Password Safe supports exporting (and importing) of the stored passwords to (and from) various formats. To export data use the File->Export To menu. The supported formats are:
For previous versions of Password Safe, just select the desired format and specify the name of the database file you wish to create.
In addition, to 'export' a subset of entries to another Password Safe database, just start Password Safe (assuming you permit multiple instances via Manage->Options->System tab) and create a new database, whilst having your normal database open in another instance. Then you can simply drag and drop any entries or groups from your open database to this 'export' database.
Password Safe allows you to export password
entries to text files. These files may then be used or modified by other applications.
You will first be asked to enter the master password or safe
combination to confirm that you may export the database into a clear
text unencrypted file.
You can also specify some options:
Password entries will be exported with a tab character between
fields i.e., between the Group.Title, Username, Password and the Notes
fields. The "Group.Title" is considered a single field. Any field
containing a blank will be output inside double quotation characters.
Only the Notes field can contain multiple line entries. The normal
processing is to place each Notes line on a separate
line in the exported text field. However, this makes it difficult to
sort or to use when comparing two different export files. To
overcome this, you may specify a delimiter to separate multiple lines when
exporting them. If you are going to import a text file created with such a
delimiter, then it must be specified,
all the Notes lines will appear as one single line in the resulting
database.
If required, tick that you want to put all separate lines
in the Notes field onto one line and enter the character to be used as
the delimiter. Since the whole Notes field is enclosed between double
quotation marks, this character is prohibited from being selected as
the multi-line delimiter.
This dialog box allows you to export only some of the entries, based on the text in specified fields, and/or specify which fields are to be exported. Click OK when you have finished, or Cancel to return to the Export Text dialog box without any changes.
You will then be asked to supply the name of the new file and to confirm overwriting a file of the same name if it already exists in the directory you specified.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a popular format for transferring
data between applications. Password Safe can export (and import) the
database entries to this format. The structure (or schema)
against which the data is exported and validated is defined in the file pwsafe.xsd,
which is provided as part of the distribution. This file is used by
Password Safe when XML data is imported, and should be provided to
applications that wish to use the exported data.
This dialog box allows you to export only some of the entries, based on the text in specified fields, and/or specify which fields are to be exported. Click OK when you have finished, or Cancel to return to the Export XML dialog box without any changes. Note that the XML schema requires the Title and Password fields, hence these cannot be deselected.
You will then be asked to supply the name of the new file and to confirm overwriting a file of the same name if it already exists in the directory you specified.
