STEP 1
Export Bitwarden Vault
In Bitwarden Web Vault → Tools → Export Vault → Choose `.json` or `.csv`.
STEP 2
Decrypt In-RAM Only
Drop into AuricPass. The file is parsed strictly in volatile memory. Never touches a remote backend.
STEP 3
Retire Server Maintenance
Shut down your self-hosted instance and save on server bills. Your encrypted vault syncs via Google Drive BYOS. See Multi-Device Sync Protocol →
