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.

  1. Navigate to the vault you'd like to export.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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:

To import data to your vault:

  1. Select Tools.

  2. Select Import data:

    Import data
    Import data

  3. From the Vault dropdown menu, select where to save the data:

    • Individual vault: Select My vault and (optional) choose a Folder to put the items in.

      tip

      If you select a Folder here, any folders defined in your import file will be nested inside it when when they're created.

    • Organization vault: Select the organization vault’s name and choose a Collection. (The Manage collection permission is required.)

  4. From the File format dropdown menu, select the import file format.

  5. Select Choose File and pick the file or copy and paste your file’s contents into the text box.

    warning

    Importing does not check for duplicates. If you import the same file more than once or import items already in your vault, duplicate items will be created.

  6. Select Import data. If you are importing a password protected .json file, enter the password into the Confirm vault import window that appears.

  7. 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.
