**A [pass] extension for importing data from most existing password managers**



## Description



`pass import` is a password store extension allowing you to import your password database to a password store repository conveniently. It natively supports import from 62 different password managers. More manager support can easily be added.



Passwords are imported into the existing default password store, therefore the password store must have been initialized before with `pass init`.



By default, pass imports entries at the root of the password store and only keeps the main data (password, login, email, URL, group). This behaviour can be changed using the provided options.



Pass import handles duplicates and is compatible with [browserpass]. It imports OTP secret in a way that is compatible with [pass-otp].



pass-import also provides a `pimport` script that allows importing passwords to other password managers. For instance, you can import passwords from Lastpass to a Keepass database. It currently supports password export from 8 managers.



**The following password managers are supported:**

|:------------------------------:|:----------:|:----------------:|

| [csv]() | csv | `pimport csv src [src]` |

| [gopass](https://www.gopass.pw/) | gopass | `pimport gopass src [src]` |

| [keepass](https://www.keepass.info) | kdbx | `pimport keepass src [src]` |

## Usage



### Basic use

To import password from any supported password manager simply run:

```sh

pass import path/to/passwords

```



If `pass-import` is not able to detect the format, you need to provide the password manager `` you want to import data from:

```sh

pass import  path/to/passwords

```



If you want to import data to a password manager other than `pass`, run:

```sh

pimport   path/to/passwords --out path/to/destination/pm

```



### Help



```

usage: pass import [-r path] [-p path] [-k KEY] [-a] [-f] [-c] [-C] [-P] [-d] [--sep CHAR] [--del CHAR] [--cols COLS] [--filter FILTER] [--config CONFIG]

                   [-l] [-h] [-V] [-v | -q]

                   [src ...]



  Import data from most of the password manager. Passwords are imported into

  the existing default password store; therefore, the password store must have

  been initialised before with 'pass init'.



Password managers:

  src                   Path to the data to import. Can also be the password manager name followed by the path to the data to import. The password manager

                        name can be: 1password, aegis, andotp, apple-keychain, bitwarden, blur, buttercup, chrome, clipperz, csv, dashlane, encryptr,

                        enpass, firefox, fpm, freeotp+, gnome, gnome-auth, gopass, gorilla, kedpm, keepass, keepassx, keepassx2, keepassxc, keeper,

                        lastpass, myki, network-manager, nordpass, padlock, pass, passman, passpack, passpie, pwsafe, revelation, roboform, safeincloud,

                        saferpass, upm, zoho.



Common optional arguments:

  -r path, --root path  Only import the password from a specific subfolder.

  -p path, --path path  Import the passwords to a specific subfolder.

  -k KEY, --key KEY     Path to a keyfile if required by a manager.

  -a, --all             Also import all the extra data present.

  -f, --force           Overwrite existing passwords.

  -c, --clean           Make the paths more command line friendly.

  -C, --convert         Convert invalid characters present in the paths.

  -P, --pwned           Check imported passwords against haveibeenpwned.com.

  -d, --dry-run         Do not import passwords, only show what would be imported.



Extra optional arguments:

  --sep CHAR            Provide a characters of replacement for the path separator. Default: '-'

  --del CHAR            Provide an alternative CSV delimiter character. Default: ','

  --cols COLS           CSV expected columns to map columns to credential attributes. Only used by the csv importer.

  --filter FILTER       Export whole entries matching a JSONPath filter expression. Default: (none) This field can be: - a string JSONPath expression - an

                        absolute path to a file containing a JSONPath filter expression. List of supported filter: https://github.com/h2non/jsonpath-ng

                        Example: - '$.entries[*].tags[?@="Defaults"]' : Export only entries with a tag matching 'Defaults'

  --config CONFIG       Set a config file. Default: '.import'



Help related optional arguments:

  -l, --list            List the supported password managers.

  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit.

  -V, --version         Show the program version and exit.

  -v, --verbose         Set verbosity level, can be used more than once.

  -q, --quiet           Be quiet.



More information may be found in the pass-import(1) man page.

```



Usage for `pimport` can been seen with `pimport -h` or `man pimport`.



## Examples



**Import password from KeePass**

```

pass import keepass.xml

(*) Importing passwords from keepass to pass

 .  Passwords imported from: keepass.xml

 .  Passwords exported to: ~/.password-store

 .  Number of password imported: 6

 .  Passwords imported:

       Social/mastodon.social

       Social/twitter.com

       Social/news.ycombinator.com

       Servers/ovh.com/bynbyjhqjz

       Servers/ovh.com/jsdkyvbwjn

       Bank/aib

```



This is the same than: `pimport pass keepass.xml --out ~/.password-store`



**Import password to a different password store**

```

export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR="~/.mypassword-store"

pass init 

pass import keepass.kdbx

```



**Import password to a subfolder**

```

pass import bitwarden.json -p Import/

(*) Importing passwords from bitwarden to pass

 .  Passwords imported from: bitwarden.json

 .  Passwords exported to: ~/.password-store

 .  Root path: Import

 .  Number of password imported: 6

 .  Passwords imported:

      Import/Social/mastodon.social

      Import/Social/twitter.com

      Import/Social/news.ycombinator.com

      Import/Servers/ovh.com/bynbyjhqjz

      Import/Servers/ovh.com/jsdkyvbwjn

      Import/Bank/aib

```



**Other examples:**

- If the manager is not correctly detected, you can pass it at source argument:

  `pass import dashlane dashlane.csv`

- Import NetworkManager password on default dir: `pass import networkmanager`

- Import a NetworkManager INI file: `pass import nm.ini`

- Import a One password 1PIF: `pass import 1password.1pif`

- Import a One password CSV: `pass import 1password.csv`

- Import a Passman JSON file: `pass import passman.json`

- Import Lastpass file to a keepass db: `pimport keepass lastpass.csv --out keepass.kdbx`

- Import a password store to a CSV file: `pimport csv ~/.password-store --out file.csv`

- Export Bitwarden to SPHINX: pimport sphinx bitwarden.json -o sphinx.cfg



## GPG keyring



Before importing data to pass, your password-store repository must exist and your GPG keyring must be usable. In other words, you need to ensure that:

- All the public gpgids are present in the keyring.

- All the public gpgids are trusted enough (`ultimate`).

- At least one private key is present in the keyring.



Otherwise, you will get the following error:

`invalid credentials, password encryption/decryption aborted.`



To set the trust on a GPG key, one can run `gpg --edit-key `. Next type `trust` and select `5 = I trust ultimately`.



## Security consideration



**Direct import**



Passwords should not be written in plain text form on the drive. Therefore, when possible, you should import it directly from the encrypted data. For instance, with an encrypted keepass database:

```sh

pass import keepass file.kdbx

```



**Secure erasure**



Otherwise, if your password manager does not support it, you should take care of securely removing the plain text password database:

```sh

pass import lastpass data.csv

shred -u data.csv

```



**Encrypted file**



Alternatively, pass-import can decrypt gpg encrypted file before importing it. For example:

```sh

pass import lastpass lastpass.csv.gpg

```



**Mandatory Access Control (MAC)**



AppArmor profiles for `pass` and `pass-import` are available in [`apparmor.d`][apparmor.d]. If your distribution support AppArmor, you can clone the [apparmor.d] and run: `make && sudo make install pass pass-import` to only install these apparmor security profiles.



**Network**



pass-import only needs to establish network connection to support cloud based password manager. If you do not use these importers you can ensure pass-import is not using the network by removing the `network` rules in the apparmor profile of pass-import.



**Password Update**



You might also want to update the passwords imported using [`pass-update`][update].



## Configuration file



Some configurations can be read from a configuration file called `.import` if it is present at the root of the password repository. The configuration read from this file will be overwritten by their corresponding command-line option if present.



Example of the `.import` configuration file for the default password repository in `~/.password-store/.import`:

```yaml

---



# Separator string

separator: '-'



# The list of string that should be replaced by other string. Only activated

# if the `clean` option is enabled.

cleans:

  ' ': '-'

  '&': 'and'

  '@': At

  "'": ''

  '[': ''

  ']': ''



# The list of protocols. To be removed from the title.

protocols:

  - http://

  - https://



# The list of invalid characters. Replaced by the separator.

invalids:

  - '<'

  - '>'

  - ':'

  - '"'

  - '/'

  - '\\'

  - '|'

  - '?'

  - '*'

  - '\0'

```

**Local install**



Alternatively, from git or from a stable version you can do a local install with:

```sh

cd pass-import

python3 setup.py install --user

```



> [!IMPORTANT]  

> For local install you need to:

>

>  1. Set `PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS` to `true` for the local extension to be enabled.

>  2. Set `PASSWORD_STORE_EXTENSIONS_DIR` to local the install path of python

>

>  Example:

>  ```sh

>  export PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=true

>  export PASSWORD_STORE_EXTENSIONS_DIR="$(python -m site --user-site)/usr/lib/password-store/extensions/"

>  ```



## The import Library



One can use pass-import as a python library. Simply import the classes of the password manager you want to import and export. Then use them in a context manager. For instance, to import password from a cvs Lastpass exported file to password-store:



```python

from pass_import.managers.lastpass import LastpassCSV

from pass_import.managers.passwordstore import PasswordStore



with LastpassCSV('lastpass-export.csv') as importer:

    importer.parse()



    with PasswordStore('~/.password-store') as exporter:

        exporter.data = importer.data

        exporter.clean(True, True)

        for entry in exporter.data:

            exporter.insert(entry)

```



Alternatively, you can import the same Lastpass file to a Keepass database:



```python

from pass_import.managers.keepass import Keepass
