<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
|
|
<li class="nav-item" id="tab" role="presentation">
|
|
<a class="nav-link active" id="safaritab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-target="#safari" role="tab" aria-controls="safari" aria-selected="true">Safari</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="nav-item" id="tab" role="presentation">
|
|
<a class="nav-link" id="mactab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-target="#mac" role="tab" aria-controls="mac" aria-selected="false">macOS System Preferences</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<div class="tab-content" id="clientsContent">

<div class="tab-pane show active" id="safari" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="safaritab">

## Import to Bitwarden
|
|
|
|
Importing data to Bitwarden **can only be done from the Web Vault** or CLI. Data is [encrypted]({{site.baseurl}}/article/what-encryption-is-used) locally before being sent to the server for storage. To import your data:
|
|
|
|
1. In the Web Vault, select **Tools** from the top navigation bar.
|
|
2. Select **Import Data** from the left-hand Tools menu.
|
|
3. From the format dropdown, choose **Safari and macOS (csv)**.
|
|
4. Select the **Choose File** button and add the file to import or copy/paste the contents of your file into the input box.
|
|
|
|
{% callout warning %}Import to Bitwarden can't check whether items in the file to import are duplicative of items in your Vault. This means that **importing multiple files will create duplicates** of Vault items if that item is alread in the Vault.{% endcallout %}
|
|
5. Select the **Import Data** button to complete your import.
|
|
6. After successful import, delete the import source file from your computer. This will protect you in the event your computer is compromised.
|
|
|
|
Currently, file attachments are not included in Bitwarden import operations and will need to be uploaded to your Vault manually. For more information, see [File Attachments]({{site.baseurl}}/article/attachments/).
