Keepass: bulk-import of the data: methods and ways

Lounge Hello
1

good day dear linux-friends,

today i just installed keepass with the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu keepassxc

well now i want to get started with KeePass, I think that the very first of all steps i need to go is to create a new database by going to

File > New and selecting a secure location to save it.

Next, i guess i ll have to set a strong master password to protect the database.

…now its time to add new logins, (therefore ill need to)

go to Edit > Add Entry, add the allready existing data: use the copy/paste, drag-and-drop functions, or the autotype feature.

note: i have a bunch of data: approx 100 pairs of

username / passwd - and the according page:

the dataset:

user, passwd, login-page,

is there a option to bulk import the data!?

can we do this!?

keepassxc has an import option in the database menu.

What data are you trying to import? Are you trying to import from another password manager?

good day dear MyNameIsRichard and homelab_hacker

many thanks for the reply - great to hear from you..

MyNameIsRichard - many thanks

keepassxc has an import option in the database menu.

very good. Btw - my import format for KeePass is a CSV file - taken form a export of FireFox.
Can it be customized using the “Generic CSV Importer” tool.

homelab_hacker - thank you.

What data are you trying to import? Are you trying to import from another password manager?

no - i want to import the data that i have saved in the “password-saving”-section of the FireFox.

i have - the following fields - username , passwd , URL (for the site and login)

note: i just have installed the Keepass today - tomorrow i am going to start with the import of the data:

some assumptions: i guess that the process: in the KeePass, go to File > Import and select Generic CSV Importer. here i hope, that i can select the file - the prepared CSV file.

the question: can i subsequently can map the count of the columns and the whole set of the columns: Is the importer able to analyze the CSV set of data that i have (derived from my FireFox-Data-Formate) - and besides that allows me to manually map columns to the correct KeePass fields,

it would be great if i would be able to configure the settings: so that this fits for my import with the following fields - username , passwd , URL (for the site and login)

note: i have approx 120 records - that are 120 lines of the above formate.
it would be great if i could import the dataset - out of a

a. csv-formate or
b. calc-formate (in a txt.-file)

well hopefully i could add this file - and do not have to add each line manually… :hugs:

…look forward to hear from you :grinning_face:

Here click ‘Datenbank’ → ‘Import’ → then you see an option for .csv
Adjust then as you need…
