KeePassX Converter for 1Password 4

MrC

I've created a script to convert your KeePassX data into a format that can be imported by 1Password 4.

Edit: this version of the converter has been obsoleted. The new and improved version is located here:

Hi @MrC,

Very use tool, thanks so much for working hard on this!

Arudmin

It doesnt work for me (KeepassX 0.4.3) so I wrote script.

Please check it: https://gist.github.com/arudmin/52aec759a8c5d7543e36

MrC

Can you tell me what failed for you? I tested it multiple times.

Your python script using XPath is nice. I'm converting mine to use XPath as well.

Hi, thnx for your tool.
I followed the instructions.
I encounter the following message:

Can't locate Text/CSV.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/5.16/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.16 /Network/Library/Perl/5.16/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.16 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.16.2 /System/Library/Perl/5.16/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.16 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.16/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.16 .) at keepassx_to_1p4.pl line 14.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at keepassx_to_1p4.pl line 14.

I use KeepassX 0.4.3 and 1password4 version 4.4.1
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

MrC

Hi rheida

The error you are seeing would occur if you had moved the keepassx_to_1p4.pl file to your Desktop, but not the Text folder that was in the archive. If you downloaded with Safari, Safari would have de-archived the zip file automatically, so you probably didn't notice the Text folder that was created. Make sure that Text folder sits along side the keepassx_to_1p4.pl file, and then you can re-run the script.

*Technically it doesn't matter where the Text folder resides, but the script needs to know where to find it, and instruction-ally, it is easier to advise that users just keep the .pl file and the Text folder in a single location.

Hi MrC,
Ahh, that did the trick! Thnx!

Hey MrC,

I followed the instructions and I got a response of "No entries detected". I exported the XML file from KeePass 2.26 on a Windows machine and I'm trying to import into 1Password4 on my Mac.

I've checked that the XML file is named correctly and populated - 16,005 lines.

Here's the clip from terminal:
Macintosh-3:~ ericmiller$ cd Desktop/keepassx_to_1p4
Macintosh-3:keepassx_to_1p4 ericmiller$ perl keepassx_to_1p4.pl ~/Desktop/keepassx_export.xml
No entries detected

Any thoughts on what might be going on?

Much appreciated!
Eric

Hi Eric,

This converter thread (and its accompanying download) is for KeePassX, not KeePass2. I did create a converter for KeePass2 and it is over here:

https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/24909/keepass2-converter-for-1password-4

Go ahead and give that one a try.

Hi Mr.C

Hope this thread is still current.

I'm using KeePassX 0.4.3 and 1Password Version 4.4.1 (441006) Mac App Store.

I am able to generate the 1P4_import.csv, and it is appropriately placed on the desktop and appears to be correctly populated. However, import under 1Password shows 0 items imported/0 items found.

The format I'm seeing in the CSV is as follows:

"Name of Password",,username,password,"Group: GroupName
bin: AA==
lastaccess: 2009-10-30T11:53:56
lastmod: 2010-06-03T08:12:39
creation: 2008-03-20T18:32:19
expire: Never"

Does all this look correct, and have the scripts been tested with 4.4.1?

MrC

I have a much better version for you to try. I've changed all my converters to be contained in a single package and the CSV export format is deprecated, and instead 1Password's 1PIF format is generated. Would you like to try it out?

Ferret

Yes please!

MrC

Ok, great.

I've uploaded the zip file to my _testing folder in my AgileBits Utilities folder. The file you want is convert_to_1p4.zip. Download, extract and run using similar instructions as to what is in the current ReadMe file (this zip doesn't yet contain the updated documentation).

The script runs like this:

perl convert_to_1p4.pl keepassx ~/Desktop/keepassx_export.xml  -v

Note that it is the script's first argument (keepassx) that tells the script what converter module to use. It will create a 1P4_import.1pif file for you on the Desktop, which you import into 1Password. I suggest you make a Backup first of your 1Password database (File > Backup). If you are importing into an existing vault, you might want to create a test vault and see how the data is added to that vault. You can move those items into the main vault when you are satisfied

Let me know how it works!

Ferret

As far as I can tell, that worked beautifully. Thanks MrC!

Are there any logs or outputs I can send that would be helpful to you?

MrC

If you get nothing but output like:

Imported 7 cards
Exported 2 note items
Exported 5 login items
Exported 7 total items

then we're good. Good to hear of your success!

Ferret

That is indeed what I got.

Thanks again!

MrC
