You no longer have an excuse for keeping your passwords and sensitive data on that password-protected Excel file. It’s not convenient and it’s not safe!
Now Clipperz password manager lets you quickly import from your Excel and CSV files. Similarly, you can now migrate your data to Clipperz other password managers like Keepass, Roboform and PasswordPlus. The import process is straightforward, read more about it here.
But why move your passwords to Clipperz? Why prefer an online password manager? What’s wrong with the password management functionalities of most browsers? What’s wrong with software-based solutions? It’s not just a matter of security, but mostly of convenience.
- If you use multiple computers you need to properly sync your password collections on all of them.
- Not all your passwords are related to web sites, sometimes you just need the admin password for your router.
- If you are on the road it won’t help having all your password stored on your pc at home.
- …
Luckily most software programs provide export functionalities, often to a standard format like CSV, sometimes to a custom format. And even when no export capabilities are present, a solution can be found. As an example, consider the case of Firefox’s password manager where you can use Password Exporter, a Firefox extension, to exports passwords as either an XML or CSV file.
In the future we are going to support even more formats and programs. Feel free to send in your requests.

Theres one excuse - mobile
Theres one excuse - mobile access. I use KeePass (along with ClipperZ) just because I can use the j2me version of KeePass to keep the passwords with me all the times irrespective of computer access.
Now if only ClipperZ can be accessed through any mobile (and not just iphone), then there would have been no excuse at all. Or atleast support exporting ClipperZ data back to these formats.
Export format dilemma
we would love to provide an export format compatible with other programs, but given the great freedom Clipperz provides to arrange data on each card, only the PasswordPlus format would be able to handle some of this flexibility.
But I don’t think many people would be interested in that export format.
I have included the PasswordPlus importer just because that was my previous password manager, so I could import all my data; you probably can call it “custom” feature. ;-)
As for a j2me edition, I don’t think we could handle its development with our current resources.
MAC
Is there any free password management software for MAC?
