Vaultwarden Audits

Vaultwarden has been audit by security companies which helps keeping Vaultwarden secure.

Some audits were done without publishing anything data publicly because the companies which requested the audit with those security companies didn't allowed it, but those researchers did provide the results.

Some audits are publicly published and can be accessed by everyone.
