bitwarden takes security very seriously when it comes to handling your sensative data. Your data is never sent to the
|
|
bitwarden cloud servers without first being encrypted on your local device using [AES][aes] 256 bit encryption. You can read
|
|
more about bitwarden encryption [here][encryption]. bitwarden never stores meaningful data on its servers.
|
|
|
|
When your devices sync with the bitwarden cloud servers, a copy of the encrypted data is downloaded and securely stored
|
|
to your local device. Whenever you use the bitwarden apps or extensions your data is decrypted only in memory as needed.
|
|
Data is never stored in its decrypted form on the remote bitwarden servers or on your local device.
|
|
|
|
bitwarden servers are securely hosted and managed in the [Microsoft Azure cloud][azure].
