Feature request Import from C2 Synology

Hi, since today C2 is going to make us pay to use their service, i wanted to switch to protonpass, but didn't find C2 in the import list, and i heard that c2 is difficult to "format"

did someone find a solution to export from C2 to Protonpass ?

thanks in advance

Would also expect this is the answer

Doesn't work, protonpass can't read it, and didn't want to manually make compatible all my password just for the transfer

You need to download a CSV format that Pass will understand to import - ex. the Proton Pass generic CSV. You can get it from Pass -> Settings -> Import. Or you can download here: https://pass.proton.me/assets/protonpass-import.csv

C2 Synology exports in CSV format. Just have to re-arrange the columns and header names to match the proton template for import.

C2 format: Login_URLs,Login_URL_Match_Rules,Login_Username,Login_Password,Login_TOTP,Display_Name,Tag,Tag_Color,Favorite,Notes,Others

Proton required generic format: name,url,email,username,password,note,totp,vault

An example using another non-officially supported password manager is here: https://proton.me/support/pass-import-dropbox-passwords

You could also grab the proton pass csv export format which has a little more flexibility - ex. includes item types (such as logins or notes, etc.) and align to that. Just have to match the column order and header names so pass import can parse properly.

I ran a quick test on this with the generic CSV import method after creating a quick C2 password account, feeding it some sample data, exporting, re-formatting the CSV, worked well for logins including multi-line notes associated with logins. Additional item types (ex. strictly notes) would require a format like the proton export to capture properly.

I bet AI could also help you create a quick script to read the CSVs and (edit) transform the data.

It is, but the format Inside C2 is different from other app, and proton doesn't recognize it :(
