RoboForm to Bitwarden converter

RoboForm and Bitwarden both use CSV, but RoboForm writes 8 columns; Bitwarden expects 11 in a different order — so Bitwarden rejects a raw RoboForm export or silently files everything into the wrong fields. Drop your export below and get back a file Bitwarden accepts.

Convert your RoboForm export

Drop your RoboForm CSV here or click to choose a file — nothing is uploaded

The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript. Your file is never sent to a server — you can confirm it by opening your browser's Network tab, or by turning off Wi-Fi before you drop the file in. Prefer not to do this in a browser tab at all? Download the converter and run it from your own disk.

Your export file is plaintext. Both the file RoboForm gives you and the one you download here contain every password in readable form. Delete them as soon as the import is verified, and empty your trash.

What's actually different between the two formats

Only 2 of 8 column names match (name, folder), and they're in a different order — enough for Bitwarden to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields.

RoboForm column	Bitwarden column	What happens
`Name`	`name`	Renamed and repositioned
`Login`	`login_username`	Renamed and repositioned
`Pwd`	`login_password`	Renamed and repositioned
`Url`	`login_uri`	Renamed and repositioned
`— none —`	`login_totp`	Left empty — RoboForm exports nothing for this.
`Note`	`notes`	Renamed and repositioned
`Folder`	`folder`	Renamed and repositioned
`— none —`	`favorite`	Left empty — RoboForm exports nothing for this.

Step 1 — Export from RoboForm

Open the RoboForm desktop editor and unlock your data.
Choose RoboForm menu → Options → Account & Data → Export.
Pick CSV format and a destination folder.
Confirm with your Master Password.

Watch out for

The RfFieldsV2 column packs every extra form field into one delimited blob. It is RoboForm-specific and cannot be read by any other manager — the converter unpacks what it can into notes.
Export requires the Windows or macOS desktop editor; the extension alone will not do it.

Step 2 — Convert it

Drop the file onto the converter above. It parses RoboForm's layout, maps each field onto the universal record, then writes Bitwarden's exact expected columns — including the empty ones its importer requires and, where the two differ, the right shape for 2FA secrets. You'll see a preview and a list of anything Bitwarden can't hold before you download.

Rather not put this file in a browser tab connected to the internet? The same converter is available as a single HTML file you can download and open with your network switched off.

Step 3 — Import into Bitwarden

Sign in to the Bitwarden web vault at vault.bitwarden.com.
Go to Tools → Import data.
Under "File format", pick Bitwarden (csv).
Choose the converted file and select Import data.

Watch out for

Bitwarden prefixes bare domains with http:// on import. If you care about https, put the full URL in the login_uri column.
The free plan allows only two collections in an organization vault — import to your personal vault if your folder count is higher.

Step 4 — Verify and clean up

Open ten entries in Bitwarden at random and check them against RoboForm.
Generate a 2FA code for one account in Bitwarden and confirm it matches RoboForm. A TOTP secret that imported wrong fails silently until you're locked out.
Sign in to one real site using Bitwarden to confirm autofill works.
Delete both CSV files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, confirm the deletion propagated there too.
Only then close your RoboForm account — and change any password you suspect was exposed while the plaintext file existed.

Questions

Why won't Bitwarden import my RoboForm file directly?

Only 2 of 8 column names match (name, folder), and they're in a different order — enough for Bitwarden to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields. The converter rewrites the file into Bitwarden's exact expected layout, including the column order and any empty columns its importer requires.

Do my passwords get uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion is JavaScript running in your own browser tab — the file is read with the FileReader API, transformed in memory, and handed back to you as a download. There is no upload, no server-side processing and no analytics attached to the file. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet before you drop the file in: the conversion still works.

Does anything get lost moving from RoboForm to Bitwarden?

Bitwarden supports every field RoboForm exports, so a standard login entry survives intact — name, username, password, URL, notes, folder and 2FA secret. File attachments are the exception: no CSV export from any manager includes them, so download those separately before you close your RoboForm account.

Will my two-factor codes still work after the move?

Yes, as long as RoboForm exported the secrets. RoboForm and Bitwarden store them in different shapes — one uses a bare Base32 secret, the other a full otpauth:// URI — and the converter translates between them, which is the step most manual migrations get wrong. Check a couple of codes against your old vault before you delete it, since a TOTP secret that fails to import is silent until you're locked out.

Is the export file from RoboForm encrypted?

No. A RoboForm CSV export is plaintext — every password in it is readable by anything that can open the file, including other apps on your machine and anything that syncs your Downloads folder to the cloud. Convert it, import it, then delete both files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, check that the deletion propagated.

Anything unusual about RoboForm's export?

The RfFieldsV2 column packs every extra form field into one delimited blob. It is RoboForm-specific and cannot be read by any other manager — the converter unpacks what it can into notes.

Anything unusual about importing into Bitwarden?

Bitwarden prefixes bare domains with http:// on import. If you care about https, put the full URL in the login_uri column.
