  4. If you don’t have an exported CSV, you can copy each login from your existing password manager to the template CSV. Don’t remove or change the header row. When you finish, verify the integrity of your data before you send the data to Authenticator on your iOS or Android phone, or to the Microsoft Autofill Chrome Extension.

Step 2 - Import your passwords to Microsoft Authenticator or Microsoft Autofill Chrome extension.

Tip: The Microsoft Autofill Chrome extension automatically syncs with the Microsoft Authenticator app. If you import your passwords to the Chrome extension, they'll automatically be available on any mobile devices you're signed into Microsoft Authenticator on.

Troubleshooting steps

The most common cause of failed imports is incorrect formatting in the CSV file. One of the following steps could help you troubleshoot the issue.

  • Retry step 1. Hopefully whatever caused the bad formatting was a temporary issue.

  • If we don’t currently support importing the format of your password manager, you could try creating your CSV file manually using the steps in Export by creating a CSV, above.

  • To verify the integrity of CSV data, ensure that the first row contains a header with three columns: URLusername, and password, and ensure that each row contains a value in the URL and password columns.

  • You can recreate the CSV by pasting your content in the CSV template file.
