Import or export passwords and passkeys with Google Password Manager

You can import passwords and passkeys from other apps to Google Password Manager on Chrome. You can also export your passwords and passkeys from Google Password Manager.

To find the list of accounts with saved passwords and passkeys on your device, you can:

Import passwords on your Android device with a .csv file

Step 1: Export your passwords from other apps as a .csv file

Tip: To make sure your passwords use the proper format, check if the first line of your exported passwords file includes these column names:

  • “url”
  • “username”
  • “password”

If not, update your file to include "url", “username", and "password" as column names in the first line.

Step 2: Import passwords into Google Password Manager
  1. On your Android device, open Chrome Chrome.
  2. At the top right, select More More and then Settings.
  3. Tap Autofill and passwords and then Google Password Manager.
  4. At the bottom right, select Settings and then Import passwords and passkeys.
    1. You will be prompted to authenticate your identity.
  5. Tap “uploading a csv file” at the bottom of the screen.
  6. Choose the .csv file you want to import.
  7. Select Import.
Tips:
  • You can import 3,000 passwords at a time. If you must import more, split them into multiple .csv files and import the files separately. You can store up to 10,000 passwords in your Google Account.
  • Not all app and site names migrate in the correct field. If you can’t find an imported password in Google Password Manager, search for the app or site name in the search box.
Step 3: Delete your .csv password file on your device

Important: If you don’t delete your password file, anyone who uses the device can open the file and access your passwords.

To delete your password file, refer to your device’s documentation.
