  2. Scroll down to the import and export section and select “import items”:
  3. Choose the password manager from which you have exported your data, or choose the spreadsheet option. List of file types that can be imported to NordPass:
    • LastPass: CSV
    • Dashlane: CSV, ZIP
    • Keeper: CSV, JSON
    • RoboForm: CSV
    • 1Password: CSV, 1PUX
    • KeePass: CSV, XML
    • BitWarden: CSV, JSON
    • ProtonPass: JSON, ZIP

Additional tips

After your import is done, we suggest deleting the file with your exported passwords, as it is not safe to keep it decrypted on your device.
