Import Your Logins into the Vauz 2 Beta

Import your logins into the Vauz 2 beta

What the beta can import

  • Files exported from Vauz 2: JSON, CSV or TXT, or an encrypted .vauz file
  • CXF files, the Credential Exchange Format some password managers can export
⚠️

The beta can't import a file exported from Vauz 1.x yet, or the CSV files other password managers and browsers export. For an encrypted file from Vauz 1.x, Vauz says Exported by a Vauz this version can't read. For the others it says Vauz can't read this file: it isn't a Vauz export

Import your files

Open Import / Export

Choose the Import / Export button, the icon in the bottom left of the Vauz window, then Import

Add your files

Drop them on Drop password files here, or choose Choose files. You can add several at once

Unlock an encrypted file

An encrypted file needs the password it was exported with. Vauz tries the one you enter on every locked file. For a file with a different password, use the key button on that file

Choose Import

The button says how many entries will go in, for example Import 12 entries

What wasn't imported

If Vauz couldn't import some entries, it shows how many it imported and lists the ones it didn't, with the reason:

  • Already in Vauz: the same entry is already in your vault
  • Too long for Vauz: a field is longer than Vauz keeps
  • Rows Vauz couldn't read
  • Nothing to import: the file or row is empty
  • Files that weren't imported: a file Vauz can't read, with the reason beside it

Copy list copies it, to fix those entries by hand
