Password Manager Browser Extension

What You’ll Need

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A StrongKeep Vaultwarden account (you should have received your login link from StrongKeep)

  • Access to your Vaultwarden web portal

  • Your email address and master password

Step 1: Install the Extension

For Google Chrome

  1. Go to the official Bitwarden extension page on the Chrome Web Store:
    https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bitwarden-password-manage/nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb?hl=en

  2. Click Add to Chrome → Add extension.

  3. Once installed, the Vaultwarden (Bitwarden) shield icon will appear beside your address bar.

  4. Pin for quick access

For Microsoft Edge

  1. Open the Edge Add-ons page:
    https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/bitwarden-password-manage/jbkfoedolllekgbhcbcoahefnbanhhlh

  2. Click Get → Add extension.

  3. You’ll see the Vaultwarden icon appear next to your Edge toolbar.

  4. Pin for quick access

Step 2: Connect to the StrongKeep Vaultwarden Server

By default, the extension points to Bitwarden’s public cloud — but StrongKeep uses a private, secure Vaultwarden server.

  1. Open the extention on your browser and go to login.

  2. Click the Accessing dropdown at the bottom, which by default is bitwarden.com and select "self-hosted"

  3. Under Server URL, enter the StrongKeep Vaultwarden URL:

    https://vaultwarden.strongkeep.com

  4. Click Save.
    The extension will reload and now point to StrongKeep’s secure server.

Step 3: Log In

  1. Enter your email and master password (same as your Vaultwarden web login).

  2. If you have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled, complete the verification.

You’re now connected to your StrongKeep Vault!

Step 4: Enable Autofill & Quick Access

To make password management effortless:

  1. Right-click the Vaultwarden icon → Extension options.

  2. Under Settings, enable:

    • Auto-fill on page load

    • Keyboard shortcuts (optional: press Ctrl + Shift + L to autofill)

  3. You can pin the extension to your toolbar for quick access.

Tips for Smooth Use

  • Sync often: Click the Vaultwarden icon → “Settings” → Sync now to pull the latest updates.

  • Add items directly from login pages: When you enter a new password, Vaultwarden will offer to save it automatically.

  • Use folders or collections: Keep your logins organised by department or project.

  • Share securely: If you have team sharing enabled, you can share credentials safely with teammates via Collections.

Troubleshooting

  • Extension not working properly?
    Update the extension by removing the Bitwarden extension from your browser, then adding it again using the links in Step 1. After reinstalling, repeat Step 2 to point it back to the StrongKeep server before logging in.
