I would love to see an option in Bitwarden that allows users to protect individual secure notes with a separate password, instead of always relying on the master password.
For highly sensitive information, it would be extremely helpful to add an additional layer of protection. A dedicated password, PIN, or password‑derived key for specific notes would give users more control over how their most confidential data is secured.
Why this would be useful
-
Adds an extra security layer for particularly sensitive notes
-
Useful when the vault is already unlocked but certain items should remain protected
-
Similar features exist in other tools (e.g., “locked notes”)
-
Increases flexibility and user control without complicating the overall vault structure
Desired behavior
-
When creating or editing a secure note, users can optionally assign a separate password
-
Opening that note requires entering this password
-
Optional: allow unlocking via biometrics where supported
