Import Guide

Claspt can import credentials from popular password managers, CSV files, markdown files, and Claspt’s own JSON export format. Each import creates pages with your existing data converted to Claspt’s markdown + secret block format.

Supported Formats

Source	Export Format	Notes
1Password	CSV export	Logins, secure notes, credit cards
LastPass	CSV export	Logins, secure notes
KeePass	XML export	All entry types (KeePass 2.x format)
Bitwarden	CSV export	Use the Generic CSV importer
RoboForm	CSV export	Logins
Claspt JSON	JSON export	Re-import previously exported secrets
Generic CSV	CSV	Custom column mapping for any CSV file
Markdown	.md files	Import individual markdown pages

How to Import

1. Export your data from the source application (see format-specific instructions below).
2. In Claspt, go to Settings → click Import (or use the import button in the sidebar toolbar).
3. Select the source format and choose the export file.
4. Preview — Claspt shows you exactly what will be imported before committing.
5. Choose a target folder (or create a new one).
6. Click Import.

Duplicate Handling

When importing, Claspt detects entries that match existing pages (by title and folder) and offers three strategies:

Strategy	Behavior
Skip (default)	Don’t import duplicates
Overwrite	Replace existing page content with imported version
Import as New	Create with ” (2)” suffix on the title

Importing from Claspt JSON

If you’ve previously exported your secrets using Settings → Export → Secrets Only (JSON), you can re-import them:

1. Select Claspt JSON as the format.
2. Choose your .json export file.
3. Structured fields (URL, Username, Password) are preserved as-is.
4. Multiple secrets from the same page are grouped into a single import entry.

This is useful for migrating secrets between vaults or restoring from a backup.

Export from 1Password

1. Open 1Password → File → Export → All Items.
2. Choose CSV format.
3. Authenticate when prompted.
4. Save the file and import into Claspt.

Export from LastPass

1. Go to LastPass → Advanced Options → Export.
2. Download the CSV file.
3. Import into Claspt.

Export from KeePass

1. Open KeePass → File → Export.
2. Choose KeePass XML 2.x.
3. Save and import into Claspt.

Export from Bitwarden

1. Go to Bitwarden → Tools → Export Vault.
2. Choose CSV format (not encrypted JSON).
3. In Claspt, select Generic CSV as the format.
4. Claspt will auto-detect columns (title, username, password, URL, notes).

Generic CSV Import

For any CSV file not from a recognized format:

1. Select Generic CSV as the format.
2. Claspt reads the column headers and shows a mapping interface.
3. Assign each column a role: Title, Username, Password, URL, Notes, Folder, or Skip.
4. Preview and import.

Markdown Import

To import a single .md file:

1. Click the import button and select Markdown.
2. Choose the .md file.
3. Claspt extracts the title from the first heading or filename.
4. If the file contains :::secret blocks, they’re encrypted on import.
5. Choose the target folder and import.

Caution

After importing, securely delete the exported CSV/XML/JSON file. It contains your passwords in plaintext.

Tip

Use the Preview step to verify the import looks correct before committing. You can see exactly how many entries will be created and what they’ll contain.
