Improper or inflexible CSV format

By default CSV (Comma Separated Value) uses commas to delineate between columns or fields. This application it requires semi-colons. This can cause a problem when importing a CSV in two ways:

a) Will not properly import any data if comas are used (some software ONLY outputs the default comma) b) Password contains a comma (it will skip and misalign all following information due to that 'offset' column.

Two solutions seems most appropriate: Use commas as delineation character and or Let the user decide which character should be used as delineator? That might be the most flexible?
