NordPass to KeePassXC converter

NordPass and KeePassXC both use CSV, but NordPass writes 20 columns; KeePassXC expects 7 in a different order — so KeePassXC rejects a raw NordPass export or silently files everything into the wrong fields. Drop your export below and get back a file KeePassXC accepts.

Convert your NordPass export

Drop your NordPass 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 NordPass 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 4 of 20 column names match (url, username, password), and they're in a different order — enough for KeePassXC to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields.

NordPass column	KeePassXC column	What happens
`name`	`Title`	Renamed and repositioned
`username`	`Username`	Renamed and repositioned
`password`	`Password`	Renamed and repositioned
`url`	`URL`	Renamed and repositioned
`totp`	`TOTP`	Renamed and repositioned
`note`	`Notes`	Renamed and repositioned
`folder`	`Group`	Renamed and repositioned

Step 1 — Export from NordPass

Open the NordPass desktop app or browser extension and unlock your vault.
Go to Settings → Export items.
Confirm with your Master Password.
Save the CSV file.

Watch out for

NordPass uses one very wide CSV covering logins, cards and identities in the same sheet. Empty columns are required, not optional — dropping them breaks the import.
Different NordPass versions have shipped slightly different column sets. The converter writes the current layout and pads anything missing.

Step 2 — Convert it

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

In KeePassXC choose Database → Import → CSV file.
Select the converted file.
Confirm the column mapping in the preview — KeePassXC lets you assign each column by hand.
Set a master password for the new database.

Watch out for

KeePassXC CSV export writes attachments and entry history nowhere — if you need those, keep the .kdbx file as your archive.
Group paths use a forward slash and include the database root, e.g. Passwords/Work. Strip or keep the root depending on where you want entries to land.

Step 4 — Verify and clean up

Open ten entries in KeePassXC at random and check them against NordPass.
Generate a 2FA code for one account in KeePassXC and confirm it matches NordPass. A TOTP secret that imported wrong fails silently until you're locked out.
Sign in to one real site using KeePassXC 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 NordPass account — and change any password you suspect was exposed while the plaintext file existed.

Questions

Why won't KeePassXC import my NordPass file directly?

Only 4 of 20 column names match (url, username, password), and they're in a different order — enough for KeePassXC to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields. The converter rewrites the file into KeePassXC'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 NordPass to KeePassXC?

KeePassXC supports every field NordPass 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 NordPass account.

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

Yes, as long as NordPass exported the secrets. NordPass and KeePassXC 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 NordPass encrypted?

No. A NordPass 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 NordPass's export?

NordPass uses one very wide CSV covering logins, cards and identities in the same sheet. Empty columns are required, not optional — dropping them breaks the import.

Anything unusual about importing into KeePassXC?

KeePassXC CSV export writes attachments and entry history nowhere — if you need those, keep the .kdbx file as your archive.
