Hello @bifflebat - welcome! And sorry to hear that you are struggling with personal vs. organizational credentials stored in Bitwarden.
I think what may help is to recognize that Bitwarden does store your personal credentials in a different vault than an organization’s credentials. However, the Bitwarden apps/clients will display the COMBINED credentials from your vault and your organization(s). You can tell if an organizational item is displayed because it will have a little vault (cube) icon beside it:
So when you Move an item to an organization, it really is moving between vaults. You can test this by moving an item to an org, then exporting your Personal Vault, and the item will no longer be there. But you still have access to it through the organization (at least, until you leave the organization), so it will appear in your Bitwarden display.
Essentially, in the Bitwarden apps/clients:
- Personal Vault = items stored in your own vault and not shared
- Organizational Vault = items owned by the organization that can be viewed and modified by individuals given the privileges to do so
- My Vault (as seen in the Bitwarden apps) = a view of your Personal Vault and Organizational Vault(s) that you have the privilege to view.
I hope that this explanation helps to reduce the confusion, at least a little bit.
