Password manager Bitwarden announced on Monday the introduction of a new feature called Bitwarden Send. It’s a way to securely share sensitive information.
App Store: Bitwarden
Bitwarden Send
Bitwarden Send lets you share multiple types of data to another person, fully encrypted. Such as:
- Passwords
- Financial documents
- Identification documents
- Legal documents
- Client data
- Code
Data is shared end-to-end encrypted using AES-256, and it can be protected with a password for additional security. People can set expiration dates and limit access to reduce data leaks.
The receiver of the data doesn’t have to be a Bitwarden user; just share the link and they can access it via a browser, mobile app, and even the command line. The feature is available with the latest app update.

To me the encryption is wasted when the other party opens the document in an insecure environment such as Chrome, for instance.
