The SilverWulf team password manager. This guide walks you through getting set up and signing in with single sign-on (SSO) — step by step. Any trouble, ping Lance.
Vaultwarden is where we store passwords securely. You sign in through Authentik, our single sign-on system — the same login you'll use across company tools. One account, one login, everything in one place.
Lance creates your Authentik account using your work email and adds you to the "Vault Users" group (that group grants access to the vault SSO app). You'll receive either an enrollment invite or a temporary password.
Authentik is the "front door" — it proves who you are before letting you into the vault.
Go to auth.silverwulf.com, log in with the credentials you were given, set a strong password, and enroll a second factor (authenticator app) if prompted.
Go to vault.silverwulf.com and create your Vaultwarden account using the same work email as your Authentik account. Self-signup is disabled — use the invitation email from SilverWulf Vault (Lance sends it).
Your master password unlocks and decrypts your vault. Keep it safe — not even Lance can recover it for you (that's by design).
On the Vaultwarden login page, click "Enterprise single sign-on." Enter the company SSO identifier if asked, then you'll be sent to Authentik to log in. After that, you land back in your vault — signed in.
Add the Bitwarden extension to your browser and the app on your phone. When it asks for a server, choose self-hosted and enter vault.silverwulf.com. Then log in the same way.
Yes. SSO proves who you are; your master password unlocks the actual vault contents. You may be asked for it after signing in.
You can still log in to Vaultwarden directly with your email and master password. Both methods stay available. Note: the Authentik login page only works from the office network or Tailscale VPN — when you're remote without Tailscale, skip the SSO button and use email + master password.
It can't be recovered — that's by design, for security. Contact Lance to discuss account recovery options.
