Migration

Switch from Proton Pass to HexVault

2 min · Export from Proton Pass, import to HexVault

Moving from Proton Pass to HexVault takes a few minutes. Export JSON (it carries your 2FA secrets) or CSV, then import it.

Where to import: open your HexVault vault and go to Settings → Data → Import Passwords, choose Proton Pass, and drop in the file you export below.

Step 1 — Export from Proton Pass

  • In Proton Pass: Settings → Export.
  • Choose JSON (recommended — carries 2FA secrets) or CSV.
  • Save the file.

Handle the export file carefully. It is unencrypted plaintext — anyone who opens it has your passwords. Keep it only as long as the import takes, then delete it and empty your trash.

Step 2 — Import into HexVault

  • Open HexVault and go to Settings → Data → Import Passwords.
  • Choose Proton Pass as the source.
  • Drop in the JSON or CSV file you just exported. HexVault parses it and re-encrypts every entry in your browser with your master password before anything is sent — we only ever receive ciphertext.
  • Review the preview and confirm.

Step 3 — After you import

  • Delete the export file and empty your trash — it is plaintext.
  • Run a security check. HexVault flags reused, weak, and breached passwords so you can fix the worst first.
  • Turn on two-factor for your HexVault account.

Import happens in your browser: your file is parsed and re-encrypted locally with your master password before anything is sent. Your key is derived with Argon2id and entries are sealed with AES-256-GCM. How the encryption works →  ·  All import sources →
