Vault does not currently provide a general Bitwarden import button or CLI import command. Use a deliberate manual transfer for a small approved set. Do not upload an entire export to an unrelated form.

Prepare the destination

Choose the workspace and folder, then decide which people or clients will need access. Match each source item to a supported credential type. Secure notes can hold multiline text; structured logins, database connections and keys have dedicated editors.

Transfer and verify

1. Open one authorized source item in Bitwarden.
2. Create the corresponding Vault record, copying secret fields only into the type’s secret inputs.
3. Keep private information out of its name, description and tags.
4. Store it, verify the displayed connection details, and test the intended consumer through an approved read.
5. Check the resulting audit event and sharing before transferring the next item.

Keep the original until you have verified the destination and updated consumers. A bulk export may contain many plaintext secrets; use an operator-reviewed migration process if the transfer is too large for careful manual work. This guide does not establish automated field mapping or migration completeness.
