[smehrens]

Summary

To create a backup from bitwarden in keepassxc

Examples

(tools from bitwarden)
bw login --apikey jkdhslkjdhsdjkhdskjhdfkjlhdjklshd
bw export --output bw_export.json --format json
(tool from keepassxc)
keepassxc-cli -k password_file import_bw bw_export.json bw_backup.kdbx
(then use keeshare to import to a subgroup of the main peepassxc file)

Context

Several companies or organizations offers me a bitwarden account. I like to use keepassxc.
With such export import i could use the shared passwords within my favorit password manager.

smile or add a gui tool to sync bitwarden to groups in keepassxc

Best regards

2.7.7 introduced Bitwarden import from the GUI. We have not enabled it in the CLI tool. However, do not confuse an import with a sync. Importing is a one time action, it does not merge existing entries.

It's a way to "emulate" syncing bitwarden to a subgroub of a kdbx database.

1. cli export of bitwarden to file
2. import bitwarden to new keepassxc database
3. keeshare import keepassxc database in a subfolder of another database.

so its a one-way sync or a scriptable import job........
