This article discusses importing your data to Dashlane after exporting from another password manager. If you want to export your data from Dashlane, read our other articles on that subject.
Export Dashlane data to a CSV file
Export Dashlane data to a secure DASH file
You can move your logins and other data to Dashlane from a browser or another password manager. You can only use a CSV file to move your data from other password managers to Dashlane. You can't use special files created by other password managers like 1Password's 1PUX to import your data to Dashlane.
We have specific instructions for moving your data from any 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.
Important: If you want to use Dashlane Free but have more than 25 logins, you won't be able to import logins from other sources. You have two options. You can either delete some of your logins or upgrade to one of our paid plans—Dashlane Premium and Dashlane Friends & Family. These plans offer unlimited logins and sharing on multiple devices, real-time phishing alerts, and Dark Web Monitoring.

Step 1: Export your data from another password manager
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
If you're not using one of these password managers or browsers, or you're having trouble exporting your data, contact the customer support team of the password manager you're trying to export from.
Important: CSV files aren't encrypted, and others can read them. After you finish these steps, delete the CSV file from your device.
Step 2: Prepare your data
If you're using one of the browsers or password managers listed at the beginning 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 our app can read it properly.
Step 3: Import your data to Dashlane
Import your CSV file to Dashlane using the web and Android apps. At this time, you can't import data with a CSV file using the iPhone, iPad, or macOS app.
Import your data with the web app
- Open Logins or Secure Notes in the side menu and then select Import data in the top menu.
OR
In the My account menu, select Settings and then Import data.
- In the Import source menu, select where you exported your file from or Other CSV, and then select Get started.
- Drag the file from your computer to the space provided, or select browse your computer files to search for the file on your desktop. After you select the file, select Next to preview the file in Dashlane.
- Review the data. You can change whether an item belongs in Logins or Secure Notes or select Do not import.
- When you're ready, select Import items. You'll see a confirmation with the number of imported items.
Import your data with the Android app
- Select + Add new.
- Select Logins.
- Select Want to import multiple logins?
- Select From a CSV file and Select file.
- Find and select the CSV file on your device. 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. 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. To not import an item, clear its checkbox. When ready, select Import.
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 to 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.
Protect logins stored in Dashlane with 2-factor authentication (2FA)
Important: CSV files aren't encrypted, and other people can read them. Delete the CSV file from your device as soon as you finish importing your data.
Step 4: Turn off other password managers
To avoid problems with Autofill and other Dashlane features, turn off or uninstall other password managers. See steps for uninstalling these password managers:
1Password | Bitwarden | LastPass | KeePass | Keeper
Roboform | Google Chrome | Mozilla Firefox | Microsoft Edge
Safari | iCloud Keychain/Passwords
