How can I import data from Bitdefender password Mgr (not bitdefender wallet)

@Dstardrifty Welcome to the forum!

Please follow these instructions to export your Bitdefender password manager data in the form of a CSV file.

Next, open the CSV file using a text editor app (e.g., Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on macOS), copy the first line of text only, and paste it into your response here. The first line of text in the file should contain only column titles, none of your vault data.

In addition, after closing the text editor, re-open the CSV file using a spreadsheet app (e.g., Excel), and examine the file contents. If any of the columns are empty (but for the column title), please indicate this in your response. For the other columns, please provide a brief description of what type of data is contained in each column (unless it is obvious based on the column title).

After I see the column titles that were produced by the Bitdefender export tool, I can provide further instructions for how to complete the “conditioning” process that is required for importing into Bitwarden.

Greetings.
I’m doing the same transfer from Bitdefender Password manager to bitWarden. if you could head me in right direction as well, that would be greatly appreciated

My notepad column titles

“modelType”,“modelVersion”,“title”,“url”,“username”,“password”,“notes”,“favorite”,“totpKey”,“firstName”,“lastName”,“country”,“zip”,“city”,“street”,“street2”,“company”,“county”,“region”,“email”,“phoneNumber”,“text”,“color”

And within Excel, from ‘‘totpKey’’ onwards was empty.

Not sure if this is worth noting, but column named’‘title’’ was about 50% empty. And in ‘‘modelType’’ majority where named accounts, then there was 3 named ‘identity’ and 2 named ‘note’

Thanks

@AshleyDiVa Welcome to the forum!

Start by creating copy of your .CSV file, and opening it in a spreadsheet app (e.g., Excel). Delete the 3 rows that have identity in the “modelType” column (it is not possible to import these from a .CSV file), and delete all columns from “firstName” to “color”; also delete the “modelVersion” column.

Make the following changes to the remaining columns:

  • Change the column header modelType to type (all lowercase).
  • Change the column header title to name (all lowercase).
  • Change the column header url to login_uri (all lowercase — and please note that the last letter is an i, not a lowercase L).
  • Change the column header username to login_username (all lowercase).
  • Change the column header password to login_password (all lowercase).
  • Change the column header totpKey to login_totp (all lowercase).

Now, make sure that the “name” column contains some name or title that you can use to identify each item. It wasn’t clear from your description, but it seemed like you were saying that there were values for “named accounts” in the “modelType” column (now renamed to “type”). If there are account names in the “type” column, then move them over to the “name” column.

After doing the above, make sure that the value in the “type” column is note for the 2 notes, set the value to login for everything else.

Finally, if there is anything in the “favorite” column, make sure that the value is set to 1 for any item that is a favorite, and 0 for anything else.

Save the modified .CSV file, and import it into your Bitwarden account using the “Bitwarden (csv)” format. if you already have other items in your Bitwarden account, then you may want to use the option to import everything into a folder (so that you can delete the contents of the folder if it looks like the import didn’t work as expected).

Thanks
— BY this do you mean. In the type column, write ‘note’ in rows 2 & 3, then ‘login’ in the remaining rows?

You had said above that in the “‘modelType’” column (now renamed to “type”), there were “3 named ‘identity’ and 2 named ‘note’”. So the for the 2 items that already have the word “note” in the “type” column, leave those as is. The 3 rows that had the word “identity” in the “type” column should be deleted. For all other rows, the “type” column should contain the word “login” (lowercase, without quotation marks).

Thanks. All imported, good to go.
