It makes sense for the user to be able to specify which settings should be synced, and which should be overridden by local settings.
When you say “header”, are you referring to the moderator notice shown below?
If so, it contains only two links to other posts/comments, and neither one mentions the “corporate sector”.
… on my Android mobile app (2025.11.1), only a numeric PIN is possible… actually, I think the details in the Help Sites are wrong then (can’t say it for the iOS app, though).
@Nail1684, that’s what happens when the developers transfer their documentation from a git repository to somewhere internal that doesn’t accept PRs. 
I agree, no). This is such a Russian vibe - if there are “clients”, then it is a corporation. I don’t know how it is with you, British.
and yet, I hit it right. Separate settings make sense only in terms of authorization (they are indicated at the top of the header, there are 2 pcs). If will force developers to track Light / Dark Mode on an area of 300 * 500 px, then this is nonsense. And refers to the mobile phone screen, not to BW.
The whole purpose of BW’s existence is to FASTLY find the password and substitute it, not to engage in 3D rendering. FAST is 3-5 seconds. But don’t wait 3-5 years for implementation.
In the context of the linked comment — and in general, when it comes to the Bitwarden documentation and forum posts, the term “client” refers to the Client–Server model, in which the Bitwarden server communicates with one or more Bitwarden client apps (e.g., browser extensions, Desktop apps, mobile apps, etc.).
At least until July 2, 2025 (and perhaps later — the Internet Archive has no data from July 3–Dec. 10), the Help Center documentation was consistent with your experience:
“Enter the the desired PIN code in the input box. Your PIN can be any combination of numbers (0-9).”
This is a minor thing, but I re-install my OS once or twice a year on my desktop and I’ll change jobs or get a new work laptop once every year or so.
Please store my no passkey notification preference on a backend service so that when I login to Bitwarden extension, it’s setup out of the box, rather than asking for passkeys every new install.
I don’t have any intention of using passkeys (I prefer physical security keys + one time passwords).
@Nebulizer2427 I moved your post into the existing feature request on the same topic.
AS A user
I WANT TO store/sync my vault appearance settings
SO THAT I do not have to change them every time I install the browser extension
I like to distrohop. As such I reinstall OSs (and browsers) alot. Every time I install a new instance of Bitwarden (Mainly via the Firefox Add-on) I have to go into Settings >> Appearance to change the way my vault looks for me. I would love it if these preferences were somehow saved with my vault such that each time I log in in a new Bitwarden instance, I do not have to change these
@Appear7555 Welcome to the forum!
I merged your request with this existing one on the same topic.
If you want to take the discussion in a different direction, then I agree, let’s discuss our sizes.
On a nearby forum, users ask for synchronization and storage of Bookmarks and History on the server. In six months. And they don’t understand that the size of these files can easily reach 50 MB per user. This can be easily calculated, but of course, no one does this and no one wants to. But there is always enough discussion.
I said “small” because BW settings are created using the JSON type - key: value. Their size is minimal. And it cannot create a load on the server.
This topic is already 7 years old. No movement.
This is a complete post, and once again expresses the desire of all its participants.
We’re talking about UI, not secret information. It’s even simpler and doesn’t require transmission protection.
There is a Visual bookmarks - Microsoft Edge Addons
Its author was able to realize this idea. The one here is from 2019.
Its extension stores all settings. And not even on your own server. In Edge it is stored on the MS server. In Chrome, it is stored on a Google server. On someone else’s server, and everything works.
About 50 settings are saved during a clean installation on a clean OS, including custom CSS.
Top:
As users expressed here and in other feature requests, some settings shouldn’t be forcibly synced, best way to implement a “sync” would be an option where the clients (the different BW apps) could override every “centrally and synced setting” so that it would still be possible to have different settings in the BW apps, if needed.
There were also some suggestions, to have separate sets of settings for the different BW apps, like e.g. in this post.
This topic is 7 years old, even the simplest option “All settings” is not implemented.
There is no need to create any mechanisms for selecting settings options without having the simplest option.
It’s a little fun for developers to read sentences like this: the user must manually select settings for a computer, a touchscreen laptop, a phone.
It’s funny because even in simple CSS, everything has already been done before us:
The @media and new @support directives allow to write COMMON code for all types of devices.
The device should not override the settings. The code itself decides on which device it will work.
The W3C has already taken care of this. And this simple markup language can itself understand what device the user has in front of his eyes.
You created a problem, highlighted it in red, scared users that everything is complicated and implementation is still very far away.
It is not the type of device that matters to me. I want a short timeout on the laptop I keep with me, a medium timeout on the one that never leaves the office and a long timeout on the one that never leaves my house.
Then submit a PR, @serega_da. If it’s so trivial, that is.
This has already been done by others.
Then I ask you, why didn’t you do this 7 years ago? If you allow yourself to teach me?
If everything is trivial, then what are you doing in this thread ?
I would like that too.
Also, that the settings for the generator are synchronized.
That would be great for the family too. If I, as the organizer, can easily set the default for everyone.
@serega_da, because it’s not trivial. Have you forgotten what you’re advocating for?
I would like to suggest setting sync and saved on the account. It is annoying that I need to re adjust the settings of the extension on every browser. Also the settings for the password generator when I set it to something it does not sync or save future use if I were to re-install the extension on a different browser. Or it does not sync with the mobile app and I would I have to do it manually on each devive.
@shakar.bajalan Welcome to the forum!
I moved your post into the existing feature request on the same topic (to sync BW settings).
There is a separate request for syncing the generator settings:
This is much needed especially for enterprises that have terminal services that use the web browser extensions.
I connect to hundreds of terminal servers that web deploy the Bitwarden browser extension to and it’s a pain when the settings are consistent from server to server.
