The Bitwarden team is pleased to release a set of features and updates continuing our mission of making password management easy and accessible for individuals and businesses:

  • Privacy & Security Options for Send: Use a new Send Privacy option to hide your email from recipients (see here for details). To prevent abuse, File Sends will now require a verified email address. Additionally, Enterprise Organizations can implement a new policy to set the availability of the Hide Email option (see here for details).

  • FIDO Updates & Expanded Support: Our FIDO implementation has been upgraded from FIDO U2F to FIDO2 WebAuthn, but existing FIDO U2F keys will retain their integrity. FIDO support has been expanded to more Browser Extensions and the Windows Desktop App (see here for details).

  • Custom Fields for Keys: Custom Field values have been upgraded to support up to 5000 characters, allowing storage of keys like RSA 4096-bit SSH keys (see here for details).

  • File Size Increases: You can now create File Attachments or File Sends that are up to 500 MB each. Due to device restrictions, the old 100 MB limit is still in place for Mobile Apps.

    warning

    As a result of the Attachment upgrade, Attachments uploaded on the newest clients cannot be opened on older client versions. If you find you're unable to access a recently-created Attachment, upgrade your client to the newest version. (Hint: The Cloud Web Vault is always on the newest version.) Frozen or legacy client versions, including the Safari 13 (or earlier) macOS Desktop App & App Extension, will not support accessing these attachments.

  • Disable Browser Extension Counter: Disable the Browser Extension badge counter using a new toggle in the SettingsOptions menu (see here for details).

  • Biometrics for Safari: The Safari Web Extension now includes support for Unlock with Biometrics for Safari 14+ (see here for details).

  • Search Internationalization: Vaults can now be searched against 1 character, improving the experience for languages with 1-character words like Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

  • Sorted Weak Passwords Report: The Weak Passwords Report is now sorted by the severity of the password's weakness (see here for details)

tip

Since implementing Soft Delete back in 2020, we've been patient to take out the Trash. Starting 5/15/2021, we'll activate the nightly job that will permanently delete items that have been in your trash for 30 days or more.

Prior to 5/15/2021, we recommend digging through your Trash for anything you might want to Restore!

2021-01-19 Post-Release Update

note

Biometric Unlock for Browser Extensions is available for only Chromium-based browsers (e.g. Chrome, Edge) with v1.48.0 of the Browser Extension, provided you have the latest version (2021-01-19) of the Desktop App.

When your Browser Extension updates to this version, you may be asked to accept a new permission for Bitwarden to Communicate with cooperating native applications. This permission is safe, but optional, and will enable the Browser Extension to communicate with the Bitwarden Desktop App, which is required to enable Biometric Unlock (see here for details). Declining this permission will allow you to use v1.48.0 without Biometric Unlock functionality.

Biometric Unlock is currently not available for:

  • Firefox Browser Extensions below version 87.

  • Microsoft App Store Desktop Apps (a side-loaded Windows Desktop App, available at bitwarden.com/download/ will work fine).

  • Side-loaded MacOS Desktop Apps (an App Store Desktop app will work fine).

The Bitwarden team is investigating these and will provide updates as things progress.

2021-01-19
