#### Implementation of the Bitwarden Server API, written in Rust

Vaultwarden is a Rust-based implementation of the Bitwarden® server API that provides compatibility with upstream Bitwarden® clients, perfect for self-hosted deployments where running the official resource-heavy service might not be ideal.

**Features**:

* Personal Vault
* Send
* Attachments
* Organizations
* Multi Factor Authentication
* Emergency Access
* Admin Backend
* ... and more!

Note: By default, Vaultwarden listens on `127.0.0.1:8000`. If you would like to modify this, edit the respective values via `/var/snap/vaultwarden/current/vaultwarden.conf`, and restart Vaultwarden: `sudo snap restart vaultwarden`

*Vaultwarden is not associated with or endorsed by Bitwarden® Inc.*
