To import and export vaults you need to provide the path to the file to import from or export to, and you can provide the format to import from or export to, the format can be lprs or bit-warden, and the imported or exported file must be .json file.

For the import command, you can provide the decryption password of the imported vaults if they are exported in the lprs format, if there is no decryption password provided, the master password will be used.

For the export command, you can provide the encryption password of the exported vaults in the lprs format, if there is no encryption password provided, the master password will be used.

Examples

Import vaults from a file in the lprs format:

lprs import /path/to/vaults.json

Import vaults from a file in the lprs format with a decryption password (You will be prompted for the decryption password):

lprs import /path/to/vaults.json -p

Import vaults from a file in the bit-warden format:

lprs import /path/to/vaults.json -f bit-warden

Export vaults to a file in the lprs format (is the default format):

lprs export /path/to/vaults.json

export vaults to a file in the lprs format with an encryption password (You will be prompted for the encryption password):

lprs export /path/to/vaults.json -p

Export vaults to a file in the bit-warden format:

lprs export /path/to/vaults.json -f bit-warden

Notes

• The imported or exported file must be a .json file.
• The imported vaults will be added to the current vaults.
• The imported vaults must don't have a custom field prefixed with .lprsfield. because it's reserved for backwards compatibility.
