How can I migrate my data from Kaspersky Password Manager to 1Password?
Hello,
the only way to migrate from KPM seems to be export csv.
However, the data exported is not in compatible format. Someone tried this before? Any suggestions on how to convert data?
Thanks.

Can you show a sample of the CSV file, with dummy data, and explain / show the column headings?
The last time I looked at the K.P.M. export, it was a marginally formatted text file (not CSV).

Hello @ffservizio, thanks for the question! I'll be happy to help here. 👋
As far as I know, Kaspersky exports to a plaintext file format. We don't have a direct way of importing that to the app, but worry not - you should still be able to migrate this information over. And we're happy to provide advice and support on this process.
Here's how I'd suggest you approach this:
- Export from Kaspersky to the plain-text file format they use
- Download the excellent converter suite here, which was created by illustrious 1Password community member @MrC
- Use the converter to convert the original file to .CSV format. CSV is a common format that many password managers can use, so once you've got your data to this point things become much more navigable.
- Then, use these directions to import the .CSV data into your 1Password account, which will populate it into your apps. 👍
And of course, we're here if you have questions at any step in the process. I hope this provides a helpful beginning. Welcome to 1Password; we're so glad to meet you!

@MrC you are right.
KPM exports two type of data, one is -I guess- proprietary .edb file. The other is txt file, not a real csv... here an example:

That's what I suspected. I'll modify the directions above provided by @PeterG_1P , however.
Use the kaspersky converter in the converter suite. It will create a 1PIF file, and not a CSV file, however. You will need 1Password 7 to import this 1PIF file, so if you have version 8, uninstall it temporarily, install version 7, and then you can import the 1PIF. Then you may uninstall 7, reinstall 8.
You can do all of the uninstalling / reinstalling of 1Password after you have the conversion completed; that way, if there are issues you'd need me to resolve, you still have your current 1Password version working.
The README will walk you through the process. You'll ultimately see something like:
and that produced 1PIF is what you want.

Hi there, I downloaded the converter but can't find Kaspersky in the list. Even though I can see it in the folders. Am I missing something?

Just figured it out, not possible on Mac. My mistake...

Good, you found the information about the lack of an export mechanism on macOS. I believe you can export on Windows, and convert the exported file on macOS.

Hallo,
I´m not able to concert the Kaspersky export file.I did everything als descriped.
- Export TXT-File form Kaspersky Password Manager and safed it on the desktop with the name "pm_export.txt"
- Installed the MRC-Converter Suite
- Installed Strawberry Perl
- Excute following command in CMD: perl convert.pl -v Kaspersky ..\pm_export.txt
Error -> Unexpreced file format
What am I doing wrong?

@Landy66 - I too had Kaspersky and went through the same process listed in the previous comments and it worked perfectly. Answering your question in case you have not figured out, you need to type the complete address where the .txt file is at the end of the command. In your case would be (just copy and paste):
C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\mrc-converter-suite>perl convert.pl -v kaspersky C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\pm_export.txt
Once you hit Enter, you should see something like this:

Thanks for the additional feedback @mhgiraldo , and I'm glad you were able to convert your export data.
When the file is not found at the provided path, an error would be returned which would state something like:
The file '..\foo.txt' does not exist.
The path provided by the user was OK.
The error encountered by the other user indicates that the export file was missing some expected patterns at the beginning of the export file, namely Websites, Applications, or Notes. Example:
I suspect the export was either empty, or was the proprietary .edb format, but was given the

Hi @MrC , I had exactly the same problem that @Landy66
Thx to -d argument I discovered that the elements with "Other Accounts" label were making the script stop:
I finally removed these elements from txt file (only 3) and added it manually in 1PM, I remember that I put these accounts in Other category because KPM show the accounts from same url in groups and I don't like that (in my work I manage more than 30 apple accounts, 15 autodesk accounts, etc).
Thanks for your converter suite, is very helpful that you put a debug per item option. I hope to feel more confort using 1PM

That's great!
For my clarification, are you saying you created your own label different from the standard Websites, Applications, and Notes ?
If so, I wasn't aware you could do that. I could update the converter to better handle this, making it customizable for users. Please let me know if I'm understanding this correctly.
You're welcome re: the converter suite. And the
--debugoption has been invaluable for me (and users) to help diagnose issues where obviously I can't see actual data.0 -
Sorry for don't being clear, I don't added the category, maybe it was added in some update after you made this tool. The "Other Accounts" registry has these fields, I hope it help you:
Unfortunately the user can't select which elements export in KPM.
Muchas gracias amigo!0 -
Thanks again @nachootz. I've added support for Other to the converter. I had not noticed that sub-category before.

Hello, thank you firstly for creating this, it looks like a fantastic tool. Sadly it doesn't seem to work for me. I'm trying to convert the exported txt file from Kaspersky password manager. I've looked through this forum post multiple times and tried what people have suggested by giving the full location path and searching for 'other accounts' in the txt file but every time I get the same error: 'The file 'c:\Users\Pete\Desktop\pm_export.txt' does not exist.' Everything seems to have worked so far, all in admin mode for CMD too.
Any help?

My guess is that you have two file suffixes on the export file and don't realize it (as in "pm_export.txt.txt"), so the converter will not find the export file without knowing the correct name. This is why you likely see:
Right-click the export file, select Properties and select the Details tab. It should look like this:
If you have two file suffixes, you can leave them as they are, just issue the command using that filename (e.g. pm_export.txt.txt).

Well that was annoying simple to fix haha. Thank you for your response. Honestly it didn't even cross my mind that could be the issue. It all worked brilliantly and I now can escape Kaspersky's grasp!
