Import

• Docs: Folders
• Importing passwords from other password managers
• Important: Import is not idempotant, meaning importing twice results in duplicated items and collections
  • Prevent this with purging before importing "Individual vaults can be purged from the Settings → My account page. Organization vaults can be purged from the Organization Settings → Organization info page."
  • FR: Duplicate removal tool/report (including merge)

Import to an organization

Using the admin UI: Import to an Organization

• Admin Console → Settings → Import data

Using the cli (there is not option to import all data into one collection, as you can choose in the UI):

bw import --formats
bw import --organizationid $BW_ORG bitwardencsv file.csv
