"Require 2-step / 2FA login" option also for "master password logins" (owner/admins)

Hello,

I wish there was a checkbox on the “Require two-step login” policy to only apply to “Master Password” logins. I’m currently using Entra SSO/SCIM with conditional access policies, one of which requires MFA. I don’t see the point in forcing my users to MFA into bitwarden after MFAing into Entra simply to protect the Owner/Admin accounts which are still capable of logging in with a master password even after enabling the “Require Single Sign-on Authentication” policy.

The objective for me is to force users to use SSO so that my IDP is still the single point of control and only require MFA for Bitwarden if the login method is “login with master password”. Since the “Require Single Sign-on Authentication” policy doesn’t apply to admins/owners if their username/master-password were to be compromised, the whole vault could be vulnerable because it becomes an “honor system” for MFA enrollment vs an enforcement

This feels like a fairly simple and substantial missed opportunity. Adding the checkbox to the policy allows people the flexibility of continuing to require their staff login/MFA to the IDP as well as then MFA again as a tertiary authentication method for Bitwarden if they’d like… but that it’s no longer a requirement to do so.

Hi,

I think I have a similar request/Issue for our default Bitwarden Account for our Company.

At the beginning we registered an initial Bitwarden Account with an E-Mail Adress from our Infrastructure Team. This is the User we use as Owner of the Bitwarden Organisation. After that we anabled SCIM between our Azure AD and Bitwarden to synchronise the Users we want to onboard to bitwarden and configured SSO in combination with our Conditional Access Policies within our AAD and MFA for the Users.

Now I realised that we can login with the initial User / owner of the Organisation without using MFA. Even though MFA is registered within the initial created user account. The enabled and configured MFA is not recognized at login and only the Master Password is needed.

How can we secure this account? Is there any best practice for that?

Best regards
