    Proven Security and Transparency

    Open Source Security

    Being open source is one of the most important features of the Bitwarden platform.

    We believe source code transparency should be a requirement for online security solutions like ours, and at Bitwarden, we are proud to work alongside our open source community to help us set new, higher security standards for password and sensitive data management on a global scale––and ultimately, make the online world a safer place.
