Import Wizard - CSV File Import

On this page of the wizard, you configure the parameters for importing a CSV file and map the columns of the CSV file to fields in Password Depot.

If the source file was created with the same version of Password Depot, you can usually keep the mappings suggested by the wizard. If the CSV file was created with a different version or by a third‑party application, you should carefully review the column mappings and adjust them if necessary.

First line contains field names: Enable this option if the first row of your CSV file contains column headers (e.g. Description, User name, Password, etc.). The first row will then not be imported as a data record but used only to display the column names.

Delimiter: The character used in the CSV file to separate individual fields. Typically this is ;, , or another defined character.

Text qualifier: The symbol used to enclose text values (e.g. full sentences). In most cases this is a double quote (").

Column mapping

In the central area you see a table with three columns:

  • #
    Sequential numbering of the columns from the CSV file.

  • CSV Column
    Displays the column header or detected field name from the CSV file, e.g. Description, Importance, Password, Modified, Valid until, User name, URL, Notes, Category, Tags, Author, Sequence or UUID.

  • PD Attribute/Field
    In this column you define to which Password Depot field the respective CSV column should be mapped. Click in a cell to open the drop‑down menu and select the desired target field.
    The following options are available: the standard fields (e.g. Description, User name, Password, URL, etc.) as well as:

    • Custom Field – maps the CSV column to a custom field.

    • Entry Path – uses the column to specify the entry path within the database structure.

Clear assignments: Resets all previously defined column mappings so that you can reconfigure the mapping of CSV columns to Password Depot fields from scratch.

After you have reviewed and adjusted all mappings, click Next to continue the import.
