How does bitwarden encrypt their passwords? Im just realising that since it works on both my laptop and phone with no configuration it can't be overly nuanced
It's encrypted on the client and bitwarden themselves can't decrypt it (we assume, but there have been audits that seemed to confirm that).
If you want to you can just run your own server then they can't see the traffic at all.
Who's we? You probably mean you assume. Bitwarden is open source so an assumption need not be made.
There's an assumption that the code you see is the code running on their server. And on top of that there's lots of other software running on their servers.
