pass import

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:

Usage

Basic use

To import password from any supported password manager simply run:

pass import path/to/passwords

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

pass import <pm> path/to/passwords

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

pimport <new_pm> <former_pm> 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 <gpg-id>
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 <gpgid>. 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:

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:

pass import lastpass data.csv
shred -u data.csv

Encrypted file

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

pass import lastpass lastpass.csv.gpg

Mandatory Access Control (MAC)

AppArmor profiles for pass and pass-import are available in 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.

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:

---

# 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'

Set PASSWORD_STORE_EXTENSIONS_DIR to local the install path of python

Example:

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:

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:

from pass_import.managers.keepass import Keepass
from pass_import.managers.lastpass import LastpassCSV

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

    with Keepass('keepass.kdbx') as exporter:
        exporter.data = importer.data
        exporter.clean(True, True)
        for entry in exporter.data:
            exporter.insert(entry)
