Importing to My Vault

Passportal allows imports to your My Vault credentials.

To import passwords to another location, please see Importing Passwords by CSV.

Accessing the My Vault Importer and downloading the import CSV:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Import/Export > Import to My Vault.

  2. The Import Passwords to Vault screen is displayed - click Vault Import Templates - Download to download the import CSV file.

  3. Extract the Import CSV file and populate it.

Populating the My Vault import CSV

DO NOT change the CSV filename at any time.

DO NOT change the CSV column headers.

If either are edited your credentials will fail to import correctly.

Once you’ve downloaded the template, you will notice there is no client name column as this is intended for your My Vault credentials, and not a client.

Populate the CSV with the credentials details you wish to be imported and save it without changing the filename.
