Vault Item Sharing

Any update on this? This is a highly desired feature by the community, has been open since 2018, and has a high number of votes.

According to Bitwarden’s current development roadmap, this feature is “under development” (but not yet “in development”), which suggests that release is not imminent.

It’s at least not yet a Github draft PR. For a big feature like this, it would hang around a while as a PR undergoing several revisions and QA rounds.

Though, another tangential background change - cipher key encryption - is getting rather close. Right now, all items are encrypted with the same user-wide key, which means sharing an item would require re-encrypting the item (including attachments). With cipher-key encryption, this is not required since each vault entry now has its own key. So it makes implementing vault item sharing easier.

Hi together,
This functionality would be very helpful as today I always need to copy and paste the passwords from an PW entry to a send entry. It would be way confi to have a button “send pw entry”.

Dear Bitwarden, this request has been open since 2018. This is unacceptable and should be a basic MVP feature. The fact that it’s sitting as “Under Research” still is ridiculous. We are paying our hard-earned money to use your product and you’re spending your time on enterprise clients and ignoring the people who made you great. You need to reevaluate your priorities.

Same here, I can’t understand how this feature can be missing if the purpose is to use it with collaboration. For now each user have to create one collection dedicated to each single person with who he want to share passwords :dizzy_face: It has no sense at all, this is more than a limitation in the adoption of vaultwarden.
It seems that it was planned in the 2023’s roadmap, I hope we will see it soon :crossed_fingers:

@schmurtzm Welcome to the Bitwarden community forum!

Vaultwarden is not a Bitwarden product, and Bitwarden does not develop any features for Vaultwarden. Your best bet is to submit your request to the Vaultwarden community:

Good luck!

Is this still not a thing? I am going through testing the feasibility of moving from 1Password to BW and this might be a showstopper for me. I use this all the time in 1Password for sharing a login with family members with a 1-hour expiration or “single view” functionality on it.

Hi @cobbers83 and welcome to the Bitwarden community!
There is Bitwarden Send! About Send | Bitwarden Help Center
Text Sends are available in the basic free version, with attachments as a premium feature.

Yeah, unfortunately that’s not what I need/want. I want a “Send” link for an existing password entry. I don’t want to copy/paste text into a Send link. I want to share a specific entry for a period of time, like I can do in 1Password. I use it so much.

I find most things about sharing in Bitwarden to be unecessarily confusing, but this one about sharing vs transfer bit me this week when I lost a login.

I believed I was deleting the share from the organisation, only to find a few days later it was also gone from my personal vault.

I don’t know why we can’t just ‘share’ a login with someone else without turning it into a complicated process?

I love Bitwarden, but the sharing process is a mess.

Sharing needs to be greatly simplified between individual accounts without needing to mess around with organisations and collections.

It could be useful to have the Send feature embedded into the View Item UI somehow to allow Items to be attached to a Send.

For example, if I want to share a username and password with someone, but want to do it using a Send, I can open that Item and choose to forward that data in a Send as opposed to copy/pasting it into a newly created Send.

Well, we’re now more than halfway through 2024, and still waiting for this new functionality. Where is it?

This continues to be a pain point for my company.

Hi @ThreeStrikesTrigger Appreciate the follow up. There is still work planned but the timetable is not set at this point. Using Bitwarden Send would be the best option for now.

Is the new release Browser v2024.7.1 - “Enable individual vault item encryption keys” the frist step for this feature? @Quexten what d y think?

Yes, cipher key encryption is a crucial step towards developing item sharing, with it being enabled now, progress is definitely being made towards item sharing. The actual feature development is still remaining though.

2024 still no update on the one time password thing.

I just saw the update on another alternative,

they have the option to share the password as link with expiry date.

So, non bitwarden users can get the pass, 2FA codes by visiting that link.

I think its a basic need, as not everyone wants to move to Bitwarden.

Still waiting for Vault Item Sharing, but now it looks like it is not even on the roadmap anymore?
