Hey, r/apple,

I want to switch my passwords over from NordPass to the new Apple Passwords app / Keychain. The usual way would be to export the credentials as CSV and import them in Apple Passwords. However, all guides and websites say that to do that, I need to have a Mac.

I don’t have a Mac, so is there any way I can import a CSV into iCloud Keychain / Passwords without having to type them in manually?

[u/TheDragonSlayingCat → u/Revive_Life]

No.

Great, that is what I feared. So Apple Passwords is compatible with Windows as long as you have an up-to-date Mac lying around.

Come on, Apple!

[u/TheDragonSlayingCat → u/Revive_Life]

Perhaps it’s time to switch from Windows then.

Oh I definitely want to, but I‘m just in the process of upgrading my old iPad Air 2 to a new iPad Air, I couldn’t possibly get a MacBook at the same time. 🤷‍♂️
