## About Managing Items
Managing the items in your vault is key to making sure that you secure, have access to, and can share the correct information with friends, family, teams, and colleagues.
## Adding items
Adding items to your Bitwarden vault can be done manually or via import.
To manually add an item, once youre in your vault - simply click or touch the “+” icon or “Add item” button.
Youll then be asked to provide details about the item.

The type of item can be:
- Login: A username/password combination usually, with support for custom fields, notes, and TOTP generation for premium and enterprise accounts.
- Card: Saves payment card data that can be automatically filled.
- Identity: Personal/Business information such as name and addresses, date of birth, and even notes.
- Secure Note: Freeform text that will be stored completely encrypted in your vault.
## Importing items
If youre coming from another password manager or **just happen** to have your usernames and passwords in a spreadsheet, you can import them into Bitwarden
You can find more details about importing items and supported import formats [here.](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/import-data/)
### Import FAQs
- Why is my import file invalid?
- Check to make sure the file has content. Most of the time the exported file does not contain any data.
- Why do I have duplicate entries?
- The Bitwarden import tool does not perform duplicate entry detection on import. If you run an import on an existing vault, or import multiple times, your data may be duplicated.
- How do I clean up duplicates?
- We recommend exporting the data from your vault into a CSV/JSON file and performing a vault purge to delete your data.
{% warning %} Performing a vault purge is permanent and cannot be undone. Once the vault has been emptied and the CSV/JSON file has been pruned of any duplicates, simply re-import your data.{% endwarning %}
## Cloning an item
If you wish to recreate an item (either to share with an organization or to simply make a copy of an item, you can now do so - provided you are the owner of the item - with a one-click operation. This copies the item completely and maintains all data.
Simply select clone under the items action menu:
{% image /manage-items/item-clone.png %}
{%note%}Note - when cloning an item in an organization vault, the user must view the vault from the organization, not the users personal vault {%endnote%}
## Deleting an item
Deleting an item can also be performed in the items action menu.
{% image /manage-items/item-delete.png %}
Once the delete button is selected, you will be prompted to confirm the deletion.
{% image /manage-items/item-trash-confirm.png %}
Once confirmed, the item will be placed into the trash.
## Items in the trash
Once an item has been deleted and is in the trash, it will remain there for 30 days. You can alternatively navigate to the trash view in your vault and restore, or permanently delete the item immediately.

title: Vault timeout options

## Vault timeout
Vault timeout is an option within your Bitwarden client (mobile, web, desktop, browser, etc) that allows you to stop your vault from being accessed on that client after a configured event or time.
All clients will support basic time-bound options such as:
- Immediately
- 15 minutes
- 30 minutes
- 1 hour, etc.
Some clients may support specific functions, such as:
- On system idle
- On browser refresh, etc.
There are **two options** available to configure what occurs when those time limits or events occur.
{% image /vault-timeout/timeout-options.png %}
## Lock
Locking your vault is the default behavior. This will maintain vault data on the device and will only prompt for your master password to decrypt and re-allow access to your vault.
This is the option most users prefer, as it is usually the fastest and does **not** require the Bitwarden client to be online or able to connect to a Bitwarden server.
## Log Out
Logging out is the most secure option. This completely removes the Bitwarden data from the device and requires reauthentication to access your vault.
This option will prompt a user for their email and master password, as well as any two-step authentication tokens that may be configured. The Bitwarden client **must** be online to accommodate access to your vault when this option is selected.
