Import Data from 1Password
Use this article for help exporting data from 1Password and importing into Bitwarden. 1Password data exports are available as .1pux
(requires 1Password v8.5+), .1pif,
and .csv
files depending on which client version and operating system you are using. Learn what data 1Password exports include.
Export from 1Password
Complete the following steps to export data from the 1Password desktop app:
tip
Currently, only 1Password 8 allows you to export multiple vaults at once. If you are using 1Password 8, skip to Step 3.
Navigate to the vault you'd like to export.
In your vault, select the items you would like to export. Hold Ctrl/Cmd to select multiple vault items, or select everything by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + A.
Depending on your device:
On Windows, select File → Export or right-click and select Export.
On macOS, select File → Export → All Items...
note
When exporting a
.csv
from macOS, you must also select All Fields and check Include Column Labels.
In the export window, specify a location and file format.
Import to Bitwarden
Data can be imported to Bitwarden from the web app, browser extension, desktop app, and CLI. Data is encrypted locally before being sent to the server for storage.
note
While some item types cannot be imported, you can still add them to a vault:
Upload file attachments to the new vault individually.
Re-create Sends in the new vault.
To import data to your vault:
Select Tools.
Select Import data:
Import data From the Vault dropdown menu, select where to save the data:
Individual vault: Select My vault and (optional) choose a Folder to move the items.
Organization vault: Select the organization vault’s name and choose a Collection. (You need the Manage collection permission.)
From the File format dropdown menu, select the import file format.
Select Choose File and pick the file or copy and paste your file’s contents into the text box.
warning
Importing does not check whether items in the file to import already exist in your vault. If you import multiple files or import files with items already in your vault, this will create duplicates.
Select Import data. If you are importing a password protected
.json
file, enter the password into the Confirm vault import window that appears.After your data is imported, delete the import source file from your computer. This will protect you in the event your computer is compromised.
If an “Import error” message appears, no data was added to your vault. Fix the import file issue and try again.
