Import database fro the Wallet 3.3.1 application

Stevedue

I want to begin to use your application, but I don't want to start from zero.
I've my database of password stored on the application Wallet but the file .csv create from this application result in a mass of garbage when I try to import it on 1Password.
There is an easy way to do this?

I'm Italian, hope you understand my poor english

@Stevedue,

What is the exact name of your password manager? Or maybe reply with a link to the vendor's product.

Hi @Stevedue,

I don't have great news for you. Please see my post here regarding Acrylic Wallet's export.

What you would need to do is export your data to CSV, and manipulate it in a spreadsheet to meet the requirements specified in Advanced import: creating CSV files.

Hey @Stevedue! Just wanted to hop in here and see how everything is going. MrC is the import wizard of 1Password, so I'm sure he'll be able to answer your questions. :) Give us a shout if you need anything, though.

Stevedue

@MrC Thanks for your help.
I read "Advanced import: creating CSV files." but that are behind my capacity.
Then reluctantly I continue to use my old Wallet.

@Stevedue,

If you can use a spreadsheet, you can do the export, manipulation, and import. But unfortunately your current password manager does not export its data in a way that makes automated conversion possible. You are in essence trapped, and without some work, will remain trapped from within.

Some unsolicited advice - when you select and employ a password manager, consider at least these two important features: 1) the level of security of the product and the expertise of the team building it, and 2) the ability for you get your important data out of the product in a meaningful and useful way.

1Password meets those requirements. You can always export your complete password data in a fully readable, fully described manner, and so are never trapped.

I'm happy to help you construct your CSV - just ask if you need more help.

@MrC
Is for the reason you say about 1Password, that I will want to change my password manager.
But I do not want to re-enter my more than 300 records.

@Stevedue - I didn't want to reenter all my data when I moved to 1Password either, but I did so. It was tedious, but I thought it was well worth the effort. Obviously, you have to decide for yourself.

MrC

@Stevedue,

You don't have to reenter all of them manually. What you have to do is export them, and this will create a CSV file. This file can then be open in a spreadsheet like Numbers or Libre Office's Calc, or Excel. Then, you'll have to do two things:

1. Separate out the different record types. The easiest way to do this is to duplicate that export file a few times, name each of them Logins.csv, Credit Cards.csv, Software.csv, and Notes.csv.

2. Edit each of those files, and remove all of the items that do not belong in that file (i.e. leave login entries in the Logins.csv file, leave credit card entries in the Credit Cards.csv file, etc.), and rearrange the columns according to the document I linked above.

Now, you can use the CSV import in 1Password to import your data, one file at a time.

You can start by doing just the Logins for now, since this is likely to be the bulk of your records - see how it works for you.
