RoboForm to Microsoft Edge converter

RoboForm and Microsoft Edge both use CSV, but RoboForm writes 8 columns; Microsoft Edge expects 5 in a different order — so Edge rejects a raw RoboForm export or silently files everything into the wrong fields. Drop your export below and get back a file Edge accepts.

Convert your RoboForm export

Drop your RoboForm 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 RoboForm 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 3 of 8 column names match (name, url, note), and they're in a different order — enough for Edge to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields.

Folder — none — Edge has no folder field. Written into notes instead of dropped.

Step 2 — Convert it

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

  1. Go to edge://settings/passwords.
  2. Select the ••• menu → Import passwords → choose CSV file.
  3. Pick the converted file.

Step 4 — Verify and clean up

  1. Open ten entries in Microsoft Edge at random and check them against RoboForm.
  2. Your folder names were written into each entry's note. Re-sort them however Edge organizes items.
  3. Sign in to one real site using Microsoft Edge to confirm autofill works.
  4. Delete both CSV files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, confirm the deletion propagated there too.
  5. Only then close your RoboForm account — and change any password you suspect was exposed while the plaintext file existed.

Questions

Why won't Microsoft Edge import my RoboForm file directly?

Only 3 of 8 column names match (name, url, note), and they're in a different order — enough for Edge to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields. The converter rewrites the file into Microsoft Edge'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 RoboForm to Microsoft Edge?

Microsoft Edge can't natively store: folders / groups, two-factor (totp) secrets, custom fields. Rather than drop that data, the converter writes it into the notes field where Edge has one, so you can move it back by hand. Keep your RoboForm account active until you've confirmed everything you need made it across.

Can I keep my 2FA codes in Microsoft Edge?

No — Microsoft Edge has no field for TOTP secrets at all. The converter puts each secret into the entry's note so it isn't lost, but Edge won't generate codes from it. Move those to a dedicated authenticator app before you shut down RoboForm, or pick a target that supports them.

Is the export file from RoboForm encrypted?

No. A RoboForm 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 RoboForm's export?

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.

Anything unusual about importing into Microsoft Edge?

Edge uses the same five-column Chromium layout as Chrome, so files are interchangeable between them.
