vivaldi password export to keepass tutorial

Vivaldi's password function is very easy to use, automatically generating strong passwords, recording passwords, cloud synchronization, and filling passwords.
However, I still use firefox, which means that I need to use an intermediary to manage my password generation, logging, and filling in both browsers.

Vivaldi's csv password format will be wrong when it is directly imported to keeppass. The reason is that the password format of vitaldi and the format of keeppass are semantically different.

| name | url | username | password |

vivaldi's password format

If imported into keeppass according to the csv format of vivodi, the two columns of the name field will be combined into one column. The consequence is that the data is confusing and meaningless.

The solution is to replace the semantics when the keeppass is imported.

This is the settings page imported to keeppass. Here we can see the csv format parsed by keeppass. We want to create a new "title" field and replace "name".

This is the correct result, ensuring that the format names are independent and distinguished by type.

@poto Thanks for making a guide on this

However, not completely sure why it's needed - after all, the Vivaldi password export is a Chrome-format CSV file, and Keepass supports import from Chrome CSV. I do it regularly myself and it works fine out of the box:

The big problem is that Keepass lacks an export into the same format, so I can't (easily) export a backup to import back into Vivaldi (should I ever need to). But the standard Keepass 1.x CVS export works with a bit of command-line cut and sed - or just importing the CSV into a spreadsheet and rearranging the columns works as well.

It would be good in to add in the guide that to access the CSV importer in your example you need to choose "Generic CSV Importer" from the Import menu.
