support database import from other password managers, csv
I would love to migrate from dashlane to lockbox as my primary password management too. Support for importing passwords from 3rd party tools such as 1pass, dashlane and a simple csv format would be helpful to drive adoption.
Beside import from csv, I would like an export to csv option as well
Should i open a new bug for this?
Until it is implemented you can use this tool https://github.com/louisabraham/ffpass I just tried it with a csv from bitwarden and it imported my vault flawlessly.
Import and export tools are required by the GDPR Article 20 Right to data portability.
Was about to report the same thing, An Import/Export function is much needed to get more users using other password managers to switch over or to consider or to even properly test out lockwise.
Yes, it would be nice, I was about to change to Lockwise, but wasn't able to import the passwords from my actual password manager.
Both import and export landed.

I did not test Dashlane passwords CSV file. What files does it have?
On stable you need to open devtools, search for menuitem-import and then remove the hidden=""
The reason for this is that UX really wanted a fancy import dialog and I did not have time to implement it. I believe in incrementalism, UX believes in perfection.
@andreicristianpetcu So, instead of giving us a useful feature that a lot of people needs, UX decided to not allowing us to use it because it wants a fancy dialog....... I'm sure that was ! the right move (notice the ! = not?! LOL)
I went into about:config and set signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled to true
My initial implementation had no feedback to the user. A failed import was not reported in any way. It's not just UI. It's quite important to know if a password was imported or if it had an error while a row was processed.
I think I was not clear in my previous comment that it's not just pretty UX, it's also functionality. Sorry about that.
@andreicristianpetcu Oh! In that case i must agree that UI is important. Indeed i got the idea it was just missing the "pretty lights".
That kind of alerts are definitely very important.
Is there any ETA for this?
Import form CSV has landed in Nightly and unless we find some critical bug, we intend to ship it in v86 :crossed_fingers: Please test.
Password import is on by default on all channells. It will be available with v88 in March on Beta and in April for stable.
