Switch to Obskura from Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass and others

Changing password manager doesn't mean copying everything by hand. Obskura connects directly to your old service, downloads the encrypted vault and decrypts it on your computer: no plain-text export file.

Direct import from online services

Obskura can connect to these services:

• Bitwarden: direct sign-in, including bitwarden.eu and self-hosted servers (Vaultwarden), or with your personal API key;
• LastPass: direct sign-in, with two-step verification;
• 1Password: through the 1Password CLI (op);
• Proton Pass: through the Proton Pass CLI (pass-cli);
• Dashlane: through the Dashlane CLI (dcli), after a first dcli sync;
• Keeper: through Keeper Commander (keeper).

The credentials of your old service are only used for that sign-in and are not stored.

How to do it

1. Create or open the Obskura database you want to import into.
2. From the ⋯ menu choose Import from an online manager (Bitwarden, 1Password, …)…
3. Choose the service and sign in; if you use two-step verification Obskura asks for the code.
4. Check the preview: number of entries, folders and examples.
5. Decide whether to recreate folders as groups and whether to skip entries that already exist, then press Import.

Folders, custom fields, TOTP codes, cards and notes are preserved.

From KeePass, KeePassXC and browsers (CSV)

Other programs, such as Google, Apple, Edge or NordPass, don't allow access from other apps: in that case you go through a CSV file.

1. Export to CSV from the source program: in KeePass 2 File → Export → KeePass CSV (1.x), in KeePassXC Database → Export → CSV File; Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Bitwarden and 1Password have export in their settings.
2. In Obskura open the database and choose ⋯ → Import from CSV (KeePass, …)…
3. Obskura recognizes the format and columns and shows a preview; press Import.

Groups, tags, TOTP codes, creation dates and expiry dates are preserved, and unknown columns become custom fields. Importing the same file again creates no duplicates.

After importing

• Delete the CSV file right away: it contains all your passwords in plain text. Empty the trash too.
• Keep your old account for a few more days, check that nothing is missing, then close it.
• Turn on automatic backup of the new database to a second destination.
