Essential Fields

The following fields are essential for a successful import. Your CSV file must include at least these two fields:

1. name: The name of the login, usually the service or website.
2. password: The password associated with the login.

As well as one of the following:‍

1. username: The username associated with the login.‍
2. email: The email address associated with the login.‍
3. phone: The phone number associated with the login.

Recommended Fields

While not essential, the following fields are recommended to help you better organize and use your logins within Cloaked:

1. url: The URL of the service or website associated with the login.
2. favorite: Indicates if the login is marked as a favorite (TRUE for favorite, FALSE for not a favorite).
3. notes: Any additional notes or information associated with the login.

Handling Non-Essential Fields

Your CSV file may contain other fields not mentioned above. During the label mapping step of the password import flow, you have two options for handling these non-essential fields:

1. Add to notes: This option will automatically append the data from the non-essential field to the notes field on the identity.
2. Ignore: This option will exclude the non-essential field from the import process, and the data will not be imported into Cloaked.
