Einträge mit Passwörtern aus Bitwarden in Klartext exportieren

Hallo und guten Tag ich bin neu hier im Forum

Ich hoffe, dass ich hier in diesem Unterforum richtig poste…Ansonsten bin ich dankbar, so ihr mir das nicht nachtragt…vielen Dank.

Ich benutze Bitwarden seit ca. 4 Jahren und dies über einen PC im Web und logge mich dort ein. Dazu habe ich die Bitwarden-App auf meinem Android Handy.

Meine Frage die ich habe, ist: Kann ich die Einträge mit/ zu den Passwörtern aus Bitwarden so exportieren, dass diese im Klartext zu lesen sind und ich diese in ein PDF-Dokument speichern kann?

Da ich viele Passwörter habe, sind diese im Bitwarden gespeichert. Auf Papier habe ich diese nicht notiert und wollte nun anfangen dies zu tun.
Ich danke Euch für Eure Hilfe
Liebe Grüsse Goldsunshine

Hello and good day, I am new to this forum.

I hope I am posting in the right subforum… Otherwise, I would be grateful if you would not hold it against me… Thank you very much.

I have been using Bitwarden for about 4 years via a PC on the web, where I log in. I also have the Bitwarden app on my Android phone.

My question is: Can I export the entries with/for the passwords from Bitwarden so that they can be read in plain text and I can save them in a PDF document?

Since I have many passwords, they are stored in Bitwarden. I have not written them down on paper and now want to start doing so.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards, Goldsunshine

Hello @Goldsunshine and welcome to the community.

Since the language of this forum is English, I will answer in that language.

The procedure to generate an unencrypted export is explained in the documentation. A German version is also available, but the translation is a bit rough.

@Goldsunshine Welcome to the forum!

So, your main goal would be to have a backup of your vault data then?

I assume that you mean the Web Vault (vault.bitwarden.com). You can create a plaintext export of your passwords by using the side-navigation menu to go to Tools > Export Vault (Werkzeuge > Tresor exportieren), then selecting “My Vault” (Mein Tresor) as the “Export From” option (Exportieren ab) and “.csv” as the “File format” option (Dateiformat), and clicking Confirm Format (Format bestätigen). Next, you will see a “Confirm Vault Export” prompt (Tresor-Export bestätigen), where you have to enter your master password and click Export Vault (Tresor exportieren). At this point, depending on your browser configuration, the export file will either be automatically downloaded into your Downloads folder, or you will be presented with a “Save As” prompt (to specify the final location of the downloaded file).

You can use any spreadsheet app (e.g., Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, macOS Numbers, or WPS Sheet) to open the exported CSV file, which will display your login credentials (and secure note items) in a tabular format. From there, you should be able to print or save the spreadsheet as a PDF (although you may want to first delete some unimportant columns and format everything nicely).

I should warn, however, that exporting your passwords in plaintext format is risky. In addition, routinely using the Web Vault (instead of the Bitwarden browser extension) is not recommended, and increases your vulnerability to security issues.
