Encrypted Exports provide a secure long-term storage option for Vault data backups. Vault data is encrypted using your account's Encryption Key.
|
|
|
|
{% callout warning %}
|
|
[Rotating your account's encryption key]({% link _articles/account/account-encryption-key.md %}) will render an Encrypted Export impossible to decrypt. **If you rotate your account encryption key, replace the old backup with one that uses the new encryption key.**
|
|
|
|
Account Encryption Keys are unique to each Bitwarden user account, so you won't be able to import an Encrypted Export into a different account.
|
|
{% endcallout %}
|
|
|
|
An Encrypted Export of the following plaintext login item:
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
"login": {
|
|
"username": "mylogin",
|
|
"password": "mypassword",
|
|
"totp": "otpauth://totp/my-secret-key"
|
|
},
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will look something like:
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
"login": {
|
|
"username": "9.dZwQ+b9Zasp98dnfp[g|dHZZ1p19783bn1KzkEsA=l52bcWB/w9unvCt2zE/kCwdpiubAOf104os}",
|

"password": "1o8y3oqsp8n8986HmW7qA=oiCZo872b3dbp0nzT/Pw=|A2lgso87bfDBCys049ano278ebdmTe4:",
