Import from Myki

Use this article for help exporting data from Myki and importing into Bitwarden. Myki data exports are available as .csv files.

Export from Myki

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.

Condition your CSVs

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.

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 Bitwarden vault:

  1. Select Tools.

  2. Select Import:

    Import items
    Import items

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

    • To save data in your personal vault, select My vault. (Optional) Choose an existing Folder to organize the imported items.

      note

      If your data file contains folders from your previous password manager and you select a destination folder from the dropdown menu, the imported folders will be nested inside the folder you selected.

    • To save data in an organization's vault, select the organization's name. (Optional) Choose a Collection to organize the imported items and share with other members. (You can only choose a collection where you have can manage permission.)

  4. From the File format dropdown menu, select the file format of your exported data.

  5. To enter your data, do one of the following:

    • Select Choose File and pick the exported file from your computer.

    • Copy and paste the contents of your exported file 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. If you're 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 exported data 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.
