No.
Since your data is fully encrypted and/or hashed before ever leaving **your** local device, noone from the bitwarden
team can ever see, read, or reverse engineer to get to your real data. bitwarden servers only store encypted and hashed
data. This is an important step that bitwarden takes to protect you.
You can read more about how your data is encrypted and trasmitted [here][whatencryption].

title: What happens if bitwarden gets hacked?
category: Security
featured: true
popular: false
tags: [hacked]

bitwarden takes extreme measures to ensure that its websites, application, and cloud servers are secure. Part of this security
comes from the fact that [we rely on managed services and do not manage our cloud server infrastructure at all][cloud].
However, if for some reason bitwarden were to get hacked and your data was exposed, your information is still protected. This is
because bitwarden uses strong encryption and one-way salted hashing. As long as you use a strong master password, your data is
safe no matter who gets ahold of it.

1. bitwarden is 100% open source software. All of our source code is hosted on [GitHub][github] and is free for anyone
to review. Hundreds of software developers follow bitwarden's source code projects (and you can too!).
2. We do not store your passwords. We store encrypted versions of your passwords that only you can unlock][encrypted].
Your sensitive information is all encrypted locally on your personal device before ever being sent to our cloud servers.
3. bitwarden has a reputation. bitwarden is used by thousands of people. If we did anything questionable or risky we
would be out of business.
