Importing CSV files

Date: 2025/08/19

Overview

Cloakasium can import password data directly with an exported CSV file from LastPass, 1Password, Keeper, BitWarden, and DataVault. However, you may want to transfer password data from a password manager app not included in the list or from a spreadsheet directly into Cloakasium. Selecting Cloakasium as the import source allows you to import a CSV file with a simple format.

Example File

An example file compatible with the Cloakasium CSV format is shown below. It consists of 5 columns, has no header, and all fields are strings.

CSV File Format Details

The first column is the name of the group. In this example, there are two groups: Personal, Work. Group entries occur only once, at the start of the group. Group name must be unique within the file.

The second column is the name of the category. In this example, there are a total of five categories: three categories for the Personal group and two categories for the Work group. Category names must be unique within a group.

The third column is the name of the item. In this example, there are a total of 17 items. Item names must be unique with a category.

The fourth column is the name of the record label. Typically, this would be ‘Username’ or ‘Password’. The number of records for an item is not limited. One record label name is reserved regardless of app localization: Notes. If a record contains Notes for an Item, the corresponding record value will be assigned to the Notes section.

The fifth column is the name of the record value. This field contains the actual password, sensitive data strings, or notes. The number of records for an item is not limited.

Tips

Group, category, and item names are not repeated on each row, only when the group, category or item changes.

All entries are imported as text strings.

The Cloakasium CSV import works with all the supported Cloakasium localizations and languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
