How to add the support for a new password manager?

1) To add support for a new password manager named mymanager, add the file pass_import/managers/mymanager.py. The code itself will depend on the format of the file it should import. Here is the bare minimum for a CSV based importer:

# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
# pass import - Passwords importer swiss army knife
# Copyright (C) Year YourName <[email protected]>.
#

from pass_import.formats.csv import CSV
from pass_import.manager import register_managers


class MyManagerCSV(CSV):
    """Importer for MyManager in CSV format."""
    name = 'mymanager'
    url='https://mymanager.com'
    hexport='File > Export > CSV'
    himport='pass import mymanager file.csv'
    keys = {
        'title': 'title',
        'password': 'password',
        'login': 'login',
        'url': 'url',
        'comments': 'comments',
        'group': 'group'
    }

    def parse(self):
        # If required your importer code here.
        pass


register_managers(MyManagerCSV)
  1. Then, you will want to import the class MyManagerCSV in pass_import/managers/__init__.py.

3) Add a file named tests/assets/db/mymanager[.csv,.xml,...]. No contribution will be accepted without this file. This file must contain the exported data from your manager. It has to be the exact export of the main test password repository. This test data can be found in the tests/assets/references/main.yml.

4) Enable and configure the generic import and file format test for your new importer. Add an entry in tests/tests.yml with your importer settings. Example:

MyManagerCSV:
  path: mymanager.csv

5) Check the success of the tests, ensure the coverage does not decrease and the code health passes.

Naming convention

  • The class name is not linked to the command name. It is common to name it as follow: ManagerNameFormat().
  • If a class has both import and export capabilities, it is common to name it directly by its manager. It should also be the default class for the manager.
  • Always sort the classes in alphabetic order.

Data Organization

By definition, password-store does not impose any particular schema or type of organisation of data. Nevertheless, pass-import respects the most common case storing a single password per entry alongside with additional information like emails, pseudo, URL and other sensitive data or metadata. Although the exact list of data stored with the password can vary from entries in the password store, the data imported always respects a simple key: value format at the exception of the password that is always present in the first line.

pass_import.manager.PasswordManager is the main class that manages import from all the supported password manager. Then the classes in pass_import.formats inherit from it. It manages data formatting from all the password manager.

Data are imported in PasswordManager.data, this is a list of ordered dict. Each entry is a dictionary that contains the data for a password store entry. The dictionary's keys are divided into two sets:

1) The standard keys: title, password, login, url, comments and group. 2) The extra keys that differ from password managers and contain the description of any extra data we can find in the exported file.
