EDT4OL (PAC) General forum for Empowered Digital Teacher for Online Learning

I am confused a little, it sounds like I will be 'login to my site, ‘from Bitwarden’ Does this mean Bitwarden is a ‘Browser’ from which I will be login to any of my sites? If yes, then does that mean my browser will be ‘Bitwarden’? More questions if this is so??

No - you won’t log in to web sites from Bitwarden.

You will log into websites via your preferred browser in the usual way.

However, there are Bitwarden browser extensions you can install for your preffered Browser that will connect to your Bitwarden Vault online and enable you to auto-complete the username and password fields from the Browser when you log into a website. Bitwarden is not logging you in - its just helping you access your passwords conveniently.

Watch the help videos, keep trying and when you achieve your first log in using password retrieval from Bitwarden - it will all make sense.

Good luck!

Here is a quick demo. I have the Bitwarden extension installed for my Firefox Browser.

In this short video, you will see the log in pop-up window showing for the EDT4OL course website. I click on the Bitwarden browser extension icon (which I installed previously), select the website for the stored password in Bitwarden, and you will see how it autocompletes the login form using my stored credentials.

In short,I’m logging in to the website via my normal browser. The Bitwarden browser extension is used to populate the username and password fields.

Hope this helps!

Still, trying to get ‘bitwarden’ where I can access it from my browser? I will try the following actions, select ‘getting the apps’ from the dropdown menu on the left, refer screenshot here

Or do I create a shot cut? appreciate your help

Bob, to access Bitwarden directly from your browser you first need to install the Bitwarden extension for your preferred Browser (e.g Firefox, Chrome etc.):

However, you can access your passwords via the web link to your vault (i.e. the screenshot image you provided). This method will require that you copy your username / password from your vault page and then go to the site where you want to log in (preferably in a different tab or window) an paste this into the relevant field of the log in page you want to access. This copy and paste method will not autofill the password fields from your browsers. To do this - you will first need to install the browser plugin as descried above.

Nope - creating a shortcut will simply link to your vault page. To auto-fill passwords from your browser - you must install the browser plugin.

Hope this helps!

When I tried to open one of my sites using My Bitwarden ‘Vaults’ see here


I somehow ended up What did I do wrong?

@bkabuatioer

I won’t be able to view the link you shared to your Vault item - because that requires secure access via your Bitwarden master password (don’t share your Bitwarden master password with anyone!).

That vault item link should take you to the password record saved in your Vault - (i.e. the site URL, username, and password stored in the system.) It is not used to open the specific website. Bitwarden is used to store your access credentials - it is not used as a direct link to open your stored websites.

The normal workflow process is:

  1. Go to the website you want to access by entering the URL or accessing via a saved bookmark.
  2. Open Bitwarden (Which you can access via weblink, browser extensio (if installed) or a desktop version installed on your computer.)
  3. Search for the website in your vault to retrieve the password credentials. Think of the password manager as the digital equivalent of a piece of paper where you have stored access credentials for different websites. Its not use to open the website you want to access - its a secure place to store passwords so that you don’t need to remember them.

Good luck!

Tell me if what I am doing is Ok, refer to the screenshot

I am able to open my site by extracting my password via Bitwarden as shown. I just pin Bitwarden to my browser as so. Let me know what you think?

Hi @bkabuatioer

That’s one way of doing it.

As far as I can see, it looks like you have pinned the Bitwarden website to your task bar in the Browser. This will open your Bitwarden vault (via the website) so you can copy and paste your passwords across to the site you want to login to.

It would be better to download and install the browser extension for your browser because this will provide you with more functionality and features.

As I mentioned previously - follow these instructions on how to get started with browser extensions.

Good luck!

Exactly so, I have to copy and paste my password to open! I have tried to download and install the browser extension however, I guess I have to keep doing it?? I will follow the instruction again. Thank you for your patience Dr Wayne @mackiwg

Greetings Dr Wayne @mackiwg Please could explain a little more on the following activities Part 1a) and Part 2a) from this tab link. I just submitted my activity on this one however, I am a little confused? Looks like four submissions?

Good morning @bkabuatioer

The course Designer Badge is based on two learning challenges, and for each challenge there are two components:

  • Develop a storyboard challenge (Part 1 for the Designer badge)
    • Submit a link to your blog post in Moodle for this challenge
    • Upload a copy of your storyboard in Moodle
  • Outlining a learning pathway challenge (Part 2 for the Designer badge)
    • Submit a link to your blog post in Moodle for this challenge
    • Upload a copy of your learning pathway outline in Moodle

Hope this clarifies your question.
