Vault Item Sharing

Send Login

When viewing a login, add option that allows it to be sent to another party.
I have had to manually copy paste usr/pwd details so many times to other parties, it seems like many others would have this issue also.

It just sends the credentials via the SEND feature, and you can set the normal expiry etc. if needed.
It saves time copying and pasting the creds into an email.
Added benefit of having the encryption/expiry options of Send

Just to clarify the user is looking for a way to quickly use the SEND encryption to send an item detail without, copying and pasting various fields which is a PITA.

My suggestion to not clutter the interface is to put a CREATE SEND on the top of the edit item menu.

  1. open the item to edit.
  2. click CREATE SEND (icon)
  3. this will open the send item as a text, with the following items prefilled.
    Login Items:
    Name
    Username
    Password
    URI 1
    Notes:

Card Items:
ITEM INFORMATION
Name
Cardholder Name
Number
Expiration
Security Code

  1. End user can then edit info as appropriate.

Thanks for clarifying! That’s perfect

I was about to suggest exactly the same. This combination of the great new Send feature with the existing vault seems like a very obvious win. @tgreer Is this on your radar?

This would be a great feature. ΀he best way to implement it imo, would be by having user and group permissions to be set for each item instead of collection. This is the most important disadvantage of BitWarden for our organization.

I don’t understand why it was not already integrated in Bitwarden app.
It’s a must have feature !

We agree it will be a great addition, but sending items vault > vault requires a great deal more work, and an encryption waltz if you will :slight_smile:

Hey
It would be nice if we could share bitwarden entries using bitwarden send from the entry itself,
So if I have the (insert streaming service here) entry open I can click a button that creates a “Send” with those credentials in, so I don’t have to manually copy-paste the data back and forth between the “Send” item and the password entry.

Couldn’t agree more. We have successfully replaced all our old disorganised methods of WhatsApp/ texts/ dictating over phone with bitwarden send, which is great, but more tedious than necessary. Pre-populating a send with username, password and URL would save lots of time and avoid possibility of mis-pasting (ie pasting the incorrect password from a previous, stale copy-password action)

‘Share’ has been renamed to ‘Move to Organization’

This would be great. The ability to share an item/folder/collection with a single other Bitwarden hosted user. This would be great on a personal level with family/friends, but also I have already run into several options where I wanted to take an item from my “Business” folder in my private vault and share it with another Bitwarden user in our org without removing my ownership and sending it to a collection.

This is a big one that’s blocking us moving. There’s many situations where a secret belongs to a collection but it needs to be shared with +1 or +2 users in the organization as well. Not justified having collection hell to accomodate all variations of this. Need to be able to share to a collection + individual org users. User to user as well.

I’d like to add the option to share the entire vault. The use case is my parents wanting me to have access to all their passwords so I can fix their issues. As of now, I just have the password to their accounts, but it would be more convenient to just use mine, especially on mobile with the app and biometric authentication.

Feature name

Increase the user experience of sending a password to someone else using Sends.

Background

One of the most useful functions of the Send feature is being able to more securely share passwords with someone else over email, text, etc.

The challenge is that right now if we want to send a password to someone using the Send feature there are a lot of steps:

  1. Copy password from vault
  2. Click Send tab
  3. Click new Send
  4. Select “Text” option
  5. Paste in password
  6. Save Send
  7. Click Send options
  8. Click copy Send link
  9. Paste Send into email client

We were really hoping to use Sends for password sharing at our organization, but this process is too long for less technical users.

Feature function

Here’s a suggested alternative

  1. In Vault, click options on an item (or right click on desktop app)
  2. Below “copy password” have option to “send password”
  3. Automatically copy newly created Send with default settings to clipboard
  4. Paste Send into email client

Hi

I think a good feature to add into BW would be the ability to right click or click a tick box in an item that exists in a collection - that would send that item to a BW Send (As Text).

The whole reason I use BW send is to send a Username or Pass to a person, which usually exists already in a Collection, it is annoying having to copy the password or username and have to go back to BW Send for each items and paste it in
 a ‘Send to BW Send’ would be handy or ‘Create BW Send’ then tick the items you want to add to a Send.

Thanks

I want to propose a capability to send from Secure notes. Now, If I want to send my secure note (with or without attachments) first I need to redownload and then pull up SEND and upload to generate SEND link :wink:
So, my proposal is to have an opportunity to SEND from the Secure Note page :wink:

I got in touch via email and Sugianto recommended me to come after this feature here.

I’ll paste the text within the email I’ve sent to the tech support asking for the feature.

Most of my relatives really don’t care about digital security. Not at all. I tried to convince them many times, even wrote an article talking about it (endorsing Bitwarden and 2FA as well, you can see it here: Gerenciadores de Senhas - o que sĂŁo e como podem me salvar de situaçÔes caĂłticas – Telegraph (in Portuguese)), but they don’t really care at all.

I was thinking of an “easy” (yet unsafe) way to share logins/credentials that I keep in my vault for the lay people that is.

I know your goal is to aim to enable security for everyone, but these people are die hard on their choices.

I was thinking of having a built-in feature to share as plain text.

Example:

Go to login > view > click the context menu > share as plain text > open the share picker or copy the content to the clipboard.

That would be more or less in this format:

Login: [login/credential name/label, e.g. “Mail.com - John Doe”]
Username: [login/username, e.g. “[email protected]”]
Password: [password text, e.g. “somethingstr0nggoeshere.”]
Notes: [additional notes with line breaks]

I think that’s more than enough to take care of that kind of job.

What do you say? Is that planned? I know that’s indeed not a good idea to be done, but it would take care of the job to share with “jumpy” people.

That’s it. I hope this can be a good thing for a future update and feature.

Why cant we just click a button and export a record (login/pass) straight to Send?
Send was build to share passwords, why is it not integrated to make it easier?
Why do we have to copy each pass, login etc, manually.
