Originally created by @pamperer562580892423 on GitHub (Dec 22, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6293

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Android app: Go to Settings --> Vault --> Export
  2. Export your personal vault (!) as a password protected JSON.
  3. Go to (e.g.) the web vault and try to import it (as Bitwarden JSON) and into "My vault".

I don't know if this matters for reproduction or not, but I tried to import into a folder.

Expected Result

The export gets imported successfully.

Actual Result

Though the passwords should be identical (I tested it several times and there shouldn't be any typos involved), I get an import error:

Screenshots or Videos

Additional Context

This (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/1pt0kf7/error_when_trying_to_import_encrypted_json_file/) report on Reddit made me test it myself, so it's not only one person experiencing this as it seems.

PS: And I reported this in the Android section now, as I would (primarily) think that the Android app seems to have some kind of an exporting-bug. - But of course, it could also be, that the web vault has an importing-bug here... Or both...

PPS: The file password is a passphrase that also contains special characters, but nothing too "fancy". As I tested it with my own vault data, I didn't want to test for now if it would work with a modified password e.g. only consisting of letters.

@maxkpower Ah, if you even can say that at this point, I think it would be good to know for iOS users, if it's also an issue on the iOS mobile app.

Is there any way to restore or decrypt the encrypted files exported from this version of the app?

I have solved this problem by writing a Python script to decrypt the wrongly formatted JSON, so there is no need to pay attention to it again.
