How to export Safari passwords in iOS 16 and macOS Ventura

William Gallagher's Avatar

We are at a stage where the line is blurring between password managers like 1Password and the way that Safari creates and stores passwords for you. Both have their advantages, but since Safari comes built in to the Mac , iPhone and iPad , at some point you are going to save a password there.

You may never notice or care, just so long as you always visit that password-protected website through Safari and on the same device, or at least the same Apple ID. But when a site's IT staff have decided that everyone must use Chrome for no reason other than those engineers seem to like that browser, you have a tiny problem.

Or if you have some reason to think you've had enough of this and want to settle on solely using a third-party password manager app, you have an irritating problem of how to transfer passwords over.

There are two things you can do.

How to use one Safari password in another browser

You're going to have to type the password in to the new browser, or at least paste it. Since the odds are that don't even know what your Apple-generated password is for a given site, first you have to find out.

And the way you do that is slightly different on the Mac than on iPhone or iPad.

How to look up a password in Safari on iPhone or iPad

  • Open Settings
  • Select Passwords
  • Authenticate that you're you with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode
  • Scroll down to the website you want and tap on it
  • Tap Edit at top right
  • Copy the password that is now visible

To find one password on iPhone or iPad, you have to start in Settings

How to look up a password in Safari on Mac

  • Open Safari (not System Settings)
  • Choose the Safari menu, then Settings...
  • Click the Passwords key, right underneath the window title
  • Authenticate with Touch ID or passcode
  • In the window that appears, click to select Passwords
  • Scroll through the list of websites or use the Search box
  • Click on the site you want
  • Click Edit toward the top right
  • Copy the password that appears in a pop-up window, being careful not to change it

You now have your one password in the iPhone's or Mac's clipboard and can paste it into the new browser.

It's quicker to do than to describe, yet it's not something you'd want to do repeatedly.

So there is another way to get all of the passwords out of Safari at once. Instead of one item on your clipboard, you end up with one text file that contains everything.

Note that this requires a Mac, it can't be done from an iPhone or iPad. Since all of your Safari passwords should be available to you on all your devices, this isn't a problem — so long as you do have a Mac.

How to export all Safari passwords

  • Open Safari on the Mac
  • Choose File , Export , and then Passwords
  • Confirm that you want to do this by clicking Export Passwords... on the dialog that appears
  • Choose where to save the file and what to call it
  • Authenticate that you are you with Touch ID or password

The reason for Apple asking if you're really sure about this, is that there is a danger. The sole way to get passwords out of one app and ready to be brought into another, is to use a text file, and that is risky.

Safari saves your passwords in a .csv file, a comma-separated values one, which just about any app can then import. But just as apps can read the passwords, so can anyone who gets the file.

"WARNING," says Apple in a support document . "Your passwords are exported to a CSV file. The CSV file is not encrypted and anyone reading the file can see your passwords."

On the Mac, look for the password section in Safari

What to do with your Safari password file

First you must import the passwords file into another app, such as 1Password or another browser, such as Chrome. And then you must delete the text file.

Don't put it off until you've checked all of the passwords have successfully moved over to the new device and the new browser, delete it anyway. If something's gone wrong, you're just going to have to redo the password text file, so there is no benefit to keeping it around.

And, there are only risks in leaving a file like that around.

How to Export Passwords From Chrome, Firefox, and Safari

Andrew Orr

Saving your passwords in a browser is okay, but dedicated password managers have more advanced features. You can save notes, files, Wi-Fi information, medical data, and other data types. Here’s how to export passwords out of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Export Passwords From Chrome

  • For Google Chrome you can either click on your profile photo and then the password button, or enter chrome://settings/passwords in the address bar.
  • In the Saved Passwords section, click on the uppermost three dot icon and then click Export Passwords > Export . You may have to enter your computer password to continue.
  • Choose a folde r in which to save the CSV file and save it.

Export Passwords From Firefox

  • For Firefox you can click on the three-line menu button, then click Logins and Passwords .
  • Click on the three-dot menu button and choose Export Logins > Export . You may have to enter your computer password to continue.
  • Choose a folder in which to save the CSV file and save it.

Export Passwords From Safari

Passwords in macOS is a bit different. Apple passwords are not stored directly in Safari, they are stored in a separate app called Keychain Access. You can find this using Spotlight or in the Applications > Utilities folder .

  • There are system keychains and iCloud keychains, so choose which one you’d like. If you have multiple Apple devices with iCloud turned on, you’re probably using iCloud Keychain.
  • Click on File > Export Items . If this menu entry is grayed then it means at least one of those items can’t be exported.
  • Choose a folder in which to save the file, click the File Format menu and choose a file type, then click Save.
  • Enter your Mac password and save the file.

Exporting password + one-time codes from iCloud Keychain is now officially supported in macOS Monterey and Safari 15 (for Monterey, Big Sur, and Catalina). Open Safari, and in the menu bar choose File > Export > Passwords . On macOS Monterey can also go to System Preferences > Passwords , click the circle-with-three-dots icon at the bottom of the side menu, and choose Export Passwords .

Importing to a Password Manager

These steps are tricky because each password manager typically have their own way of importing or support different file formats. For example:

  • Bitwarden only supports importing passwords on its website.
  • 1Password has the same limitation , at least for CSV files.
  • LastPass has CSV import instructions here , using the browser extension and its website.
  • Dashlane’s web app instructions can be found here . The company has further instructions on how the CSV file should be formatted here .

Those are the top four most popular password managers. If you’re using a different app you may need to search for their own help and support instructions.

One thought on “ How to Export Passwords From Chrome, Firefox, and Safari ”

This is wonderful article. Exporting passwords is very useful for people likely to forget passwords like me.

Safari Password Manager: How to save, view and manage passwords in Apple's browser

Thanks to iCloud Keychain, you can save browser username and password combinations.

Apple Safari logo

  • Quick steps

Tools and Requirements

Step by step guide to using the safari password manager, final thoughts.

You probably already know about iCloud if you're using at least one Apple device. The cloud storage and synchronization service allows it to store and access content across multiple devices, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, and more.  These include files and information like documents, photos, music, video, and contacts.

Apple's iCloud service is also at the heart of the iCloud Keychain , where you can store website usernames/passwords, among other items. In this how-to, we're concentrating on how to add, edit, and delete Safari password content. Similar tools are available on other browsers like Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox . 

  • You should also consider the best browsers and best secure browsers .  

Steps for saving, viewing and managing passwords

  • Before you can save any username/password combinations, you must first be sure to have an Apple ID or iCloud account.
  • From there, you can begin adding usernames and passwords for websites you frequent. 
  • You can also take advantage of Apple's new passkey feature. 
  • Safari is only available on Apple devices such as Mac, iPhone, and iPad. 

1. Go into the manager

Safari passwords

To get started, you must first create an Apple ID . The username/password combinate is usable across all Apple devices to log into iCloud.com. You can proceed once you have an Apple ID and are logged into your device. 

On Mac, the Safari password manager is located by choosing Safari on the menu bar at the top left of your Mac. From there, click Settings from the pull-down menu. 

Next, click on the Passwords option at the top. Input your password as needed. 

2. Adjust existing password settings

Safari change password

You can adjust password information in the iCloud Keychain directly from Safari. To get started, go into the Passwords section of Mac Settings (see above) and log in as necessary. Then, use the search box on the left side of the display to find the password information you wish to change. Click Edit . 

You can change the username and password for a website and add notes when applicable. After making a change, click Save . 

Click Delete Password to delete the password information. 

Thanks to iCloud, any changes you make here will also be reflected in other Apple devices that use your Apple ID. 

4. Using Autofill in Safari

Safari password

With AutoFill, you can fill in your previously saved usernames and website passwords. The tool is also a great way to add a new username/password combination for the first time and to create a strong password. 

You will see AutoFill pop up when a website asks you to create a password.

You will see an Autofill prompt In Safari when it's time to use or create a password. 

Click the AutoFill Key button, then choose Suggest New Password . For optimal security, you should use the suggested strong password. However, if you choose not to use the suggested password, you can easily select the password field, click “ Don’t Use ,” and enter your preferred password.

From there, enter the rest of the required information to create the website account.

Why use a separate password manager instead of a browser?

While most web browsers have their own password management feature, except for Safari which incorporates it into iCloud Keychain, in-browser password managers have limitations. They can only be used with one specific browser and cannot be accessed from other browsers. On the other hand, standalone password managers are compatible with any browser on your device, making them a more versatile option. Moreover, it is important to consider security when choosing a password manager. Browsers are not updated as frequently as standalone password managers, which can pose a security risk in case of a breach.

Does Safari have a built-in VPN?

Like many other browsers, Safari does not come with a pre-installed VPN. However, several reliable third-party VPNs like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and SurfShark can easily be integrated with Safari. With a VPN, you can significantly boost the security and privacy of your online activities.

Are browser password managers safe?

To guarantee the safety of your passwords, using browser password managers like Safari with encryption is a great first step. However, there are additional measures you can take to further enhance your protection. It is highly recommended to create a strong and secure master password. The newest optional feature in Microsoft Edge mandates that you input your master password before making any changes to the password manager, thereby adding an extra layer of security. Regularly backing up your password manager is also a wise precaution in case of loss or theft. Another crucial step is creating a Firefox profile, allowing content synchronization across devices. This ensures that any changes made on your computer are reflected on your mobile device and vice versa.

What is iCloud Keychain?

iCloud Keychain is a highly reliable password manager that securely stores sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details in an online vault as part of Apple’s iCloud suite of services. Users can easily access their stored data by simply logging in to the same iCloud account on any Apple device. Thanks to the end-to-end encryption feature, user data is protected and can only be accessed by the user, even in the unlikely event of an iCloud account breach. Furthermore, the two-factor authentication feature provides an extra layer of security to user accounts, ensuring that they remain safe and secure at all times.

What are Apple Passkeys?

Apple Passkeys hope to eliminate the need for passwords eventually. This authentication method adheres to industry standards and guarantees improved security features while streamlining the login experience.

Passkeys create a unique cryptographic key pair for every website or application you use. The website or app stores the public key while the private one remains on your device. When you log in, your device produces a cryptographic signature using the private key. The website or application can then authenticate your identity by verifying this signature. With Passkeys, you can rest assured that your online security is in good hands.

Like passwords, passkeys are kept in Apple's iCloud Keychain. 

The built-in Safari password manager, part of the iCloud Keychain, makes tracking website usernames and passwords easier. Better still, those items carry over to other Apple devices, including iPhone and iPad. In the coming years, Apple hopes to eliminate the need for passwords and replace them with more secure passkeys. However, username and password combinations remain the most popular choice for website authentication.

How to Import, Export and Manage Passwords in Safari Mac?

You need a username or email address and password to login into websites and apps. With hundreds of free and premium services available in this digital world, managing passwords is one of the biggest tasks for any user. Though password manage apps are available for Mac, it is an additional option that you need to use. The simple and best option is to use the in-built password management tools in Safari browser. If you are not familiar with Safari password manager, here we will explain how to use it effectively along with importing and exporting your passwords.

Safari Password Management in Mac

Similar to Google Chrome , Firefox and Edge, Apple provides an in-built password management tool in Safari for Mac and iPhone. However, unlike other browsers, Safari stores all the passwords in iCloud Keychain and synchronize across all your devices automatically. You can find all your passwords in the browser as well as open Keychain Access app in Mac to find them. Below are some of the prominent features of Safari password manager:

  • You can save passwords and synchronize across your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple devices signed in with the same iCloud account.
  • Edit and delete the stored passwords when needed.
  • Import and export passwords for bulk editing or moving to another Mac.
  • Check your passwords are compromised in data leak and update if required.
  • Find reused and easy passwords and update to improve your online security.

It is a comprehensive tool within the browser. However, anyone having your administrator password can view and edit the password entries. Therefore, make sure to use the tool on your personal Mac with single access and not in family or public machines.

Saving Passwords in Safari Mac

Whenever you login to a website with username and password, Safari will prompt you to save your password in the iCloud Keychain. Click on “Save Password” button to store the password in Keychain Access app and sync across all your logged in devices. You can also opt to ignore the prompt temporarily or never save the password for that site.

Save Password Prompt in Safari Mac

Opening Safari Password Manager

When you are in Safari browser, press “Command + ,” shortcut keys . Alternatively, go to “Safari” menu and select “Preferences…” option. This will open Safari settings dialog box and click on “Passwords” tab. You will see a message like below showing that the passwords are locked. Enter the admin password for your Mac to unlock the screen.

Safari Password Manager

Safari password manager will open up and show you all the saved passwords in the browser.

Safari Password Manager Section

Viewing Passwords in Keychain Access

As mentioned, you can also open Keychain Access app and manage the saved passwords in Safari browser. Use the search box to find the password for any website and double click on the entry.  

Manage Passwords in Keychain Access

On the pop-up, select “Show password” checkbox under “Attributes” tab. You need to enter the admin password to show the saved password for that website.

Show Safari Password in Keychain Access App

That’s being said, we will not discuss further about Keychain Access in this article and focus on managing passwords within Safari browser.

Finding Compromised Passwords in Data Breach

Similar to Google Chrome and Edge , Safari also offers the suggestion to show whether your passwords are compromised in previous data breaches. You will find the following security recommendations on the left sidebar just below the website name.

  • Compromised – your password was leaked in the previous data leak and you should immediately change it.
  • Reused – you will find this when using same password on multiple websites. It is recommended not to use the same password for multiple services so that all your accounts will not be affected in case of data leak.
  • Easily guessed – your password can be easily guessed by hackers and you should immediately change it.

You will also find a warning symbol next to the items with security issues. Click on any of the item that shows warning to get more details of the security recommendations. Make sure you have enabled, “Detect compromised passwords” checkbox so that you will find all the above security issues related to your passwords. Otherwise, Safari will not check your passwords for data leak.

View Security Recommendations

Copying Saved Password

There are multiple options to edit your passwords in Safari. First, select the item you want to change the password. Hover your mouse over the password field and Safari will show you the password. Click on “Copy Password” option to copy the password to your clipboard.

Copy Password

Changing and Deleting Passwords

The best option is to change the password on the website and update the same in Safari. For that, click on “Change Password on Website” button to open the corresponding website in a new tab. Now login with your old password and change it to new one as per the options provided by the website. You can use password generator tools to create strong password with symbols and special characters which is hard to guess.

Alternatively, you can directly edit the password in Safari and then update on the website. Click on “Edit” button to update your password and save the changes.  

Change or Delete Password

Click on “Delete Password” button if you want to delete the entry from the browser. Note that you can also share the password using AirDrop to anyone nearer to you.

Import and Export Passwords in Safari Mac

Though managing individual passwords is easy, sometimes you need to update the passwords in bulk. In this case, you can download the complete list of all your passwords in a CSV file, edit them and upload the file back in Safari. This is a good option since browsers like Chrome does not provide importing option .

  • When you are in the passwords section, click on the small down arrow showing below the passwords section on the left sidebar.
  • You will see two options – Import Passwords and Export Passwords.

Import and Export Passwords in Safari

  • Select “Export Passwords” to download the password file to your Mac. You will see a warning message like below indicating the passwords can be seen without any encryption in the downloaded file. Click on “Export Passwords…” button to continue.

Confirm Export Passwords in Safari

  • Select the location to save your password file and you will get another prompt to enter admin password. As you can see the message will ask you to confirm that Safari is trying to export passwords from iCloud Keychain. Enter you admin password and click “OK” button to download the file.

Safari Export Passwords from iCloud Keychain

  • By default, the file name will be “passwords.csv” which you can change during the download. Open the file using Numbers or Excel app and the file contains – title, URL, username, password and OTPAuth columns. Add or edit the data you want and save the file.

Edit Passwords in File

  • Now, go back to Safari password section, and click on “Import Passwords…” option.
  • Select your updated passwords file and import the data.

Remember, Safari will overwrite any existing entries and add the new entries. All your entries will be saved in iCloud Keychain and synchronized across all devices logged with same iCloud account .

Final Words

In our opinion, Safari password manager is sufficient to manage all your passwords when you use the Mac single handedly. However, when you have to share the Mac with others like family members, anyone having access to admin password can view and modify the passwords in Safari browser. If you do not want this, you may need to use a third-party app with a master password.

How to Make Mobile Safari Save Your Passwords on iOS

Ojash Yadav

Security experts are always reminding us that our online accounts should have strong passwords. The only problem is that remembering strong passwords for various accounts can be a real drag. Luckily, you can make Safari save your passwords on iOS so that the next time you need to sign in to your accounts, you won’t have to enter them again. In this tutorial, we show you how to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions

You might be wondering whether it is safe to save passwords on an iOS device. Yes, it is, as Apple uses its own utility known as Apple Keychain, which stores all your usernames and passwords and encrypts them so that only you can access them. In fact, even Apple can’t access your personal data. Here’s how to make Safari save your passwords on iPhone and iPad.

  • Go to the site whose credentials you want Safari to save.
  • Sign in as you usually would.

How To Make Mobile Safari Save Your Passwords On Ios Go To A Website

  • In the next window, you’ll be asked if you want to save the login information in iCloud Keychain for the next time. If you tap on “Save Password,” your credentials will be saved.

How To Make Mobile Safari Save Your Passwords On Ios Tap Save Password

The next time you visit the site, Safari will automatically fill in the information for you to sign in.

If you have multiple logins for that same website, you will see multiple options listed. Tap the one you want to use. If there’s a third, fourth, etc., that isn’t shown, click the “Passwords” link (just above your virtual keyboard). You’ll be able to find the correct one in your list of saved logins.

Moreover, if you ever change your password on the site, you will be asked whether you want to update your password.

Here’s how to manually add usernames and passwords to Safari’s AutoFill.

  • Open the “Settings” app on your iOS device.
  • Scroll down a bit and pick “Passwords.”

  • Fill in the information of the site you want to save.

  • Double-check for any mistakes and tap “Done.”

The passwords are used and saved not only in Safari but in other browsers and other apps as well, meaning data is saved for both web apps and mobile apps, such as Dropbox.

As a result, if you sign in to the Dropbox web app and save your login information in Safari or another browser, then open the Dropbox app later, it will use the same login information that you previously stored.

Let’s say you want to keep your passwords, sign-in emails, and usernames on Safari – it saves all three – but don’t want the browser to fill them in automatically. Here’s how to stop Safari from filling in your passwords.

  • To disable the autofill feature, go to “Settings” and select “Passwords” there.
  • Look for the option to toggle off the autofill for passwords and tap on it. As long as it’s off, you can keep your passwords saved in this section, but Safari won’t autofill them.

Why are my passwords not saving on my iPhone?

If your passwords are not saving on your iPhone, you need to recheck your settings to see if you have disabled the Keychain feature in iOS Settings accidentally. In the event that it’s enabled and Safari is still not saving your passwords, try clearing the saved cache data and cookies and revisit the website.

How does Apple know if my password is compromised?

Apple detects a compromised password by matching it up with a list of passwords that have appeared in a data leak. According to Apple, this feature uses strong cryptographic techniques to regularly check derivations of your passwords against a list of breached passwords in a secure and private way that doesn’t reveal your accounts or passwords to Apple.

Can I export the passwords Safari has saved?

Yes, you can export all the passwords Safari stores in Keychain and also import them to Chrome’s password manager . However, you can only do this on a Mac and not from your iPhone. To export a CSV file of your Safari passwords:

  • Open Safari and navigate to “Preferences-> Passwords.”
  • Enter your password when prompted.
  • Click on the three dots on the left sidebar, then on “Export All Passwords,” and save the CSV file to your computer.

Safari Web form passwords.

Create a new keychain in Keychain Access, name it Safari.

Copy the web form password's you want from the Local items keychain.

Paste the web form passwords into the newly created Safari keychain.

The password you will need to enter is the local password account, not the new password you created for the Safari keychain.

After completion of copying all Web Form account data to the new Safari keychain, go to

/Library/Keychains/

copy the Safari.keychain-db to a usb stick.

Safari Web form passwords:

On the new Apple, open keychain choose File add keychain, navigate to the Safari.keychain-db on the usb stick.

Keychain will ask you for the password, the password is the same that you used to create the Safari Keychain.

Goto safari, File, preferences, password, enter your login password for the account you are logged into.

Verify the Web Form passwords are intack.

Use quicktime screen record, screen record scrolling through all your Safari passwords in clear text in Safari.

Save the screen recording, you then scroll through the video to find the account credentials you need.

No.... reason why is that your passwords are stored in Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities

However, you can export keychain items and share them with another computer.

  • Open Keychain Access located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
  • Select the items you want to export in the Keychain Access window.
  • Choose File > Export Items. If the Export Items menu is grayed, then at least one of the items selected cannot be exported.
  • Select a location to save your keychain item, and choose a file type from the File Format pop-up menu. If you want to export a certificate with its private key, choose Personal Information Exchange (p12) as the file format.
  • Click Save.
  • Enter a password. The password is required to access the exported keychain items from another system.

To import keychains...

  • Choose File > Import Items.
  • Select the Keychain items file you want to import, then choose the keychain you want the imported items added to from the Destination Keychain pop-up menu, and then click Open

How do I "Select The Items"? There are All Items, Passwords, ... in the list. What, and how do I select the items if I want to Export the passwords from my Safari Web Browser?

I clicked the File > Export. And it's grayed.

Export Passwords from Safari to Ease the Move to a Password Manager

Although Apple has improved the built-in password management features in macOS and iOS (you can now add notes to password entries!), third-party password managers like 1Password and LastPass are still more capable. For those still getting started using a password manager, another new capability will ease the transition: Safari password export. To export a CSV file of your Safari passwords, choose Safari > Preferences > Passwords, and enter your password when prompted. From the bottom of the left-hand sidebar, click the ••• button, choose Export All Passwords, and save the Passwords.csv file to the Desktop. After you import the file into 1Password ( instructions ), LastPass ( instructions ), or another password manager, be sure to delete the exported file and empty the trash.

  • Only passwords will be imported. Credit cards, addresses, and other information won’t be imported.

Step 1: Export your iCloud Passwords on your Mac

Before you export your iCloud Passwords, temporarily turn off any backup software you may be using, so the unencrypted export file isn’t backed up.

To export your data from Safari, follow these steps on your Mac:

  • Open Safari and choose File > Export > Passwords from the menu bar.
  • Click Export Passwords .
  • Save the Passwords.csv file to your desktop and enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.

Step 2: Import your data into 1Password

To import your data on 1Password.com:

  • In Safari or another browser, sign in to your account on 1Password.com.

If you want to change anything about the import, like importing the data into a different vault, click Undo Import and start again.

If you have any credit cards, addresses, or other information saved in Safari, copy them manually into 1Password. Open 1Password on your computer or mobile device and click the button to add items.

After you’ve imported your information into 1Password, delete the unencrypted CSV file, then turn on any backup software you turned off earlier.

Step 3: Turn off the built-in password manager in Safari

To prevent Safari from interfering with 1Password, make sure you have the 1Password browser extension installed , then turn off the built-in password manager in Safari .

Step 4: Delete your iCloud Passwords

Safari will continue to fill saved passwords even after you turn off the built-in password manager. To fill your passwords with 1Password instead of Safari, delete your saved iCloud Passwords.

Following these steps will permanently delete your iCloud Passwords, and you won’t be able to recover them. Make sure all your iCloud Passwords are saved in 1Password before you delete them.

To delete your iCloud Passwords, follow these steps on your Mac:

  • Open Safari and choose Safari > Settings from the menu bar.
  • Click the Passwords icon, then enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
  • Select a password you want to delete. To delete all your passwords, choose Edit > Select All from the menu bar (or press Command-A).
