-===== Five Steps =====
+===== Three Ways to Use Bitwarden =====
+You will probably want to **use all three methods** to make your life easier.
+  * **Web Interface**
+    * Easiest for managing your data
+  * **Mobile App**
+    * Always on you
+  * **Web Browser Plugins**
+    * Mobile or desktop
+==== Web Interface ====
+https://pw.virtualarchitects.com
+This is a full featured interface to the system and is good for bulk management tasks.
+You probably won't use the web page as much after you implement the browser plugins and mobile apps, but it's very good for performing organizational tasks.
+==== Browser Plugins ====
+If you sit in front of a computer, this is what you will probably use most.
+You can also use the browser plugin on mobile devices.
-  - **Receive invitation** (e-mail) and click **Join**
+Once you have your Bitwarden account filled out, you will probably want to **disable the native browser (Firefox, Chrome) password management functions and just use Bitwarden**.
-  - Click **Create Account** (web)
-  - Fill out **account details** (web) and click **Submit**
-  - **Verify** your e-mail address (e-mail)
-  - **Log in** (web)
