In most companies, credentials get shared over WhatsApp, collected in a spreadsheet and left unchanged for years. bfWarden turns that into central, encrypted management that your people will actually use — operated on German servers, set up and taught by us.
No attacker forces a door when a key is lying around somewhere. And that is exactly what happens when the same password covers six services, when nobody knows what a departing employee had access to, and when your accountant’s login sits in a chat history. This is not a technology problem — it is an organisational one, and it can be solved in a matter of days.
Bought, rolled out, never used. Without a proper introduction and clear rules, credentials are back on a notepad within two weeks.
An open solution on your own server is quick to set up — and then goes unpatched for years. Of all things, the password vault.
Many well-known providers store data outside the EU. For data processing agreements and privacy reviews, that means the same discussion every time.
Every credential in one place, separated by team and role. Strong passwords come from the generator — nobody has to invent or memorise them any more.
Encryption happens on your employees’ own devices. Only unreadable data sits on the server — not even we can get to it.
Access is granted rather than passed on — with access control and the option to revoke it at any time. When someone leaves, it is a single click.
Automatic, centrally managed and checked regularly. Not a calendar reminder that everyone stops honouring at some point.
Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and as an extension in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari. bfWarden is compatible with all Bitwarden apps.
Built on the open Bitwarden/Vaultwarden standard. The code is there to inspect — you do not have to take anyone’s word for it.
If you have to evidence access rights, there is no way around managed password administration — whether for auditors, your insurer or your own data protection officer. Together with blackforestbaits, bfWarden covers both sides: the technology and the human factor.
For teams that want to get going straight away. Small teams from €2.00 per month.
Plus a €49 monthly base fee, but with setup and introductory training included. Small teams from €2.40. The most popular plan.
With a service level agreement and prioritised support. Price on agreement.
Prices as stated by the provider, as of July 2026. Binding quote on request through NormatriX.
A password vault only works once your staff use it day to day instead of working around it. That is why the rollout includes hands-on training — on how to use it, on strong passwords, and on how to spot a phishing attempt. On site or online.
bfWarden comes from blackforestbytes, our development partner in Offenburg. Through NormatriX you get exactly the same solution — only with a named contact who knows your business and sees the rollout through.
Technical specifications, the full list of plans and privacy information are available directly from bfWarden.
Thirty minutes is enough to go through it. Afterwards you will know how many accounts are floating around the company and what a properly organised solution would cost.
