Small tool for adding exported credentials from Chrome to macOS keychain

сsv2keychain

PyPI Python

About

Small command-line tool for adding exported credentials (login/password pairs) from Chrome to the macOS keychain.

Note: As of macOS High Sierra (v10.13) Safari is able to import bookmarks, history and passwords from Chrome and Firefox: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/import-bookmarks-history-and-passwords-ibrw1015/mac.

The passwords are stored in the (iCloud) keychain. It is therefore not necessary to use csv2keychain for this use case, especially since the tool is not able to import to the iCloud keychain (see #9).

Installing

You can install the package via pip.

$ pip3 install cmdline-csv2keychain

Preparing credentials from Chrome

  1. To use this tool you should manually export credentials from Google Chrome into .csv file. In the browser, switch to chrome://flags/#PasswordExport and enable option #PasswordExport. UPD: seems that last versions of Chrome enables this feature by default. So you can omit this step.

  2. Reload Chrome

  3. Go to chrome://settings/passwords, click Other actions button (three dots, to the right of Saved Passwords text), then click Export and save the .csv file in any convinient location.

How to use

$ csv2keychain [path.csv] [-u] [-s]
  • -u - update existing password for every account in keychain, if any
  • -s - display credentials on the screen during the process

Example

$ csv2keychain ~/Desktop/Chrome\ Passwords.csv -s

Now your Chrome passwords are available for Safari & other apps. :)
