2. Click the Saved Logins button.

3. Click the  menu button from the top right and select Export Logins from the dropdown.

   You will be prompted to specify a location to save your login export.

To import data to your vault from the CLI, use the following command:

BashCopy
bw import <format> <path>

bw import requires a format (use bw import --formats to retrieve a list of formats) and a path, for example:

BashCopy
bw import <format> /Users/myaccount/Documents/mydata.csv
