While not essential, the following fields are recommended to help you better organize and use your logins within Cloaked:

Handling Non-Essential Fields

Your CSV file may contain other fields not mentioned above. During the label mapping step of the password import flow, you have two options for handling these non-essential fields:

2. Ignore: This option will exclude the non-essential field from the import process, and the data will not be imported into Cloaked.
