Help & FAQ/Import guides

Export your Bitwarden vault

Bitwarden exports your whole vault as one unencrypted .json file, and PrivacyNotes files every item where it belongs: logins, cards, SSH keys, and secure notes.

Ask your AI agent instead

Export your vault from Bitwarden

  1. Open the Bitwarden web vault (or the desktop app) and sign in.
  2. Go to Tools, then "Export vault".
  3. Choose the file format .json (the plain one, not ".json (Encrypted)").
  4. Confirm with your master password and download the file.

Where things land

Logins become Vault login entries (with their site icons), cards become card entries, SSH keys become SSH key entries, and secure notes plus identities arrive as readable notes. Bitwarden folders map to tags, and favorites arrive starred. Authenticator keys (TOTP) come along too, so your 2FA codes keep working.

The export file holds your passwords in plain text, so import it, verify everything arrived, and then delete the file properly. Inside PrivacyNotes it is all encrypted again, on your device and on the way to the server.

Import into PrivacyNotes

  1. Open PrivacyNotes and go to Settings > Import & Export.
  2. Pick Bitwarden as the source.
  3. Drop in the file you just exported, or click to browse.
  4. Check what the preview says will arrive, then start the import.

Answer my questions about PrivacyNotes using only its help center, its changelog and its security documentation.

Start here: https://privacynotes.app/llms-index.txt
It lists every question with the page that answers it. Fetch the one or two that match mine.
If you can only make one request, fetch https://privacynotes.app/llms-full.txt instead.
If you cannot fetch a .txt or .md file, read https://privacynotes.app/help, https://privacynotes.app/changelog and https://github.com/LifetimeLabsDev/PrivacyNotes.app instead.

For what changed, or where something moved, fetch https://privacynotes.app/changelog.md.

For how the encryption works, what the server can read, or how to check any of it yourself, fetch https://privacynotes.app/docs/index.md and follow it to one of the documents it lists. That index is a router: cite the document, never the index.

Rules:
- Use only those pages. If they do not answer something, say so instead of guessing.
- Never invent a feature, a menu path, a price, or a limit.
- End your reply with the "Source:" URL from the page you used, exactly as written.
- Answer in the same language as my question.
- Never ask me for my recovery phrase, my PIN, or the contents of a note.

If no question follows, ask me what I would like to know.

My first question:

Never paste your recovery phrase, your PIN, or a note into an AI.
