On your Android or iOS mobile device, install the Bitwarden app from the app store.

You must change the Server URL before trying to log in!

On the first run of the new app:

1. Tap the dropdown (down arrow) next to 'bitwarden.com'
   • Older apps: tap the gear icon (Settings)
2. Enter the Server URL to the VA Password Manager web service and save
   • https://pw.virtualarchitects.com
3. Login
   • Enter the e-mail address used to register your account
   • Enter the password you chose

Here are a couple of optional settings changes you might want to make:

Settings → Other → Allow Sync on Refresh

This setting enables the ability to swipe down on the Bitwarden vault screen to sync the server to your mobile.

Settings → Account Security → Unlock with Biometrics

This setting is a balance between security and convenience. If enabled, it is clearly more convenient and, just as clearly, less secure.

Settings → Session 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 → 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.
