Bitwarden leaks passwords to other subdomains

Or you trust one user of a company but not another. Many services give each org a separate subdomain. If they support basic auth for whatever reason then just going to the other organisation will give them a hash of your credentials.

With basic auth you give something more than that. You give the ACTUAL credentials, because they are base64 encoded and not hashed. It is trivial to decode them and have the raw values.

To assume that a user trusts the subdomain because she trusts the domain, is something I find insane.

You're right. I was thinking of digest auth which at least has nonces and hashing. Basic does not.
