Want to switch to Apple’s Passwords app? You’ll need to move passwords manually unless you already use iCloud Keychain on your Apple devices. More importantly, you can import passwords only in the macOS version of the Passwords app. I’ll show you how.

Export Passwords From a Third-Party Password Manager

First, you need to export all your passwords from your current password manager. The Apple Passwords app supports importing passwords viaa CSV file, so be sure to choose it as the export format.

I’ll demonstrate exporting passwords fromBitwardensince that’s what I use. However, the process should be pretty similar for other password managers. So, follow these instructions:

Now that you have the CSV file, you’re able to start setting up Apple Passwords.

Import Passwords Into Apple Passwords on a Mac

With your exported password CSV file downloaded, importing it into Apple Passwords is straightforward.

Once it does, you should see all your login credentials from the previous password manager in theAlltile on the Passwords app. Mind you, the imported passwords won’t replace your existing passwords in the app.
