Import Data from Myki
Use this article for help exporting data from Myki and importing into Bitwarden. Myki data exports are available as .csv files.
The process for exporting data from Myki is different depending on which platform you are using. Whenever possible, we recommend exporting from the Myki web app for the smoothest experience importing to Bitwarden.
For help exporting from Myki, refer to these Myki articles.
If you exported from a Myki mobile app, you will be required to condition your .csv files for import into Bitwarden. This will primarily involve renaming column headers and, in some cases, re-ordering columns in the .csv.
Each of the following sections will document first the format exported by Myki and second the format expected by Bitwarden.
