Anyone else Bitwarden account being attacked


My Bitwarden is being attacked. I get emails from Bitwarden about someone trying to access my account. Emails look legit.

Anyone else experiencing this today?

This happened to me too (from a NordVPN IP). I presume someone is spamming Bitwarden with login credentials they found in some stolen database. It’s possible that Bitwarden had a database breach but that’s very unlikely.

Nope. Someone may just be targeting you. May be worthwhile to change your master password.

I don't use that service. Do you have two-factor authentication? If not, you should really consider using it. The 2fa is a major security upgrade for any account.

Never got this.

Depending on your threat model, I suggest using a unique email address to register your password manager account. Harden that email account and set up email forwards if it's separate or just give the password manager a unique name for your catch-all email address (I believe iCloud offers something similar to this as well).

Yes I got the same email alert. Someone with a Bangladesh IP address was attempting to gain access.

Is this within bitwarden server or on your self hosting server ?

I reset my password from the app not the web service. I also do not have my username in bitwarden only the passwords.
