The code for Bitwarden´s open source software is published on GitHub for everyone to see and inspect. The provider also invites the open source community to contribute to the code and runs a bug bounty offer to reward anybody who finds a vulnerability in the software. Therefore, bugs are made public as soon as they are found, and any vulnerabilities are patched immediately. While this doesn´t guarantee Bitwarden is more secure than Dashlane, it does mean there is less likelihood of a bug affecting the performance of the password manager and a degree of certainty that, if something does go wrong, the issue will be resolved quickly. Being open source also means new features can be tested and rolled out quicker than with proprietary software.
