Bitwarden is an open-source freemium password management service that stores sensitive information such as website credentials in an encrypted vault. The Bitwarden platform offers a variety of client applications including a web interface, desktop applications, browser extensions, mobile apps, and a CLI.[1] Bitwarden offers a cloud-hosted service as well as the ability to deploy the solution on-premise.[2]
Reception[edit]
Bitwarden debuted on Hacker News in 2016 and received over 100 comments from users.[3] Some of the comments accused Bitwarden of copying LastPass while others suggested they personally chose to stop using LastPass following the 2015 acquisition of LastPass by LogMeIn, a provider of corporate IT solutions.
Shortly thereafter, Bitwarden's founder and lead developer, Kyle Spearrin, hosted an AMA on Reddit where he answered questions from Reddit users regarding how Bitwarden was built and the growing need for using password managers.[4]
Bitwarden is the first choice for those who want to change the password manager for an open source solution as the article by Daniel Aleksandersen shows.[5]
History[edit]
In February 2017, the Brave web browser began including the Bitwarden extension as an optional replacement password manager.[6]
In February 2018, Bitwarden debuted as a stand-alone desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows. The app was built as web app variant of the browser extension and delivered on top of Electron.[7] The Windows app joined the Bitwarden extension for Microsoft Edge in the Microsoft Store a month later.[8][9]
In June 2018, Cliqz performed a privacy and security review of the Bitwarden for Firefox browser extension and concluded that it wouldn't negatively impact their users. Following the review, Bitwarden was made available as an optional password manager in the Cliqz web browser.[10]

Security incidents[edit]
Bitwarden loaded JavaScript resources from third-parties including scripts from BootstrapCDN, Google, and Stripe inside the web vault. While most of the third-party scripts were protected with Subresource Integrity, others were unconstrained and theoretically could have accessed a user's unencrypted passwords.[14] Bitwarden web vault version 2.0 significantly reduced this risk by removing the third party scripts and is only potentially exploitable by Stripe when viewing payment pages.[15]
A quirk in the implementation of how the Chrome browser extension utilized the web extension storage API made it possible to retrieve the vault's encryption key from the local device.[16] The issue was fixed in Bitwarden version 1.24.2.[16]
