[PM-30106] Password Protected Export can't be imported #6293
Description
Steps To Reproduce
- Android app: Go to Settings --> Vault --> Export
- Export your personal vault (!) as a password protected JSON.
- Go to (e.g.) the web vault and try to import it (as Bitwarden JSON) and into "My vault".
I don't know if this matters for reproduction or not, but I tried to import into a folder.
Expected Result
The export gets imported successfully.
Actual Result
Though the passwords should be identical (I tested it several times and there shouldn't be any typos involved), I get an import error:

Additional Context
This (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/1pt0kf7/error_when_trying_to_import_encrypted_json_file/) report on Reddit made me test it myself, so it's not only one person experiencing this as it seems.
PS: And I reported this in the Android section now, as I would (primarily) think that the Android app seems to have some kind of an exporting-bug. - But of course, it could also be, that the web vault has an importing-bug here... Or both...
PPS: The file password is a passphrase that also contains special characters, but nothing too "fancy". As I tested it with my own vault data, I didn't want to test for now if it would work with a modified password e.g. only consisting of letters.

Issue Tracking Info
- I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
