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:

550% growth in daily passkey creation: The average daily passkeys created in December 2024 increased by 550% compared to December 2023, showcasing substantial year-over-year growth.
31% of all passkeys created in Q4 2024: Nearly 1.1 million passkeys were created in the final quarter alone, reflecting rapid adoption.
100% growth in registered services on PasskeyIndex.io: The number of services listed on the index doubled from 58 at the start of 2024 to 115 by year's end, highlighting industry-wide adoption.

Advancing security with new products and innovations

In 2024, Bitwarden delivered powerful tools and features that advanced user security, streamlined workflows, and supported enterprise and developer environments. Highlights include:

Standalone Bitwarden Authenticator app: Enables users to secure accounts with time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) for two-factor authentication.
Inline autofill updates: Supports autofill for credit cards and identities, as well as one-click password creation, enhancing convenience and security for online interactions.
Enterprise integrations: Including Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk Cloud for advanced security information and event management (SIEM) capabilities, as well as compatibility with Rippling, Rapid7, and Vanta for seamless credential management.
SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management): Empowers Teams plans with advanced provisioning tools to streamline user onboarding and offboarding.
Developer-centric integrations: Kubernetes and Ansible Playbooks support within Bitwarden Secrets Manager to securely manage machine secrets and enhance secure server deployments.
Native iOS app deployment: Built to enhance performance, responsiveness, and integration with platform-specific features to deliver a more seamless user experience.
Passwordless.dev enhancements: Features like event logs, self-hosting capabilities, and Magic Links API simplify passwordless authentication for users and developers.

Showcasing leadership in open source security

In 2024, Bitwarden reinforced its position as a trusted leader in open source security by strengthening its presence in key industries, onboarding enterprise customers across financial services, aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors. The company also expanded its reach among managed service providers (MSP), welcoming Cybernet Evolution into a customer base that includes ATB Technologies, Machado, and GreenLoop IT, who rely on Bitwarden to deliver scalable and trusted identity security solutions for clients across industries. This progress builds on a notable foundation of existing customers, including NASA, Bitdefender, and North American Energy Systems (NAES), which leverage Bitwarden to secure their organizations. All three have also participated as speakers at the annual Open Source Security Summit hosted by Bitwarden, which brings together business leaders, industry visionaries, and technology users to share expertise and reinforce the collaborative nature of the open source security community.

A highlight of the fifth annual Open Source Security Summit was a fireside chat featuring Tomas Maldanado, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at the National Football League (NFL), and Jeff Greene, executive assistant director of the cybersecurity division at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), who explored key strategies for strengthening cybersecurity resilience through workplace security awareness, education, and government resources.
