CSV Import Guide

CSV Import Guide

SeaViperCascade includes browser/password-manager CSV import support.

This feature is intended to help users migrate existing saved credentials into the local encrypted vault.

CSV export will be added in the future.

Current Status

CSV import exists, but it still needs full end-to-end testing.

Recent hardening added:

• CSV size limits
• Row limits
• Field length limits
• Safer validation around imported data

Expected Behavior

The CSV import flow should:

• Accept supported CSV exports
• Parse credential rows safely
• Reject oversized files
• Reject malformed data gracefully
• Avoid crashing on unexpected input
• Preserve imported credential data correctly

Security Notes

CSV files can contain sensitive information.

Users should treat exported browser/password-manager CSV files as highly sensitive and delete them securely after import.

Needs Testing

• Import a valid browser CSV
• Import a malformed CSV
• Import an oversized CSV
• Import CSV with missing fields
• Import CSV with duplicate entries
• Verify imported credentials are encrypted and saved correctly
• Verify the UI reports import errors clearly
