Import your data to Dashlane with a CSV file

If you've updated your Apple devices to iOS 26 or macOS 26 or later, you can use the Credential Exchange Protocol to transfer your data. This feature is available with the Dashlane app for iPhone, iPad, or your Mac computer, but not on the Dashlane browser extension.

Import your data to Dashlane using the Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP)

To import a CSV file on Apple devices running iOS 18 or macOS 18 or earlier, use the Dashlane web app on your computer.

Steps for transferring your data

Step 1: Export your data from another password manager

Important: CSV files aren't encrypted, and others can read them. After you finish these steps, delete the CSV file from your device.

You can export your data from most browsers and password managers to a CSV file. See the steps for exporting from one of these password managers or browsers:

1Password | Bitwarden | LastPass | KeePass | Keeper

Roboform | Google Chrome | Mozilla Firefox | Microsoft Edge

Safari | iCloud Keychain/Passwords

For all other password managers, use the steps in this article.

If you're having trouble exporting your data, contact the customer support team of the password manager you're trying to export from.

What's included in my CSV import?

Your import includes logins and Secure Notes. If your login or Secure Note was in a folder or category in your other password manager, we'll add the item to a Collection with the same name in Dashlane.

For each login, we'll import the item name, website, username, and password to the appropriate field. Any other information you exported from the other password manager will be imported into the Note section of the login.

Important: If the CSV file you exported from the other password manager contains 2FA tokens or setup codes, we'll import the data to the Note section of the login. You'll still need to turn on 2FA in the security settings of the website or app you want to protect with 2FA in Dashlane.

Step 2: Prepare your data

If you're using one of the password managers or browsers listed in the previous CSV section of this article, you can skip this step and move on to step 3 to import your CSV file directly to Dashlane.

Before importing to Dashlane, move your data into our CSV template so that our app can read it properly.

Import using a CSV file on Android

Important: CSV files aren't encrypted, and other people can read them. Delete the CSV file from your device after you finish importing your data.

You need to have the CSV file saved on your Android device or move the file to your device to complete these steps.

In the Dashlane Android app, open the Vault from the side menu.
On the Vault screen, select + Add new and then Logins.
On the next screen, select Import multiple items.
On the Where are you importing data from? screen, select From a CSV file.
On the next screen, select Select file. You may need to enter your Master Password or unlock Dashlane with your face or fingerprint.

If we need more information, a pop-up appears with the title Let's match your file. Select Start matching.

We'll ask you to identify the data in several examples. For each item, select Website or app, Username or email, Password, or Other. If you mark an item as Other, that item won't be imported. Then select Next.

Note: If we don't need more information, you won't see the Let's match your file pop-up. We'll import your data directly. Review the data. If you don't want to import an item, clear its checkbox. When ready, select Import.
