Use this article for help exporting data from Password Safe and importing into Bitwarden. Password Safe (V8) currently only supports exporting as `.csv` file. Older versions also supported `.xml`.
|
|
|
|
## Export from Password Safe
|
|
|
|
Complete the following steps to export data from the Password Safe Desktop App:
|
|
|
|
1. Open Password Safe 8 and open the **Extras** menu from the upper left corner.
|
|
|
|
2. Locate the **Export** option on the left-hand side and then choose **Passwords**.
|
|
|
|
3. For the type please select `CSV` and enter a path to save the exported file. Leave the encoding at UTF-8.

6. Set the text qualifier to **`"`**(double quote)
|
|
7. Check the checkbox to keep the column headers

|
8. Click **Finish** to start the export.
|
|
{% callout warning %}Please note that Password Safe will export a `.csv` for **every** category you have and not just a single `.csv`.
|
|
{% endcallout %}
|
|
|
|
## Prepare exported file before import
|
|
Currently we do not offer a specific importer for this type of file.
|
|
|
|
To prepare the exported file for import, please follow the instructions in this guide: [Condition a Bitwarden .csv or .json]({% link _articles/importing/condition-bitwarden-import.md %})
|
|
|
|
## Import to Bitwarden
|
|
|
|
Complete the following steps to import data to your Bitwarden personal Vault (for help importing to an Organization Vault, see [Import Items to an Organization]({% link _articles/organizations/import-to-org.md %})):
|
|
|
|
1. Log in to the [Web Vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com){:target="\_blank"}.
|
|
2. Select **Tools** from the top navigation bar.
|
|
3. Select **Import Data** from the left Tools menu.
|
|
4. Select **Bitwarden (csv)** from the format dropdown.
|
|
5. Select the **Browse...** button and select the file you prepared in a previous step.
|
|
6. Select the **Import Data** button to complete your import.
|
|
|
|

|

Importing data multiple times will create duplicates.
