Import Passwords allows you to import all customer passwords and saves your time:

You can import Passwords from various data sources including Excel® files, CSV files.

==Before importing your Passwords==
Before you import your Passwords for the first time, we recommend that you go over the following checklist to make sure you perform the import in the most efficient way:

* '''Backup your database''' – it is very important to backup your data before performing any imports. This will assure that you can undo the import if needed very easily. [[Backup_and_Restore_FAQ|Click here]] for more details about performing a backup to your database
 
We recommend to import the following data '''before''' importing Passwords into RangerMSP:

#[[Import_Accounts|Import Accounts]] - when importing Passwords they will be linked to existing Account if it was recognized based on one of the following Account fields: File As, Account # (Number), internal Record ID. In case Account does not exist or could not be found or if there are duplicate Account records - the password record will not be imported.
#[[Import_Accounts#Importing_Secondary_Contacts|Import Secondary Contacts]] - when importing Passwords they will be linked to existing Secondary Contact, otherwise the password record will not be imported.
#[[Import_Assets|Import Assets]] - when importing Passwords they will be linked to existing Asset if it was recognized based on Asset Code or internal Record ID. In case Assets does not exist -the new password record will not be improted.

 

==Importing Passwords from Excel/CSV/Text Files==
You can import Passwords into RangerMSP from almost any data source that you may have, including Excel sheets, and exported files from other software.

To import Passwords:
#On the Main menu go to '''Tools > Import and Export > Import Passwords''', and select the type of file to be imported (MS Excel®, Text (CSV), Paradox tables, dBase tables) .
#Map the fields in the input file to the equivalent database fields in RangerMSP. [[File:Import_passwords_mapping_fields.png]] 

''Tip'': fields with name identical or similar to field name in RangerMSP will be mapped automatically.

Password Account field is mandatory for importing Passwords into RangerMSP.
