KeePass 2 not supporting Dashlane CSV

[Jeff Smith]

I have KeePass 2.46 and want to import passwords from Dashlane. I exported from Dashlane to a CSV file. Everything claims that KeePass 2 supports import from Dashlane csv but it simply does not.
It puts both username and password as lines of the note. Obviously the password is not hidden for anyone seeing my screen, not to mention no Auto Type would work.

It is possible the Dashlane CSV export has changed since the KeePass importer was written.
Can you post a sample of the CSV file so we can confirm the format?

cheers, Paul

[Jeff Smith]

I hope this helps, a sample attached. I tried to make this look like the variety of things I have in my real csv, but not real (names, emails, acct num, passwords, hashes are randomized)

[Jeff Smith]

but wouldn't it be more reliable to import from Dashlane's json export since it has clear labeling of what is what?

[Dominik Reichl]

The Dashlane CSV format indeed has changed. It is incompatible with the previous format, and I don't see any way how KeePass could determine whether the new or the old format is used.

As Dashlane can now export JSON files, I've created an import module for these.

Here's the latest development snapshot for testing:

Thanks and best regards,

Thanks Dominik but are you sure that's latest? It doesn't run after I patched ver 2.46 (corrected, not 4.26) but I notice if that number is the date then it is Sep 2010... we are in 2020 now
*now solved, see new post

[Jeff Smith]

OK I solved it and the development patch seems to import Dashlane JSON pretty good. I'm not sure how but eventually I saw that KeePass was running as a process (it did not show up in task manager when I was trying to start it before), so I found there was a tray icon. That could not do anything because everything gray except "Tray/Untray" which also did nothing. So I killed the task and after that the KeePass started and the Import seems to work.
Perhaps I thought keepass was closed when I coppied the patch files but it was still running in the tray and I was not familiar that you have to exit it in the tray.

Thanks, this really helps me feel free not to renew Dashlane since it cost so much and I constantly have problems that they deny is their problem.
I like being integrated with everything, but even if I can't get KeePass or derivatives to enter everything automatically, the most important is knowing every password is in a safe place.
