StickyPassword in Linux

[Ash_OZ]

Hi All,

Thanks for your advice. I'm trying to get a Windows app working on Linux Mint (newbie). It's a Password manager (why? You ask because I'm unable to import my passwords into other PS managers, and I have over 2000 passwords in the database. I have tried Wine with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Loving Mint (Windows Sucks).

What's the name of your password manager?

 

[Ash_OZ]

Sticky Password.

Thanks you.

Sticky Password

This is what Google has to say:

To export data from Sticky Password to CSV, open the application, select Menu > Export, and choose Unencrypted or TXT format to create a readable file. Since Sticky Password mainly exports to a secure format, you may need to export to a .txt file, then manually convert it to CSV or import it into a spreadsheet program to convert it.

You should then be able to import your passwords into other applications, such as Bitwarden.

I have tried that, when opening the txt file in excel it only shows an (M) on screen. only thing I can think is to open it in a text editor and manually edit every entry. Not doing that for 2000+ entries.

But thanks.

Open the text file with the password manager of your choice, using the import function. You should be able to tell it that the text file is a .csv file (csv is for comma separated value text file) and also which fields in that text files to map to which fields in the Linux password manager. Then just have the password manager import the file, and done.

I have tried that, when opening the txt file in excel, etc etc

Install bitwarden. Either as a standalone app (program) or as an extension (addon) in your browser (firefox?)....then navigate to Import in bitwarden, and use that to import that file into bitwarden

4am here....hope that made sense.

One thing Linux does very well with the tools it ships with is managing text.

If your file is just two lines (make sure you select the unencrypted bit), then a command like this is darned near magical:

printf "%s,%s\n" $(<input.txt) > output.csv

That might need some refinement, but it should be really close to what you need. You can do all sorts of fun things with Linux's tools. It's probably wiser to do your work on a copy of the .txt file. That way you don't have to go through the export process a second time if you mangle it the first time.

Mate, I have tried to do all that, but Bitwarden can't import StickyPassword data in any format, and can't manually add over 2000 entries.

But thanks,

Try KeePassXC. It can import most formats, and can certainly handle .txt or .csv files, with no limit on the number of entries. I don't trust or use Bitwarden, but I would be amazed to find that it can't import .txt or .csv files. KeePassXC can directly import most common password manager files, but Sticky Passwords is not something I've ever heard of, and I have no idea what file format it uses. It should allow exporting, however. A password manager that can't import or export is not worth using.

This is what I get using the command provided. Garbage, using OnlyOffice.

Different password managers store information in different fields, unfortunately. You need to map the fields as needed. Any decent password manager allows that, and certainly KeePassXC does. KeePass also has a Windows version, and the export/import can be done in Windows, and the database just transferred as desired. Both KeePass and KeePassXC use the exact same database.

That's likely something that could be processed with a few steps.

What does the CSV (comma-separated values) output look like?

It may be difficult for most of us to be of much help with a file containing Chinese characters. I'm afraid I don't know Chinese, but perhaps someone else here does.

 

[Ash_OZ]

I will try exporting in Windows and importing in KeePassXC. Well, let you know.
Thanks a lot.

Password managers? Not me. I use password obfuscation in a plain text file. A few years ago I brought my cell phone for repairs and the goblin who owned the store found my text based password list and tried several sites to get in, he failed and I never changed my passwords.
