## How to fix faulty CSV files
|
|
|
![Warning for bad exports](_files/import-faulty-csv.png)
|
|
|
Some password managers create faulty export files which can not be parsed by the importer.
|
|
|
These files need to be fixed manually in order to work properly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Open the file in a spreadsheet program like [LibreOffice Calc](https://libreoffice.org) or Microsoft Excel.
|
|
|
2. Check the file for errors. Most of these programs do a good job in fixing faulty CSVs. You should make sure that all colums are filled in properly.
|
|
|
3. Export the file as CSV.
|
|
|
4. Try the Import again
