I’m trying to import my 1password vault to Bitwarden, but I’m getting a generic error, Failed to parse key. I’m using the latest 1Password and Bitwarden on Mac. Appreciate any help as I’m trying to move away from 1password.
From 1password, I exported it to .1pux format. I recalled I’ve this before few months ago, and there was no issue.
@alienxp03 Welcome to the forum!
If you have an iOS 26+ device, you could try if the new CXP route works: Import from 1Password | Bitwarden
PS: Maybe just a coincidence – there is a similar issue on GitHub: Unable to import 1password 1pux (related to ssh key) · Issue #20432 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub – If it’s also an SSH key in your case @alienxp03 you might use the solution that OP there posted. (and 1PUX files are unencrypted ZIP archives, so you could also unzip the file and remove e.g. incompatible SSH keys before zipping it again… BTW, here another list to check for import compatibility: Import Data | Bitwarden)
Your first solution works! Thanks!
From 1password, Settings → Advanced → Start Export → Bitwarden.
I encountered this today, but do not have to option of the workaround using CXP (though I look forward to this being available).
I’m confident that the problem is not with having an ssh key in the 1PUX, as I have successfully imported many times with one until today. I commented on the Github issue.
I tried the CXP route, and it doesn’t seem to do anything. am i doing something wrong? i have an iphone 17 pro max on ios 26.5.1, 1password mobile app version 8.12.22, and bitwarden mobile app version 2026.5.0. i use bitwarden with a self-hosted instance (but i also have a bitwarden.com account), premium licensed (both; license imported on self-hosted instance). i received the same key parse error on import in the web app with my 1password 1pux file. i see the messages about not trying to import ssh keys, but i have 50+ keys in my 1pw vault and i wish to carry them over as well. when i tried the CXP route, i select export within 1password, 1pw has me identify myself and confirm i want to export (by typing out my account name) and i select bitwarden as the target but then it sits there and does nothing. eventually if i just ‘X’ out, it claims error to start export or what have you.
any further thoughts?
And “it” is the Bitwarden app – or the 1Password app (which reports the error)?
I think I would recommend to contact BW support about this behaviour.
If it looks like a possible issue with the 1Password app, you should also consider contacting them.
the 1PW app reports the error. bitwarden app does nothing at all but act normally. i will do that. thanks.
