How to migrate from dashlane to 1password

One does not simply export passwords from dashlane and expect them to be imported into 1password.

But with some DIY attitude it can be done:

1. Export the Dashlane vault as CSV into a file, e.g. DashlanePrivate.csv
2. Remove all non-password entries (cards, identities, passports, etc.).
3. Create the migration script:

cat > migrate.awk <<EOF
{
  title = $1
  website = $2
  password = $6
  notes = $7
  if ($3 == "\"\"")
    username = $4;
  else
    username = $3;
  print title "," website "," username "," password "," notes
}
EOF

4. Running it:

> awk -F "," -f migrate.awk DashlanePrivate.csv > DashlanePrivateMigrated.csv

Import DashlanePrivateMigrated.csv using 1password "import from dashlane" option.

Testing

Test file:

cat > DashlaneTest.csv <<EOF 
"title","website","username","login2","login3","password","notes"
"site1","site1.se","user1","","","password1",""
"site2","site2.nu","","user2@gmail.com","","password2","note2"
"site3","site3.io","user3","","secondary3","password3",""
"site4","site4.gx","user4","user4@gmail.com","","password4","note4"
EOF

Running the test

> awk -F "," -f migrate.awk DashlaneTest.csv > DashlaneTestMigrated.csv
