Keeper: Import Passwords from Web Browsers

Keeper can easily import credentials that have been saved using the inbuilt password managers from web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge & Safari. On macOS, Keeper can also import your iCloud Keychain passwords. 

It's best to follow this process in the Desktop App, as the web vault will require the installation of software you may not have permission to run.

Below is the table of contents, you can choose to complete this task in 1 of 3 ways: With the Windows Desktop App, Windows Web Vault (importing directly from your browser) or using the Windows Web Vault (using CSV files exporting them from the browser). If you encounter an issue when following one (i.e. when importing directly from the browser into the web vault) then try an alternative (i.e. importing into the web vault using CSV files).

The steps are identical for Mac users too, with the exception on minor differences when exporting CSV files but you should still be able to follow the same steps.
