Step 2: Import your data from iCloud Keychain into Dashlane
Import your iCloud Keychain CSV file into Dashlane using our web app or Android app. You can't import a CSV file to Dashlane using the iOS (Apple) app, the Dashlane macOS app, or the Dashlane Safari extension.
Important: CSV files aren't encrypted, and others can read them. Delete the CSV file from your device after you import your data.
Import your iCloud Keychain data with the web app

- For Import source, select Other CSV. Then select Get Started.

- Preview your import. You can change whether Dashlane imports an item as a Login or a Secure Note. Starter, Team, and Business plan members can choose whether specific items go to their Personal or Business Space.
- Select Import items. You'll see a confirmation with the number of items imported.
Import your iCloud Keychain data with the Android app
- Select + Add new, Logins, and then Want to import multiple logins?
- Select From another password manager and then Select file.
- Select the CSV file that you exported from your iCloud Keychain and select Import.
Apple allows you to export logins only. So your import will include logins but not other data. Information that we couldn't import to a specific field will appear in the Note section of each login.
If you have any issues with import, check out the common problems at the end of this article, including using the Dashlane CSV template to prepare and import your data.

Step 3: Turn off iCloud Keychain and set up autofill
