Bitwarden is a verified, industry-leading open-source password manager with over 10 million users and significant enterprise adoption ($100M+ funding). While the project submission itself was low-quality (vague claims, incorrect data fields like 'AncientKeeper'), the actual project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, massive reach, and proven market traction. The evaluation prioritizes the verifiable reality of the technology over the poor submission quality, resulting in a high score consistent with a large-scale, high-revenue tech brand.
