3 years ago1Password 8: Import or open .PIF file
I am considering moving from Bitwarden to 1Password 8. I installed 1Password 8. I also found the converter suite and exported my Bitwarden vault to a .PIF file. However, the option to open or import ...

3 years agoMrC,
I ended up successfully migrating several hundred software licenses. A very important recommendation was to convert the CSV file to a PIF file using the Perl tool. This also solved the localization problem.
Since it may be helpful to others, I will briefly describe my workflow:
- I exported the software licenses from Bitwarden into a CSV file.
- I opened the CSV file with Apple Numbers. As Bitwarden does not have a software license category, all licenses were exported with the type "note". As I had all licenses in a folder, I could easily select them. However, all user-defined fields have been combined into one field named "fields".
- I split the contents of "fields" into individual fields. This is an example of the formula I used to extract the version information: IFERROR(REGEX.EXTRACT(E2,"(Version: )(.*)$",1,2),"").
- I copied the table to a new table (Edit > Paste Formula Results) and fixed some entries manually.
- I removed the columns I did not need anymore, such as "fields" and changed the column labels to match the list given in the readme.html.
- I exported the table to a new CSV file.
- I ran the Perl script. Two comments: The argument "--sepchar" mentioned in the readme.html is obviously not supported anymore, and it is obviously also not required. The Apple Numbers CSV export format uses ";" as the delimiter. However, the argument "--sepchar ;" was not required. The Perl script still worked beautifully. Moreover, the date format has to be yyyy-mm-dd, not mm/yyyy or mmyyyy as mentioned in the readme.html.
- I finally imported the generated PIF file into 1Password.
- Done :-)
Again, many thanks to everybody for supporting me!
