Bitwarden, Inc. — Cyborg Score 7/10

Strong
Password management and identity security

Strategic Profile

Bitwarden's open-source software is available on iOS and Android, enabling broad accessibility and community-driven development. The company acquired Passwordless.dev in January 2023, expanding its identity security capabilities. In 2026, Bitwarden introduced new enterprise capabilities including Vault Health Alerts, Password Coaching, Access Intelligence, and passkey innovations, along with secure AI-assisted workflows.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Bitwarden has raised $100M across two funding rounds, including a Series C led by PSG and Battery Ventures. The company operates with 257 employees as of May 2026. However, limited transparency on revenue and slowing funding velocity since September 2022 offset strong product innovation and enterprise traction.
