Just joined the forum, to chime in, and say our company also needs this feature!!
We have a lot of accounts, that we no longer use, but don’t want to delete, for compliance reasons.
The old accounts - clutter search a lot!

@monsoon8715 Welcome to the forum!
If the items in question are in the organization vault, you could just unassign them from all collections. The items will then no longer viewable (nor appear in searches), except from the Admin Console.
+1. This post is nearly six years old. Respectfully, it’s time @bw-admin team to put this on the roadmap and meaningfully work towards it.

How? It does not allow me to unassign them.
The best way is to ensure that the items only belong to a single collection, and then delete that collection.
I too would appreciate this feature.
Please note, I just signed up for this community forum to vote for this feature request. However, I apparently can’t vote because my account is brand new.

@bradley Welcome to the forum! Just spend a little time reading through some of the forum threads. From what I seen, you just need to be active in the forum for a total of around 30 min before your account status is upgraded from “new user” to “basic user”, which allows you to vote.
I just signed up to the forum specifically looking for any information about this functionality. While I’m happy to know there’s workarounds – it would be nicer if there was functionality like this built in the future since a lot of people are requesting it here and it’s been open for years. Since all of the pieces are there – why not make it official so people don’t have to root around for a way to make it happen?

I would love to see Bitwarden add an Archive feature to hide credentials that are no longer in use, as well as a way to track the last time a password was used. This would help identify outdated credentials that can be archived. Other password managers I’ve used offer these features, which make cleaning up credentials much easier while also preventing accidental deletion. While Bitwarden has many great features, it lacks tools for efficiently managing and organizing stored credentials. My vault has become cluttered, and without these features, it’s too time-consuming to identify what I no longer need.

what a shame that this feature has not been implemented

Great idea. My suggestion: be able to deactivate an entry without having to move it to another folder. The entry then has a grey background and will no longer work for signing in.
You can make a simple UI change where items starting with _ are hidden by default unless the search query starts with _ or has a box saying show hidden items. This feature is needed.

Adding my vote for this. I would love to easily relocate entries so they don’t show in search and aren’t cluttering up my main folders but I could access them if needed.
Please provide archive functionality for legacy vault entries so we can remove them from sight without permanently deleting them.

Sounds exciting, but don’t want to be disappointed.
There are clearly some signs… saw them already about two weeks ago on GitHub… 
E.g. here:

looks amazing, but it’s not in the latest update.
Maybe they have to line up all the clients (mac, windows, browser, etc) before release?

Almost six years, now 433 votes, and still we wait for one of BW’s most annoying pain points to be addressed. I’ve got numerous gmail accounts for myself, parents who have died but whose email can still rarely be an issue, organizations that I support or used to… All show up whenever I need to log in to Google, with the one I need often buried in the middle somewhere. Similarly with other popular social media sites. Some kind of road map or visibility into what the issues are would sure be nice. Workarounds that involve multiple actions and whose rare undo steps are not readily apparent are no solution.

@jwd630 Welcome to the forum!
As a work-around for your use-case, I would suggest that you edit the items in question, click the 
icon next to each stored URL, and select “Never” from the Match Detection dropdown selector (then Save the item).
If you ever need to autofill any of the old accounts that you’ve hidden using the above method, search for the item, then click the kebab menu icon (three vertical dots) and select “Autofill”.
