Hi, recently I started using authelia, and can’t understand how I need to use it, and how do I share it with others

Before I had bitwarden, kept all my passwords there, and used the passwords to login to every service. Also in every service I had 2FA and/or FIDO.

But now I have authelia, and I’m trying to understand where should be the main password, and what services do I bypass, and etc

And the most important, how do I explain people how to use it, do I create them authelia credentials and send, or how?

Thank you

    Authelia is an authentification provider. So you can have a single login for all your services. It can provide autorisation and authentification with a single unified login.

    Bitwarden is much “simpler”, in it’s just a passwordmanager. As soon as you start sharing passwords, like you do in bitwarden, you lose the authentification part, even worse, you lose control over the shared login. Anyone with autorisation can “steal” the login as in unauthorized copying/distributing the password or even changing the password alltogether.

    With an sso like authelia you can mitigate such attack vectors.
