Bitwarden uses [AES][aes]{:target="blank"} 256 bit encryption as well as [PBKDF2][pbkdf2]{:target="blank"} to secure your data.
[AES][aes]{:target="blank"} is used by the US government and other government agencies around the world for protecting top secret data. With proper implementation and a strong encryption key (your master password), AES is considered unbreakable.
[PBKDF2][pbkdf2]{:target="blank"} is used to derive the encryption key from your master password. This key is then salted and hashed.
