Import & Export

LockYit allows you to export your data to CSV files, and import the exported CSV file.

Importing data from other applications will be supported in the future, wherever possible.

• Migrate to another platform (if needed)

3. Read the security warning
4. Click or tap download_2 Export
5. Choose where to save the file

Your data is exported as a ZIP file containing CSV files for each item type.

Export Security

Exported CSV file is Unencrypted

The exported CSV files contain your passwords in plain text. Handle with extreme care:

Duplicate Handling

LockYit gives you control over duplicates:

• Add as new items creates copies of items even if they already exist (generating new IDs).
• Replace existing items updates the existing item with the data from the import file.

Tips

Regular Backups

Export your data monthly and store it securely. This protects against device loss or corruption.

Test Your Export

After exporting, try importing into a test account to verify your data is complete.
