📬 How to use Bitwarden to share passwords securely

Sharing passwords must to be both secure and convenient. When sharing is difficult, people take shortcuts. Shortcuts are typically not safe for businesses, who handle client and vendor information, in addition to their own.

A typical business handles the information of their customers and vendors－information that can include physical addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, banking information, and other pieces necessary for those businesses to do transact.

Bitwarden lets us share passwords in two ways.

Use the Send feature for infrequent sharing via email

Putting a password directly in an email means letting that password live indefinitely in your and your recipients' email accounts.

But, email is the most convenient communication tool for infrequent collaboration with freelancers or contractors.

Instead, use email with Bitwarden Send. Here's how you could send a password by email using Send:

1. Create a Send in Bitwarden that includes the password to be shared.
2. Copy the link to that Send and share the link via email.
3. The Send link expires after some time. After the link expires, that password cannot be seen anymore. Or you could just delete the Send from your Bitwarden app at any time.
