Please add a field “Expiry Date” where I can define a date when a password has expired (or will expire). I use this in KeePass to mark passwords that have expired.

These password have a red “X” symbol over the Favicon and are not used when I log in via the hotkey.

Totally agree this feature is needed.

I also opened a GitHub issue back in December and it got some votes from people: Add an expiration date to passwords? · Issue #163 · bitwarden/server · GitHub

I think it is absolutely necessary!

Many services come with expiration dates. Why not have a date as a custom field that then can be questioned as a simple DB that shows all expiration dates across data entries in chronological order?

This would be really handy.
Creation, modification and expiration dates are all very handy.

Why do you need an expiration date? If you use long random passwords there is no reason to change it every so often unless you think its been breached. And if you work for someone that makes you change the password they’ll let you know when it expires the next time you log in. If you’re paranoid you could set up a calendar event on your phone to remind you to change all your passwords, but this is not needed.

This feature allows to store expired passwords, that are not actively used, but the account is still existing

yes, it’s really needed. I would like to get

  • a flag to mark an account as expired
  • an expiration date or range (like keepass has) and let the account expire automatically
  • a function/tool to expire all accounts at once, as we use Bitwarden in a company and have to change all accounts when someone leave. But it’s not possible to change all the accounts on one day, so I want to mark all as expired and change them in the next few days…

Just some thoughts on the design that I would personally find really useful:

  • Per entry in vault, optional field “password expiration date”. Ideally this date can be set either via a calendar OR by entering a number of days.
    • If an entry has a “password expiration date” in the past, the password field should be the color red
  • In Settings->Options the following should be available
    • Boolean option “Notify via email before passwords expire”
    • Boolean option “Notify via app before passwords expire”
    • Integer option “Number of days before passwords expire to send notification”

I think there should be an option to set a reminder after 3 months, 6 months, etc. to change a password for security. BW can then send a reminder to a mobile device, put an exclamation point next to the entry that needs to be changed, etc. Just so that users who have not changed a certain password in a while will be reminded that it’s a good idea to keep them rotating.

Yeah, I guess this have been discussed here before. But for now, if you’re a premium user, you can use the security reports to check all the sensitive data that can be compromised and do it manually. I know LP offered that option with ease, but there are things with higher priority right now.

This feature should not be for passwords specifically but for each object. If I create a passport object I want it to remind me about the expiry.

Add date as a custom field type. Including a date picker for mobile devices and the web interface.

Expanding on this idea is the expiration date, that would automatically generate an expiration date note (showing all upcoming expiration dates) and (optional) expiration date alerts.

15

In my opinion an expiration date would be part of an item template discussed elsewhere. But of course the field type would be the same.

16

How to know if this is going to happen, or not, and if yes, when ??

Bumping this.

Just started looking at switching from KeePass 2 to Bitwarden, and this is kind of surprising that this feature hasn’t already been implemented. It’s a bit disappointing given how polished Bitwarden appears.

I’m currently auditing my online accounts and I have passwords I set years ago, or accounts with duplicate/similar passwords, and these need to be updated. I’m having to do this still in KeePass since I have the ability to mark these accounts as “expired” so I can remember what still needs to be changed.

On another note, many companies and company services require password changes at set intervals (30-60-90 days) and being able to set a reminder that a password will expire soon and should be changed is a pretty helpful feature.

This is a pretty basic and standard feature for a password manager. I also see that this has been requested a couple times on Passport expiration date and Expiration dates . Given that this has been an outstanding request since Mar 2018 (over a year and a half) with 73 votes (currently) across the 3 split requests, it would be nice to see a Bitwarden dev reply to this thread with some input or something. Will this be implemented and can we get a time frame?

Any updates or road map on when we can have this or if it is happening or not ?? I would appreciate if dev team can just response once to this request, and give us an idea on what is the plan for this request.

Agreed, 1password provides expiration dates for passports and driver’s licenses out of the box, and then provides a useful report for “things about to expire.”

Hi team, would it be possible to add a timelife for the password created, with an alert when password arrive at expiration.
