Export Enpass to CSV
Overview
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on how to export Enpass to a CSV file. Enpass, a robust password management tool, offers the flexibility to export your vaults, facilitating a range of tasks from data backup to sharing specific items. Understanding the nuances of CSV export is crucial, as this feature is not completely lossless, with some metadata, field types, and record types potentially omitted. Despite this, exporting to CSV can be incredibly valuable, particularly when integrating this data into a spreadsheet for analysis or reporting. On this page, we'll explore what Enpass is, provide a step-by-step guide on exporting your data to a CSV file, discuss the practical use cases for such exports, introduce an alternative approach using Sourcetable, and address common questions about the CSV export process.
What is Enpass?
Enpass is a password manager that enables users to store, sync, and manage their passwords. It is designed to facilitate the safe storage of passwords in multiple locations, including cloud services like iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, NextCloud, and WebDAV, as well as offline for enhanced security. This versatility makes Enpass suitable for personal, business, and family use.
With Enpass, users can securely store not only login information but also sensitive data such as credit card numbers, ID cards, and other important personal information. Enpass also provides features like password auditing to ensure password strength and security, and it can autofill payment details during online shopping for convenience. Additionally, Enpass offers the capability to sync vaults using Wi-Fi, ensuring that users' passwords are updated and accessible across different devices.
Exporting Data from Enpass to CSV File
Initiating the Export Process
To begin exporting your data from Enpass to a CSV file, you must first open your Enpass application. Ensure you are using Enpass 6, as this version supports exporting to CSV and JSON formats. However, be aware that exporting attachments is not supported.
Selecting the CSV Export Format
Within Enpass 6, navigate to the section where you manage exports. Here, you will have the option to choose between different export formats. Select the CSV format option for the purpose of creating a file that can be used in various spreadsheet applications or other password managers that support CSV imports.
Exporting the Data
Once you've selected the CSV export option, proceed with the export process. Enpass 6 will generate a CSV file that includes columns like "Folder, Title, Login, Password, Website, Notes, Subfolder, Custom Fields". This structured format ensures that all your essential data is organized effectively when exported.

Conclusion
Conclusively, exporting your Enpass vaults to a CSV file is a process that begins with the Enpass 6 app's ability to support multiple vaults and its feature of exporting these vaults as JSON files. This JSON file can subsequently be converted to a CSV format using a jq script, which carefully extracts and arranges relevant fields such as title, login, password, website, and notes into a CSV structure, whilst also adding a Folder field labeled "enpass import."
