Import your passwords

Bring over the passwords from your browser or your old manager, into your personal vault or your team's.

Export from your old tool

Chrome
  1. Open Google Password Manager from the Chrome menu.
  2. Open "Settings", then choose to export passwords: you get a CSV file.
Microsoft Edge
  1. Open Edge settings, then passwords.
  2. Open the "…" menu and choose to export passwords: you get a CSV file.
Firefox
  1. Open the Firefox menu, then "Passwords".
  2. Open the "…" menu and choose to export passwords: you get a CSV file.
1Password, LastPass and other managers
  1. Use your tool's export feature, preferably in the format offered for Bitwarden or its native format.
  2. The "File format" dropdown in the next step lists all supported sources.

Import into your personal vault

  1. In the web vault, open "Tools", then "Import data".
  2. Choose the destination, then the "File format" that matches your tool.
  3. Select the file, then start the import.

Import into the team's vault

Reserved for owners and admins.

  1. Open the admin console, then "Settings" and "Import data".
  2. Choose the destination collection, then the "File format".
  3. Select the file, then start the import.

Each imported item must belong to at least one collection. Import in batches if your passwords go into different collections.

After the import

  • Check that your items have arrived. Importing the same file a second time creates duplicates.
  • Turn off your browser's password manager: see the "Browser extension" guide.

The exported file contains your passwords in clear text. Delete it as soon as the import is done, and empty the trash too.
