Step 2: Import your data from iCloud Keychain/Passwords into Dashlane
Import your iCloud Keychain/Passwords CSV file into Dashlane using our web app or Android app. You can't import a CSV file to Dashlane using the iPhone app, iPad app, 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/Passwords 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.

- Preview your import. You can change whether Dashlane imports an item as a Login or a Secure Note. Professional plan members can choose whether specific items go to their Personal or Business Spaces.

Import your iCloud Keychain/Passwords data with the Android app

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 Dashlane Autofill
After you've moved your data into Dashlane, turn off iCloud Keychain on your computer or mobile device. Follow the steps on Apple's support website that you would use to turn iCloud Keychain on. In the last step, turn Keychain off instead.
