To get started, run: goldwarden setup polkit. goldwarden setup systemd in order to make sure that the daemon automatically starts on boot, and that the polkit permission required for system authentication is available.

Next, set a pin for your vault: goldwarden vault pin set

And, if you have a custom server, configure the endpoints:

goldwarden config set-api-url https://my.bitwarden.domain/api
goldwarden config set-identity-url https://my.bitwarden.domain/identity
goldwarden config set-notifications-url https://my.bitwarden.domain/notifications

Finally, you can login: goldwarden vault login --email <email>

Unusual Traffic

If you get an error about unusual traffic, you can try loggin in with an API key instead. This is how you get it: https://bitwarden.com/help/personal-api-key/

And then configure it in goldwarden using:

goldwarden config set-client-id <my-client-id>
goldwarden config set-client-secret <my-client-secret>
