SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bitwarden, the trusted leader in password, secrets, and passkey management, today announced significant growth and product innovation in 2024. The company achieved milestones including surpassing 10 million users and expanding its reach to over 180 countries and 50+ languages. Bitwarden now supports over 50,000 business customers worldwide, including many of the world’s largest companies. These achievements build on a series of product enhancements and rapid passkey adoption, reinforcing the Bitwarden commitment to addressing the evolving security needs of individuals and organizations everywhere.
Accelerating the passwordless movement
The adoption of passwordless authentication continues to drive a significant shift in identity security, with passkeys delivering a secure and user-friendly alternative to traditional passwords. Advancements in open standards like FIDO2 and WebAuthn have supported this growth, enabling streamlined logins and mitigating risks from phishing and password reuse. Today, over 15 billion online platforms are passkey-enabled, double last year’s figures. Bitwarden has helped accelerate this industry shift through collaborations with the FIDO Alliance to develop passkey portability specs, and with Microsoft to integrate passkeys into Windows 11.
The company has also enhanced passkey capabilities designed for both individuals and organizations. These include creating, storing, and managing passkeys within user vaults, enabling passkey-based two-factor authentication (2FA), integrating passkeys with SSO solutions, enabling advanced storage and sharing options for teams and enterprises, introducing mobile passkey support, and delivering streamlined autofill for passkeys. Notable adoption milestones in 2024 include:
