Buttercup Vault Importer

Import vaults from other password managers

About

This vault importer coverts password vaults from other formats to the Buttercup vault format (BCUP).

Usage

This library is not intended to be used as a standalone application. Its functionality is available via the Buttercup Desktop applications.

You can of course use the importer in your own projects, by importing the individual importers.

Eg.

const { KDBXImporter } = require("@buttercup/importer");

KDBXImporter.loadFromFile("...");

LastPass

Lastpass credentials can be exported as CSV files, which can be imported using Buttercup importer.

Bitwarden credentials can be exported as JSON files, which can be imported using Buttercup importer.

Imported bitwarden archives contain the username, password, the first url associated with the item, notes and any custom fields. Attachments are not currently supported.

Buttercup vaults can be imported using the ButtercupImporter.

Importing from Buttercup exports

Exported Buttercup vaults can be re-imported into a new Vault. Take the exported CSV file and import that in Buttercup Desktop.
