Import from KeePass (.kdbx)

Instructions on how to import passwords from KeePass encrypted .kdbx files to Keeper

.KDBX File Import Overview

Keeper supports the ability to import directly from encrypted Keepass files in .kdbx file format. Keeper can import both password-protected and private key-protected formats. All versions of .kdbx files are supported.

This import will include passwords, folders, custom fields and file attachments.

Importing records with File Attachments is restricted to Keeper customers with the Secure File Storage Add-On.

To import into Keeper, please locate your encrypted .kdbx file, and if you are protecting your Keepass file with a private Key File, that will be required for import as well.

Import

1. Log into the Keeper Web Vault or Desktop App.

2. From the Account Dropdown Menu, click Settings.

3. Click Import > Import (next to "Use Another Source") and from the dropdown menu select KeePass (.kdbx).

Select Keepass as Import Source

1. Enter your KeePass password.

2. If one was used, click Add Key File and select the file from your computer.

Enter KeePass Password and Add Key File

1. Drag-and-drop the .kdbx file onto Keeper's "Drop a File Here" window or browse for the file on your computer. Check the box if your file includes column headers, otherwise, the first row will be treated as data. If the import is unsuccessful, you may need to update your KeePass application to a newer version, or export your KeePass database to a newer format.

2. Once you have imported your credentials using one of the methods above, you can customize how you would like the information to appear in your vault in the field mapping screen. Here you'll see standard field names across the top that “map” to the data below for each Keeper record.

   To adjust these mappings:

   • Click any field to open a dropdown menu

   • Select the appropriate field name from the list. Repeat this process across each column as needed

   • Click Next to finalize your selections.

3. Next, a summary screen will display a preview of your vault, showing the folder structure of your imported records. Here you can adjust the folder structure and click into individual records to preview their details before finalizing the import. Click Confirm Import to complete the import process.

Make sure to delete the local KeePass files from your computer.
