Software Update: Bitwarden 2022.05.0

Bitwarden is a cross-platform and open source password management service that stores personal data in an encrypted digital vault. It is basically free to use and for a small amount per year there is access to various extras, such as being able to log in with a hardware key for added security and attachment storage capacity.
