In February 2025, Bitwarden will implement a new security measure requiring additional verification for users who do not use two-step login when accessing from a new device. Users will need to enter a one-time verification code sent to their account email after entering their master password. To avoid this extra step, users can set up two-step login via an authenticator app, hardware key, or a different email. This initiative aims to enhance security by adding an additional layer of verification.
