Buttercup Vault Importer

Import vaults from other password managers

About

This vault importer coverts password vaults from other formats to the Buttercup vault format (BCUP).

You can of course use the importer in your own projects, by importing the individual importers.

Eg.

const { KDBXImporter } = require("@buttercup/importer");

KDBXImporter.loadFromFile("...");
