Bramble has no account to sign up for. You create a vault on one device, protect it with a master password, then add your other devices to it.

Install Bramble wherever you want your passwords. You create a vault once, on the first device. Every other device joins that vault.
Create your vault
- Open Bramble and choose Create your vault. The browser extension opens this in a new tab.
- Stay on Create new vault.
- Enter a Master password, then type it again under Confirm master password.
- Choose Create vault.
Your master password needs at least 8 characters. If Bramble says it’s weak, pick a longer one, or tick Use this password anyway. A long phrase of a few unrelated words is strong and easy to remember.
Save your recovery code
Next, Bramble shows Save your recovery code. You won’t see this code again.
- Choose Copy or Download, or write the code down.
- Keep it somewhere safe and offline, away from your devices.
- Choose I’ve saved it, continue.
Your vault opens, ready for your first item. In the browser extension, close the tab and open Bramble from the toolbar.
Lost the code? Make a new one in Settings → Security on each of your devices. See Ways to unlock your vault.
On your other devices
Don’t create a new vault on each device. Install Bramble, choose Create your vault, then switch to the Join a device tab and pair it with the device that has your vault. See Add a device.
Next steps
- Import your passwords from another password manager.
- Add a device so your vault syncs between your phone, computer and browser.
- Set up Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello or a security key to unlock faster.
- Back up your vault.
