Nobody from Bitwarden (or any other third-party) ever has access to your unencrypted data. Only encrypted data is stored in your vault and on Bitwarden’s cloud-based servers. Like most password managers, Bitwarden operates a zero-knowledge model where all your passwords are encrypted on your device. As a result, the security model is kept up-to-date with industry standards. More importantly, Bitwarden is also officially audited by third-party security firms to evaluate the app’s cryptographic design (the practice and study of techniques for secure communication by transforming messages in ways that are hard to decipher). Being open-source is regarded as one of the most important features of Bitwarden because it’s peer-reviewed, meaning it is open to a large base of inspectors who can quickly detect and fix any security flaws. ![]() ![]() This allows transparency about how the password manager works and how user data is handled. Bitwarden made the source code 100% available, under an open-source GPLv3 license. The source code for Bitwarden is hosted on the popular GitHub platform and anyone interested in the under-the-hood mechanics can download the code and investigate it further.
