How to organize CSV file for import to NordPass

Introduction

NordPass offers an easy way to import your passwords from other password managers using a CSV file or by manually creating a CSV file and importing it to NordPass. However, before proceeding with the import, you may need to format the CSV file correctly. 

 

This guide will outline how to organize your CSV file to match NordPass import formatting and how to import the CSV file to NordPass.

 

Here's what to do

How to format the CSV file

If you plan to store any additional personal information within NordPass, you may also add it to the same CSV file. To do this, you'll need a tool capable of opening and editing CSV files, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

 

Follow these steps to format the CSV file:

  1. Download the NordPass CSV file template: 



    Note: The Shared folder is supported only for business and enterprise users.
     
  2. Edit CSV in Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, or Excel by filling in your information. Please also remember to remove any irrelevant information from the file, as the import to NordPass will not function properly.

 

How to import the CSV file to NordPass

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 application, extension, or WebVault and press the "Cog" icon, located on the upper-left side, to access the settings.
  2. Scroll down to the Import section and click on the "Import Items" button.
  3. Next, select the "Spreadsheet" option.
  4. Drag and drop the CSV file or upload it by pressing the "browse for CSV file" button, and upload the previously formatted CSV file.
  5. Once the file is uploaded, you'll see all the items that will be imported. If everything appears correct, simply click “Import”.

 

Additional Tips

  • Once all the items are imported to NordPass, please remember to delete your CSV file. It is not safe to keep it decrypted on your device.
