If you encounter any issues during the migration process, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem. First, ensure that the first row of your CSV file contains a header with three columns: URL, username, and password. Additionally, make sure that each row contains a value in the URL and password columns.

Migrating to Bitwarden Authenticator TOTP is a relatively straightforward process that can help you switch away from Authy and towards a more secure 2FA solution. By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth transition and enjoy the benefits of Bitwarden's advanced security features.
