bitwarden to help keep your account secure as possible.
For more information on why these changes are needed you can visit this website.
To update your settings follow the steps below:
- Go to Bitwarden.com and log into your account.
- In the top right hand corner click on your profile photo and choose Account Settings.
- On the left hand menu chose Security.
- In the middle of the page there will be tabs across the top, choose Keys.
- In the Master Password box enter your password and then in the KDF iterations box enter 350000 and then hit the Save KDF button at the bottom.
Once you save the new KDF settings you should be logged out automatically on the desktop. Now log back into the desktop website before you do anything else.
Once you have logged back into the website go to each instance (phone app, browser extension, etc) you have of Bitwarden and log back in to apply the changes.
