Import usernames and passwords

Dropbox Osx App

If you have saved account usernames and passwords in a browser or a CSV file from a different password manager, you can import them in the Dropbox Passwords desktop app or browser extension.

Notes:

  • The columns in your CSV file must be labeled so Dropbox Passwords knows how to import the information. Although Dropbox Passwords can recognize a range of labels, we recommend labeling them “Name”, “Password”, “Username”, “Notes”, and “URL”.
  • This feature doesn’t currently support importing passwords from Safari.

To import account usernames and passwords in the desktop app:

  1. Open the Dropbox Passwords desktop app.
