Importing from Bitwarden fails with the below error:

I am following the instructions here: https://support.1password.com/import-bitwarden and am using encrypted json (password protected).

I can still use csv but that requires a few manual steps.

Hello @pewpew! 👋

I'm sorry that you ran into an issue when importing your items from Bitwarden. From the error message, it looks like you might have your KDF algorithm in Bitwarden set to Argon2id.

To resolve this issue, change your KDF algorithm to PBKDF2, then repeat the steps to export and import your data.

If that doesn't resolve the issue then please send an email to support@1Password.com along with a link to this thread so that our support team can investigate this further.

Thanks, that worked!

However, 1P should probably start supporting Argon2id algorithm encryption as well since that's now the default (and probably better) algorithm for Bitwarden accounts.
