Importing CSV?

Hi,



I did some googling and searched the forum and the other documentation but didn't find any articles on using the import function in 1Password. Specifically I have a large CSV export from SafePlace that needs to come into 1Password. I'd like to understand the mechanism under the import so I can get this right. I have 280 records in about 6 categories.



Thanks for your help with this.

    Craig, there is a limited support for CSV import available in 1Password. Please select File > Import, choose "CSV or Delimited Text" and follow the instructions.

    Thanks for the quick reply Roustem. I had explored the Import function some. I was curious about how you treat information in the notes fields. If I assign, lets say 2 fields from my tab separated file to a single notes field in the target will they overwrite each other or will they merge? If I can get all the info into 1Password I can spend some time in the import folder munging the data into sane places. It also seems that although I can specify a stating record number, I don't seem able to limit where the import stops. Would you recommend I split the file into discrete files by category, and import them separately?



    Thanks for your insight,

    Currently, 1Password can only import Logins and Secure Notes -- if you can split the items in these two categories that would help.



    I would just do a test run and see how it works, you can easily delete the imported items.
