Move your iCloud Passwords from Safari to 1Password

Transfer your passwords from Safari on your Mac into 1Password using the 1Password apps or on 1Password.com.

Tip

To export your iCloud Passwords, you’ll need a Mac with Safari 15 or later. You can’t export iCloud Passwords using Windows at this time.

1Password can import your iCloud Passwords from Safari on your Mac. When you import iCloud Passwords:

  • Your iCloud Passwords will be converted into 1Password Login items.
  • Only passwords will be imported. Credit cards, addresses, and other information won’t be imported.

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.
