Support import from Keepass XML

[monperrus]

Current Status We cannot restore / import entries when they contain a "notes" field with newlines

Feature Description XML is a more appropriate than CSV for handling field with newlines. A solution would be to add support for Keepass XML file (aka Keepass xml (2.x)), also supported by keepassxc

Reference documentation: https://keepass.info/help/base/importexport.html

Thanks!

FTR, a workaround is to translate a KeePass KDBX database to a bitwarden JSON file, see https://gist.github.com/monperrus/578395c30667581677d1ec20b7d445de

This does not properly restore the folder structure though, see https://github.com/marius-wieschollek/passwords/issues/468

Better workaround, here is a Python script to export KeePass folders and passwords directly to the Nextcloud Passwords backup JSON format.

How can one do this conversion with Windows? Can this python script be used at the import and built into the passwords app in nextcloud?

probably if you have python installed

Can this python script be used at the import and built into the passwords app in nextcloud?

no

Would be nice if the keepass import worked better. I get a lot of errors when trying to import a keepass database. I would imagine a lot of users of nextcloud would be coming from keepass.

Seems like the keepass import needs some sort of adjustment. I get this same message about tons of lines missing a training quote. What can I provide to help get this keepass import working reliably?

@stondino00 In that case please make a bug report including the Keepass app, version and OS you're using
