    I have keepass 2 on windows 11. I have a current older keepass database file. I have an updated .csv file from a firefox password export. How do I combine the two?
    I'm trying to stop using the firefox sync feature and use keepass to enter my user names/passwords.
    Thx

    Combining them is easy, sorting out the duplicates and tidying is the time consuming bit.

    KeePass has an importer for Mozilla (Firefox) CSV, but I don't know if it does passwords .
    It also has a generic CSV importer , which does do passwords.

    Create a new empty database and import the FF CSV using the Mozilla import option.
    Does it create the entries you require? If not, use the Generic CSV import option.
    Once you have worked out how to import the data, close (delete) the new database and open your real database. Import the CSV file.

    Now you can spend the time removing duplicates and tidying

    cheers, Paul

    That worked and removed duplicates on import.

    Which method did you use?

    How did you remove the duplicates?
    If it was the import, have the imported entries been merged with existing ones?
    If so, does the CSV contain a UUID field for each entry?

    cheers, Paul
