Importing from Password Safe?

[Iain Cheyne]

I use Password Safe, which does not seem to export into a format that
I can import into Clipperz.

http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/

Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can do it easily?

Thanks,

Iain

I have in the past imported to KeePass from PasswordSafe, but as I am
having a different issue with trying to get the built-in KeePass
importing working, I don't know if that would work much better.

What export options do you have available currently in PasswordSafe?
At a minimum you should be able to export to CSV:

file

Alternatively, there might be an option to just export or convert to
an excel format, which I might do if I can't get KeePass importing to
work.

Thanks for that.

I tried Password Safe's CSV export with Clipperz's import process but
it didn't work. It got an error message and failed. Maybe I'll try to
smarten up the CSV before I import.

There's an XML export, which would be the best in an ideal world, but
Clipperz doesn't handle it.

I tried importing from Passwordsafe's CSV format again. It kept
failing with a doublequotes error message.

I tried that too, with issues...

What I did get working was Excel. It was yet another step in the
process, but it was easy going from Excel forward.

1. Export from PasswordSafe to CSV
2. Open that CSV file in Excel
3. Select all of the columns you want to import
4. Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C, depending on OS) to copy
5. Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V) to paste into the Excel import window.

At the end of the day, there were many options, but I found one that
did work eventually. The nice thing is that I had options at all.
The unfortunate thing was that Excel was my third and last option I
was going to do before giving up.

Keep at it, you'll get there.

Hello Klauer,

the issue with CSV data is that it is supposed to be "standard", but
there are a lot of alternative options you can mess with.

It would be nice to handle all the different options automagically and
hide the many options from the interface, but I wouldn't know how to
reliably do it.

One option I could try to implement, is to provide the different
options not in the step BEFORE the preview of the data, but right on
the preview step, so that you could have immediate feedback on the
consequences of the different choices.

Thanks for the feedback.

Regards,

Giulio Cesare

Thanks Klauer.

That worked for me too! :o)

I had to mess around with it a bit, as I store a lot of information in
the Notes field with line breaks. I got around this by doing a find
and replace on the line-break characters with Alt+010.

Thanks for your advice. I am going to donate to Clipperz now.
