copies passwords wrong #20

unfortunately the portable password exporter copies alot passwords wrong.
for example.. when i use the following character in my passwortd: "
i noticed that the password exorter just doubles that character into: ""

and then when using specific characters like ä, ü, ö and ß
they are transformed into strage stuff like à ASP or à ST (the ASP and ST have black background in notepad++).

all mentioned characters are speicific for german language. even the " character. (used to express direct speech)

edit: and then there are cases where my passwords are warpped around "....." like..
username: xyz
password: "passwordhere"

but in real that password never had "......" around it

edit 2: this all occurs when saving it as CSV
when saving it as json, the double "" didnt occure but still didnt understand the characters: ä ö ü ß

I believe CSV syntax calls for escaping " as "", so that sounds correct.

Also, any CSV value can be wrapped in quotes. That's just official CSV syntax.

thanks for the answer

i see.. but what's wondering is, that only a few passwords are wrapped in quotes and not all. so i was kind of confused why. yeah i tested another password exporter and it also saves the quote symbol " into double quote "" when saving it as CSV.
but still, i think not being able to recognize ä, ö, ü and ß is probably a bug in ff pasword exporter. do you plan on adding the capability to read these characters?

greetings
