Important
30% recurring is solid for security software. Lifetime model means long-term value per customer. Password managers are mission-critical, creating natural retention. Open-source positioning appeals to security-conscious audience.
As of 2026-09-27, no working self-serve affiliate application could be found: the historical Refersion portal (bitwarden.refersion.com) now redirects to Refersion's homepage instead of a Bitwarden signup page. The 30% recurring/lifetime rate below reflects that discontinued (or unpublished-replacement) Refersion-hosted program, corroborated only by third-party affiliate-comparison sites, not by any current bitwarden.com page — treat the rate/payout figures as historical/unverified pending confirmation of a live program. Attribution window/cookie duration not published. Minimum payout threshold not documented. Payment method and frequency not specified. Approval process timeline not published.
What you would be selling
Bitwarden ran a 30% lifetime recurring affiliate program via Refersion, but that portal no longer accepts applications as of 2026-09-27 — there is currently no confirmed way in.
Bitwarden is one brand with 4 products, bought by different people. What one converted customer is worth cannot be worked out for any of them: that needs a rate, a plan price and a commission window, and this program does not publish all three.

How it pays
Route inNo working route as of 2026-09-27. Bitwarden previously ran its affiliate program on Refersion (bitwarden.refersion.com), matching this record's 30% recurring/lifetime terms per third-party affiliate-comparison sites, but that subdomain now returns HTTP 302 and redirects to Refersion's own generic marketing homepage (www.refersion.com) rather than a Bitwarden application page — the affiliate portal appears to have been taken down or migrated without a published replacement. bitwarden.com/partners/become-a-partner/ is a separate, live application form, but it is for MSP/reseller/technology partnerships (no commission %, no affiliate-link generation) and is not a substitute affiliate program.
