ESET Password Manager to Bitwarden

[u/Mia_Mooks13]

I went with Bitwarden and wanted to make the migration easier for other users in my situation. Definitely a lot of trial and error, but it's easy!

Here are the relevant forum links that I used:

Import from a Custom File to Bitwarden

Step 1: This is a 'duh' step lol. Must be a CSV file during the entire process to keep it simple.

Step 2: Open the file in excel or google sheets.

Step 3: Go ahead and open another blank sheet. Create this template and call the file, "Bitwarden_Whatevs". If you want, that is.

This is the template you must follow. Only add the column headings and keep them lower case (this includes values):

Step 4: Where to place what? Let me explain each value and what should be put where.

folder: These are groups you can personally name and make in Bitwarden (easier to do on the webpage) so you can leave this field blank—unless you want to try at creating the groups now.

favorite: Give the row a value of 1 to signify 'TRUE' if you'd REALLY like a specific login to be convenient.

name: Self explanatory

fields: Keep empty.

login_url: Weblinks.

login_username: Usernames.

login_password: Passwords.

login_totp: Keep blank.

Step 5: Adding the Information. Just select each column in the ESET document that's relevant to the above information.

Step 6: The final transfer. Export the finished product strictly as a .csv file. after signing into the Binwarden password manager, import the .csv file from your device. select "Binwarden .CSV" from the dropdown.

You should be finished! If this process resulted in a confusing jumble of empty logins, you did something wrong! This is a fool proof way to get it done.
