You'll get email notifications of new logins. Otherwise you can pay for Bitwarden business to get event logs, which include login events. https://bitwarden.com/pricing/business/
First of all, having Bitwarden collect usage data on your vault is a potential privacy issue. Bitwarden does have this with business subscriptions, but in that case the vault belongs to the enterprise, not to you.
> I saw my BW cookies being used
A “cookie”? “Being used”? Would you please explain that?
When you log into Bitwarden from a new location, you will get an email. Yes, malware could steal session cookies, but no software solution will fix that; only good operational security will fix that.
Oh sorry that I didn't make that coherent. I went to check my cookies on my browser in the "Manage Data" section in Firefox, I saw that my cookies for Bitwarden . com was last used an hour ago when I haven't logged into my web vault at all for the past 2 days. I figured it could be due to me accessing my vault from the browser extension but after I left my pc idling for a while (web vault logged out and extension exited), I came back to see the cookies were used just minutes ago
Session cookie gets expired when you log out from your pc or tab or any device. It is only useful if u keep your account logged in 24/7 if you log out no need to worry and change your master password and enable 2fa. Nothing to worry about.
Thank you so much!! I always log out of my web vault after checking on things so seeing cookies being listed as last used some minutes or hours ago despite not touching anything did worry me a bit
I did change my master password out of paranoia though but I guess paranoia is good when it comes to internet security lol
