Keeper to Apple Passwords converter

Keeper and Apple Passwords both use CSV, but the two formats don't line up — so Apple rejects a raw Keeper export or silently files everything into the wrong fields. Drop your export below and get back a file Apple accepts.

Convert your Keeper export

Drop your Keeper 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 Keeper 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

Keeper exports without a header row, so the destination has no way to know which column is which.

Keeper column	Apple Passwords column	What happens
`column 2`	`Title`	Renamed and repositioned
`column 3`	`Username`	Renamed and repositioned
`column 4`	`Password`	Renamed and repositioned
`column 5`	`URL`	Renamed and repositioned
`— none —`	`OTPAuth`	Left empty — Keeper exports nothing for this.
`column 6`	`Notes`	Renamed and repositioned
`column 1`	`— none —`	Apple has no folder field. Written into notes instead of dropped.

What carries over

Field	Keeper	Apple	Result
Item name / title	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Username and password	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Website URL	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Notes	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Folders / groups	Yes	No	Written into the notes field as "Folder: …" so you can re-sort later.
Two-factor (TOTP) secrets	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Favorites	No	No	Not in the source file
Custom fields	Yes	No	Flattened into notes as name: value pairs.
Multiple URLs per entry	No	No	Not in the source file
File attachments	Yes	No	No CSV export includes attachments. Download them out of Keeper separately before you close the account — this is the one thing people lose permanently.

Step 1 — Export from Keeper

Sign in to the Keeper Web Vault.
Open the account menu → Settings → Export.
Choose the .csv format and confirm.

Watch out for

Keeper CSV has no header row. The column order is fixed: folder, title, login, password, website, notes, shared folder, then custom field name/value pairs. Adding a header row makes Keeper import it as an entry.
Subfolders use a backslash: Work\Clients. Forward slashes stay literal.

Step 2 — Convert it

Drop the file onto the converter above. It parses Keeper's layout, maps each field onto the universal record, then writes Apple Passwords'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 Apple 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 Apple Passwords

Open the Passwords app on your Mac.
Choose File → Import Passwords…
Select the converted CSV and confirm.

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 4 — Verify and clean up

Open ten entries in Apple Passwords at random and check them against Keeper.
Generate a 2FA code for one account in Apple and confirm it matches Keeper. A TOTP secret that imported wrong fails silently until you're locked out.
Your folder names were written into each entry's note. Re-sort them however Apple organizes items.
Sign in to one real site using Apple Passwords 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 Keeper account — and change any password you suspect was exposed while the plaintext file existed.

Questions

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

Keeper exports without a header row, so the destination has no way to know which column is which. The converter rewrites the file into Apple Passwords'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.

What gets lost moving from Keeper to Apple Passwords?

Apple Passwords can't natively store: folders / groups, custom fields, file attachments. Rather than drop that data, the converter writes it into the notes field where Apple has one, so you can move it back by hand. Keep your Keeper account active until you've confirmed everything you need made it across.

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

Yes, as long as Keeper exported the secrets. Keeper and Apple Passwords 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 Keeper encrypted?

No. A Keeper 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 Keeper's export?

Keeper CSV has no header row. The column order is fixed: folder, title, login, password, website, notes, shared folder, then custom field name/value pairs. Adding a header row makes Keeper import it as an entry.

Anything unusual about importing into Apple Passwords?

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