How to organize CSV file for import to NordPass

NordPass offers an easy way to import your passwords from other password managers using a CSV file. However, before proceeding with the import, you may need to organize the CSV file first. This guide will outline how to organize your CSV file to match NordPass import formatting.

The crucial step is to ensure that the information in your CSV file is organized under relevant headings. Below is a template of the CSV format accepted by NordPass:

Alternatively, you can download a template of the NordPass CSV file (at the bottom of this page) and fill in the information. To do this, you'll need a tool capable of opening and editing CSV files, such as Excel or Google Sheets.

Once you've properly formatted the CSV file, you can import it into NordPass. For that, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open NordPass and go to Settings.
