Hi there and Happy New Year!
I have been trying to import my LastPass .csv into an existing Bitwarden account that I had set up over a year ago but realized that there was a potential for duplicates. So I followed these steps:
- Export your data as csv
- Using a spreadsheet or text program open the CSV file and verify all your data is there. Then manually delete/update as needed (be careful not to delete first row or first column as these are the title row and folder column), and save. (I recommend to save with a different filename to preserve the original, in case you need to go back to it). Ensure it’s saved back as a .csv file.
- on Bitwarden web page go to your account and to the “Danger Zone” section at the bottom. Do a Purge Vault (This will erase all your files from the vault. Verify all your data has been erased.
- Go to Tools and Import your newly updated file as Bitwarden CSV file
- Verify your data has been uploaded.
Despite purging the vault, verifying that it was empty, and signing out and back in before importing, I am still getting duplicates as if Bitwarden is keeping the purged files in memory. Has anyone got a suggestion? I will mention that there are no duplicates in the .csv file, it seems to be a problem of the purging not working properly (although it appears to be doing so.) I am on a PC using Chrome.
Thanks in advance.
