About:
pass-import is a secure extension for the standard Unix password manager that enables users to seamlessly migrate their credentials from popular password managers like LastPass, 1Password, and KeePass. It parses export files and securely imports them into the user's existing password store, preserving the original directory structure. This tool significantly lowers the barrier for users wanting to switch to a more secure, command-line based password management solution.

Key Features:

Supports importing from over 20 popular password managers including KeePass, 1Password, and LastPass
Preserves the original folder structure and metadata during the import process
Runs entirely locally, ensuring sensitive password data never leaves the user's machine
Automatically detects the format of the exported file for a hassle-free experience

Use Cases:

Migrating from a cloud-based password manager to the local, GPG-encrypted pass utility
Consolidating password databases from multiple different managers into a single pass store
Recovering and securing data from an exported backup file of a previous password manager

Alternatives:

pass-tomb – Used for encrypting the password store itself in a separate container, whereas pass-import focuses on data migration.
Bitwarden – A full-featured cloud-based manager with a GUI, while pass-import is a CLI tool for a specific file-based system.
