Longtime user of Bitwarden
Was, but not now, part of non profit-
Lots of websites, logins,passwords, etc
I want to move, BUT KEEP, all these-
I don’t want to see them everyday,but would like
Access to them if new board calls and asks for something-
Any way to do that ?
Thanks !

Hello @BigMike7 - welcome to the community forums!

There is no archive feature in Bitwarden to do this yet, but here is a workaround:

Archive old accounts

Here is a workaround until this feature is implemented - create a free organization in Bitwarden and name it Archive. Go to your web vault online, and bulk move your old logins/passwords into the Archive organization. Then use the vault filter feature (top-left corner of the BW extension/app) to only show your personal vault items, hiding the Archive organization. If you ever need the archived items again, just change the filter to Archive instead.

Any idea when this feature will be implemented? With an individual premium plan and two users, I cannot create another Organization for an archive, so this workaround won’t work for me. Jerry.

Hoping to re-open this feature request :). There have been many workarounds mentioned over the years and I’ve used quite a few, but it would be awesome to have a way to archive accounts/notes/cards/etc and not have them display along with the active items or within the search results. I’ve seen this request and/or similar functionality questioned across many platforms and pretty much the same response(s) every time I’ve checked.
Ex:

• Not my response.. just one that seemed to address similar frustration.

I hear you.. this goes against everything and why would you even…??.. I get it.. but how many times have you thought you wouldn’t need something, just to delete it.. and then boom… you all of a sudden need it? Whether that be “I threw the card away and I can’t remember or have access to view the old card information”, “hmm maybe I should archive this since it contains info that might be helpful in a last ditch effort of account recovery”, “don’t really need this anymore, kind of cluttering my search/view, it should be finnnnnne”, etc…

Bitwarden is awesome and I just wanted to submit this for re-consideration, so no salt please

Archive old accounts

There are a lot of old accounts that I own that I don’t plan on every using again. However, I want to keep them in my database in the off-chance I’ll need to access it at a random time. The problem is, it tends to clutter my search results and account lists. At this point I have hundreds of accounts in my vault, and the ability to archive old accounts would be very useful. Basically not deleting the accounts, but moving them out of the way so they aren’t accessed as easily as my regular, active…
