FAQs
Is Bitwarden open source?
Yes. Bitwarden publishes its client and server code for public inspection, and the desktop app is built from that public source.
Can I use Bitwarden on my phone too?
Yes. The same account works in the iOS and Android apps and in browser extensions, with the vault syncing securely between all of them.
What happens if I forget my master password?
Bitwarden cannot see or reset your master password, because the vault is encrypted with it on your device. Keep it recorded somewhere safe and offline.
