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].

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.

Your encrypted data can be found on your computer/device in the following locations:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

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.
