Bitwarden and iCloud

I noticed that Bitwarden is listed and enabled in “Apps using iCloud” and I’m just wondering why/what for exactly. Are there any potential security concerns with this at all or?

If anyone has any idea as to why Bitwarden uses iCloud I’d love to know. It wouldn’t be sending any unencrypted vault data to the cloud would it?

Hello @_Michael ,

I don’t use iOS, so this is just speculation. Bitwarden does have persistent settings despite logouts. These are saved in your iCloud account. If you remove Bitwarden, the next time you install the app, the settings will come back.

You can obviously try turning off Bitwarden in iCloud settings. Most likely, you won’t notice anything different until you remove and reinstall Bitwarden, after which you’ll have to reconfigure all your settings again.

That makes sense although when I’ve reinstalled Bitwarden I think it lost its settings so I don’t know.
