# Bitwarden

> Bitwarden is a free/freemium open-source password management service that stores sensitive information such as website credentials in an encrypted vault.

## Creating a Bitwarden connection[​](#creating-a-bitwarden-connection "Direct link to Creating a Bitwarden connection")

To create the connection you need:

* A Client ID and Client Secret from personal API Key
* A master password

### Obtaining the credentials[​](#obtaining-the-credentials "Direct link to Obtaining the credentials")

Complete the following steps to get your Personal API Key:

1. In the [Web Vault](https://bitwarden.com/help/getting-started-webvault/), select the profile icon > **Account Settings** from the dropdown menu.

3. Select **View API Key** and enter your Master Password. Once correctly entered, you will be provided the following:

* `client_id: "user.clientId"` (This value is unique to your account and does not change.)
* `client_secret: "clientSecret"` (This value is unique and can be rotated.)
* `scope: "api"` (This value will always be "api".)
* `grant_type: "client_credentials"` (This value will always be "client\_credentials".)

Copy and save your `client_id` and `client_secret`.
