What is a CSV file?
A CSV file is a file with data in the text format. Each line is one data
item. Fields inside each line are separated with a comma or, which is more
often, with a semicolon.
CSV files are widely used for exchanging information between software products
from different developers. For example, it is really convenient to edit
a CSV file in MS Excel.
Why is the import feature useful?
The import feature is necessary for you to be able to start using SecureSafe
Pro without entering all data anew. If you have a list of passwords in the
CSV format (you can easily make it using MS Excel), you can add all of them
to SecureSafe Pro without typing a single word on your keyboard.
