Unable to import passwords from CSV when created by Firefox

rikeshar

Passwords are not being imported from CSV file when generated from Firefox. A box pops up saying 0 have been imported. I was able to import from a Safari-generated CSV just fine, and when going to File -> Import From -> Google Chrome, the passwords imported fine.

When trying to import by either method from Firefox though, no passwords are imported, even though they're all there in the CSV.

Steps to reproduce:
Export passwords as CSV from Firefox. Import the resulting file into Orion

Expected behavior:
Passwords should be added

Version 0.99.121.1-beta, MacBook Pro MacOS 12.6

rikeshar Can you try reducing the file to just one password or trying to figure out what line in your pwd file is breaking it?

rikeshar

Removing the CSV file down to just one password did not work.

The format of what information is included is different with Firefox than it is with Safari, and this might be part of the issue? I was unable to export the Chrome passwords into a CSV, so I couldn't check theirs.

Vlad

rikeshar Yes we only support, Safari passwords file format. For firefox you should just use the native importer and select password?

rikeshar

Vlad Yeah, that doesn't work either.

rikeshar Works fine on my end. It cna be a specifically formatted entry..

since you have passwords backed up in firefox, can you remove passowrds to deduct which one is causing an issue.. remove all passwords from firefox; import only half from html (by making a copy of html and cutting it in half). then import to orion

until you cna identify which password makes orion glitch

then we can fix the problem

You know, it's doing the same thing with CSV files exported from LastPass. It'll load the file and just say 0 passwords imported, so it's not just the Firefox export.

For what it's worth, I went to File -> Import From -> LastPass and followed the instructions there

my guess is that a certain site/password is breaking it. help us find which one.

import only half password from html (by making a copy of html and cutting it in half). then import to orion and repeat until it works

until you cna identify which password makes orion glitch

then we can fix the problem

This format works

Title,URL,Username,Password,OTPAuth
Mi5,https://www.mi5.com,bond,007,

You probably either have to do some regular expressions or Excel functions to get your CSV to match. The url has to have the protocol - it says it imports it without but actually doesn't

not working for chrome password csv either. format is:

name,url,username,password,note
x.com,https://x.com/i/flow/login,username,password,

update:

i was able to fix my google generated password csv file by simply replacing name,url,username,password,note at the top of the csv file with Title,URL,Username,Password,OTPAuth

hope this helps

I was able to get my Firefox passwords to import by modifying the Firefox CSV with Excel into this format.
