Migrate from 1Password to Bitwarden

Export

1. 1

   Step 1

   Export from 1Password

   In the 1Password app, export the vault. Prefer the 1PUX format when Bitwarden's importer lists it. CSV is the fallback and is easier to mishandle.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Export each shared vault

   Personal and shared vaults export separately. A team migration is one export per vault, not one file for the company.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Store the export like a secret

   The file is an unencrypted copy of the vault if you picked CSV. Put it in an encrypted disk, import, then delete it.

Import

1. 1

   Step 1

   Create the Bitwarden account

   Use the hosted service or a self-hosted server you have already tested with one login.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Import 1PUX or CSV

   Bitwarden documents a 1Password importer in the web vault. Import into a fresh vault and spot-check logins, TOTP, and notes.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Rebuild sharing

   Create an organization or a family and move items into the shared collection. Permissions do not import.

What breaks

• Passkeys

  Some passkeys import and some sites will ask you to create them again. Sign in with the password once and replace the passkey.

• Travel Mode and item history

  1Password Travel Mode and per-item history do not exist in the same form. Old versions of a login stay in 1Password unless you copied them out.

• Watchtower

  Bitwarden's breach report is a Premium feature. The free vault still stores the logins. Do not expect the same dashboard on day one.
