Bitwarden 2024.6.0

Bitwarden is a cross-platform and open-source password management service that stores personal data in an encrypted digital vault. It is basically free to use and for a small annual fee you can access various extras, such as being able to store totp codes, logging in with a YubiKey and storage capacity for attachments. Bitwarden is available online, as a desktop client, as a mobile app and as a plug-in for various web browsers. New in this version is the ability to set additional verification for the use of passkeys, the browser extension's settings screen has been given a makeover and it now also works completely in a private window within Firefox.
