Frequently Asked Questions

PWTray is a desktop app that opens with a global shortcut you can customize, searches your Bitwarden vault, and copies username, password, or 2FA code in any app.

No. PWTray is not a vault. It reads from your existing Bitwarden account and does not store your credentials.
