-====== VA Password Manager for Android (Bitwarden) ====== 
- 
-===== Install Bitwarden App ===== 
- 
-On your Android mobile device, install the Bitwarden app from the Google Play Store. 
- 
-===== First Run ===== 
- 
-:!: You **must change the server URL** before trying to log in! 
- 
-On the first run of the new app: 
- 
-  - Tap the gear icon (Settings) 
-  - Enter the server URL to the VA Password Manager web service and save the configuration change 
-    - ''https://pw.virtualarchitects.com'' 
-  - Login 
-    - Enter the e-mail address used to register your account 
-    - Enter the password you chose 
- 
-===== Optional ===== 
- 
-Here are a couple of **optional settings changes you might want to make**: 
- 
-**Settings -> Sync -> ''Enable Sync on Refresh''** 
- 
-This setting enables the ability to swipe down on the Bitwarden vault screen to sync the server to your mobile. 
- 
-**Settings -> Biometrics -> Enable if desired** 
- 
-This setting is a balance between security and convenience.  If enabled, it is clearly more convenient and, just as clearly, **less secure**. 
- 
-**Settings -> Vault Timeout -> Configure as desired** 
- 
-This setting is also a balance between security and convenience.  Shorter timeouts are clearly more secure while longer timeouts are **less secure**. 
- 
-**Settings -> Auto-Fill Service -> Enable if desired** 
- 
-This setting is yet another balance between security and convenience.  Enable to use the Android Autofill Framework to assist with logging in to other mobile device apps.
