Bitwarden

Bitwarden is available two ways: as a frameless web vault in Brave, and as the bw CLI for scripting and terminal use.

bitwarden

Opens vault.bitwarden.com in Brave’s --app mode — no browser tabs, no toolbar. Uses the same Brave profile as regular browsing, so saved passwords and clipboard permissions carry over.

Wayland clipboard support is handled by the brave-browser wrapper: copy from the vault, paste anywhere.

The bw CLI is the official Bitwarden command-line client. It connects to the same vault and works entirely in the terminal.

bw login
bw unlock
bw list items --search github | bw get password -
bw logout

The CLI is useful for scripting credential retrieval, generating passwords, or managing the vault without a GUI.
