Your data is also automatically synced to our [cloud servers]({% link _articles/security/where-is-data-stored-cloud.md %}). In the event that you need to recover your data due to a device crash, simply reinstall the Bitwarden application and log in and your data will be re-synced.

All sensitive data stored on your computer/device is encrypted. The data can be found in the following locations:

Desktop

• Windows
  • Standard Installations & Store: %AppData%\Bitwarden
  • Portable: .\bitwarden-appdata
• macOS
  • Standard Installations: ~/Library/Application Support/Bitwarden
  • Mac App Store: ~/Library/Containers/com.bitwarden.desktop/Data/Library/Application Support/Bitwarden
• Linux
  • Standard Installations: ~/.config/Bitwarden
  • Snap: ~/snap/bitwarden/current/.config/Bitwarden

{% tip %} You can override the storage location for your Bitwarden desktop application data by setting the BITWARDEN_APPDATA_DIR environment variable to an absolute path. {% endtip %}

Browser Extension

• Windows
  • Chrome: %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb
  • Firefox: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\your_profile\storage\default\moz-extension+++[UUID]^userContextId=[integer]

  • Brave: %AppData%\brave\Local Extension Settings\nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb
  • Edge: %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\Extensions\Storage
• macOS
  • Chrome: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local Extension Settings/nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb

  • Firefox: ~/.mozilla/firefox/your_profile/storage/default/moz-extension+++[UUID]^userContextID=[integer]

{% note %} To enhance security, Firefox uses Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) within extension storage folder names. Use the about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox page (navigate from Firefox's address bar) to locate your Bitwarden extension UUID. Replace [UUID] with that UUID. Note also that Firefox allows users to customize where to store their profiles (and thus local Bitwarden extension data). The location specified above is the default. {% endnote %}

• Android: /data/data/com.x8bit.bitwarden/
