Apple Passwords to RoboForm converter

Apple Passwords and RoboForm both use CSV, but Apple Passwords writes 6 columns; RoboForm expects 7 in a different order — so RoboForm rejects a raw Apple export or silently files everything into the wrong fields. Drop your export below and get back a file RoboForm accepts.

Convert your Apple Passwords export

Drop your Apple Passwords CSV here or click to choose a file — nothing is uploaded

The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript. Your file is never sent to a server — you can confirm it by opening your browser's Network tab, or by turning off Wi-Fi before you drop the file in. Prefer not to do this in a browser tab at all? Download the converter and run it from your own disk.

Your export file is plaintext. Both the file Apple Passwords gives you and the one you download here contain every password in readable form. Delete them as soon as the import is verified, and empty your trash.

What's actually different between the two formats

Only 1 of 6 column names match (url), and they're in a different order — enough for RoboForm to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields.

Apple Passwords column	RoboForm column	What happens
`Title`	`Name`	Renamed and repositioned
`Username`	`Login`	Renamed and repositioned
`Password`	`Pwd`	Renamed and repositioned
`URL`	`Url`	Renamed and repositioned
`OTPAuth`	`— none —`	RoboForm has no 2fa secret field. Written into notes instead of dropped.
`Notes`	`Note`	Renamed and repositioned
`— none —`	`Folder`	Left empty — Apple exports nothing for this.

Folders / groups	No	Yes	Not in the source file
Two-factor (TOTP) secrets	Yes	Yes	Carried over

Step 1 — Export from Apple Passwords

Open the Passwords app on macOS Sequoia or later (on older macOS: Safari → Settings → Passwords).
Choose File → Export All Passwords… from the menu bar.
Confirm with Touch ID or your Mac login password.
Save Passwords.csv.

Watch out for

Export and import are Mac-only. There is no way to do either from iPhone or iPad.
Apple keeps TOTP codes in the OTPAuth column as full otpauth:// URIs, not bare secrets. Bare secrets will not be recognized.

Step 2 — Convert it

Drop the file onto the converter above. It parses Apple Passwords's layout, maps each field onto the universal record, then writes RoboForm's exact expected columns — including the empty ones its importer requires and, where the two differ, the right shape for 2FA secrets. You'll see a preview and a list of anything RoboForm can't hold before you download.

Rather not put this file in a browser tab connected to the internet? The same converter is available as a single HTML file you can download and open with your network switched off.

Step 3 — Import into RoboForm

Open RoboForm → Options → Account & Data → Import.
Choose "Other" → CSV file.
Select the converted file.

Watch out for

The RfFieldsV2 column packs every extra form field into one delimited blob. It is RoboForm-specific and cannot be read by any other manager — the converter unpacks what it can into notes.
Export requires the Windows or macOS desktop editor; the extension alone will not do it.

Step 4 — Verify and clean up

Open ten entries in RoboForm at random and check them against Apple Passwords.
Generate a 2FA code for one account in RoboForm and confirm it matches Apple. A TOTP secret that imported wrong fails silently until you're locked out.
Sign in to one real site using RoboForm to confirm autofill works.
Delete both CSV files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, confirm the deletion propagated there too.
Only then close your Apple Passwords account — and change any password you suspect was exposed while the plaintext file existed.

Questions

Why won't RoboForm import my Apple Passwords file directly?

Only 1 of 6 column names match (url), and they're in a different order — enough for RoboForm to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields. The converter rewrites the file into RoboForm's exact expected layout, including the column order and any empty columns its importer requires.

Do my passwords get uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion is JavaScript running in your own browser tab — the file is read with the FileReader API, transformed in memory, and handed back to you as a download. There is no upload, no server-side processing and no analytics attached to the file. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet before you drop the file in: the conversion still works.

Does anything get lost moving from Apple Passwords to RoboForm?

RoboForm supports every field Apple Passwords exports, so a standard login entry survives intact — name, username, password, URL, notes, folder and 2FA secret. File attachments are the exception: no CSV export from any manager includes them, so download those separately before you close your Apple Passwords account.

Will my two-factor codes still work after the move?

Yes, as long as Apple Passwords exported the secrets. Apple Passwords and RoboForm store them in different shapes — one uses a bare Base32 secret, the other a full otpauth:// URI — and the converter translates between them, which is the step most manual migrations get wrong. Check a couple of codes against your old vault before you delete it, since a TOTP secret that fails to import is silent until you're locked out.

Is the export file from Apple Passwords encrypted?

No. An Apple Passwords CSV export is plaintext — every password in it is readable by anything that can open the file, including other apps on your machine and anything that syncs your Downloads folder to the cloud. Convert it, import it, then delete both files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, check that the deletion propagated.

Anything unusual about Apple Passwords's export?

Export and import are Mac-only. There is no way to do either from iPhone or iPad.

Anything unusual about importing into RoboForm?

The RfFieldsV2 column packs every extra form field into one delimited blob. It is RoboForm-specific and cannot be read by any other manager — the converter unpacks what it can into notes.
