Bitwarden provides a data import tool for easy migration from any password management solution to your personal Vault or Organization Vault (see [Import Data to an Organization]({% link _articles/organizations/import-to-org.md %})).

You can also use the data import tool to import from one Bitwarden Vault to another, or to import a backup [Encrypted Export]({% link _articles/importing/encrypted-export.md %}).

Bitwarden supports a large array of formats for import, including those used by the most popular password management solutions:

• [Import from LastPass]({% link _articles/importing/import-from-lastpass.md %})
• [Import from 1Password]({% link _articles/importing/import-from-1password.md %})
• [Import from Firefox]({% link _articles/importing/import-from-firefox.md %})
• [Import from Google Chrome]({% link _articles/importing/import-from-chrome.md %})

For a full list of supported formats, see Supported Formats.

Import to your Personal Vault

To import your data into a personal Vault:

1. Log in to the Web Vault{:target="_blank"}.

2. Select Tools from the top navigation bar.

3. Select Import Data from the left Tools menu.

4. Select the format of your file to import from the dropdown menu.

   {% callout success%}If you're importing an [Encrypted Export]({% link _articles/importing/encrypted-export.md %}), select .json as you would if it were plaintext. A handler will determine that the file is encrypted and decrypt using your account encryption key.{% endcallout %}

5. Select the Browse button and add your file.

6. Select the Import Data button to complete your import.

{% callout warning %} Importing data multiple times will create duplicates. {% endcallout %}

Length-related Import Errors

The following error messages, typically received when attempting to import a .csv, indicate that a field in your import file exceeds the allowed encrypted character limit for that field type:

{% image /importing/ciphererrors.png Cipher errors in the Web Vault%}

These error messages contain 3 pieces of pertinent data:

• Ciphers[X] indicates the index number where the offending item is located.

• The field <field> indicates the field name which is causing the offense.

• length of <limit> characters indicates the character limit allowed for that field.

  {% callout note %}On import to Bitwarden, the character count of any given field is increased due to encryption, meaning that an 8000-character note field in your .csv will scale to 10,000+ characters when it comes into contact with Bitwarden, triggering this error. As a rule of thumb, character counts will grow between 30-50% when encrypted.{% endcallout %}

To solve this issue:

1. Open the .csv file you're attempting to import in a text editor or spreadsheet program.

2. Locate the offending item at index[X]. The value of X references a .csv index number, so depending on the program you use to edit your file it may not map perfectly to a spreadsheet Row or Line number.

   In many cases, you'll need to adjust for .csv header rows, which are not counted in many spreadsheet programs. It can also help to use field name (yyyy) and perceived character length as context clues.

   {% callout success %}If you've having trouble locating the offending item using the data provided in the error, it may help to focus first on notes as these are frequently the cause of this error.{% endcallout %}

3. Remove the offending item from your import file, or reduce the character count. When reducing the character count, remember that limits are placed on encrypted counts, not pre-encryption counts. As a rule of thumb, character counts will grow between 30-50% when Bitwarden attempts to encrypt a field on import.
