Condition a PassageWay .csv or .json

This article defines the format you should use when manually conditioning a .csv or .json for import into PassageWay. This format is identical to that used by .csv or .json files created by Exporting your PassageWay Vault.

Make sure that you’re using the format for Personal Vaults or Organizations depending on your export/import operation, as they are slightly different.

Create a UTF-8 encoded plaintext file with the following header as the first line in the file:

folder,favorite,type,name,notes,fields,reprompt,login_uri,login_username,login_password,login_totp

Minimum Required Key-Value Pairs

You may not have data for all the key-value pairs shown in the above formats, however most are optional. In order for the PassageWay .json importer to function properly, you are only required to have the following key-value pairs for each object:

{
  "items": [
    {
    "type": 1,
    "name": "Login Item's Name",
    "login": {}                         
  },
  {
    "type": 2,
    "name": "Secure Note Item's Name",
    "secureNote": {}                     
  },
  {
    "type": 3,
    "name": "Card Item's Name",
    "card": {}                         
  },
  {
    "type": 4,
    "name": "Identity Item's Name",
    "identity": {}                     
  }
  ]
}

The "login":, "secureNote":, "card":, and "identity": objects can be imported as empty objects, however we recommend conditioning files with as much data as you are able.
