Import Wizard

With Password Depot, you can both import passwords from external files and export them into an external file. These functions are to be found on the Tools menu.

Supported Import Formats

The software supports following file formats for importing passwords (Tools → Import):

  • XML (Extensible Markup Language)

  • CSV (file with entries separated by comma)

  • Password Depot Format (.pswe and .pswd as well as older versions and backups)

  • TXT (text file)

HINT: To simplify the import of databases from other providers, numerous preconfigured import formats are available — for example, for LastPass or 1Password.

Import process

To launch the import wizard, you have to enter your master password first. Then, you are asked to provide the following information:

  • Import format: Format of the file you wish to import.

  • Source file: Click the button Browse... to select a source file that should be imported.

  • Target folder: In the drop-down list, select a target folder into which the passwords should be imported.

Click the Next button to continue, and then Finish to complete the process.

NOTE regarding the Enterprise Server: The Import function cannot be executed while you are connected to the server. If you would like to import passwords, please contact the administrator. They then have to open the database into which the passwords are to be imported via Password Depot Client as a local copy (via Home → Local system). Only then the Import function is available. Now import the desired passwords, save the file and finally add it back to the server or save the file directly on the server directory.

NOTE: In this dialog box, you may use the virtual keyboard for entering the master password. This function is situated in the lower left-hand corner of the dialog box.
