If you have attempted to use Keeper's automated import tool and have been unsuccessful, or you are running Linux OS, follow the directions below to complete the process manually. You will first need to perform a manual export of your passwords from Chrome and then import the file to Keeper as a Text File (.csv).

Export

  1. Click the menu icon in the upper-right corner of your browser window (three vertical dots) and select Passwords and Autofill > Google Password Manager.

  1. From the left menu select Settings.

  2. Next to "Export Passwords" click Download File.

  3. Save as a .csv file to you computer.

Import

  1. Log into the Keeper Web Vault or Desktop App.

  2. From the Account Dropdown Menu, click Settings.

  3. Click Import > Import (next to "Use Another Source") and from the dropdown menu select Text File.

  4. Drag-and-drop the exported .csv file onto Keeper's "Drop a File Here" window or browse for the file on your computer. Check the box if your file includes column headers, otherwise, the first row will be treated as data.

  5. Once you have imported your credentials using one of the methods above, you can customize how you would like the information to appear in your vault in the field mapping screen. Here you'll see standard field names across the top that “map” to the data below for each Keeper record.

    To adjust these mappings:

    • Click any field to open a dropdown menu

    • Select the appropriate field name from the list. Repeat this process across each column as needed

    • Click Next to finalize your selections.

  6. Next, a summary screen will display a preview of your vault, showing the folder structure of your imported records. Here you can adjust the folder structure and click into individual records to preview their details before finalizing the import. Click Confirm Import to complete the import process.
