Switch from Google Passwords to Lockbox

This takes about 30 seconds. Your passwords are encrypted from the moment they enter Lockbox.

local first

Google stores your passwords on their servers. Lockbox keeps your vault on your device, encrypted with your master password, and cloud sync is optional and end-to-end encrypted. Your data never leaves your phone.

Part 1: Export from Google Passwords

Open Google Passwords on your computer

Open Chrome or go to passwords.google.com.

Go to File > Export

Go to passwords.google.com, click the gear icon, then Export passwords.

passwords.google.com > Settings > Export

Choose CSV format

Select "CSV" as the export format. Google will ask you to verify your Google account password to confirm.

Save the file

Save it somewhere you can find it. Desktop is fine. You'll delete this file after import.

Important: The exported CSV contains your passwords in plain text. Import it into Lockbox immediately and delete the file afterwards.

Part 2: Import into Lockbox

Open Lockbox

If you don't have it yet, download Lockbox for iOS, Android, or Chrome.

Go to Settings > Import

Tap the Settings tab, then tap "Import passwords (CSV)" and choose the file you just exported. Lockbox detects which app it came from automatically.

Settings > Import passwords (CSV)

Pick your CSV file

Select the CSV you exported from Google Passwords. Lockbox automatically detects the format and maps the columns.

Import and check the result

Lockbox imports the file and then tells you how many passwords were added and how many duplicates it skipped. If anything could not be imported it says so, and how many.

Verification

After import, Lockbox tells you what it did: "12 passwords imported." It only mentions duplicates when it actually skipped some, so a clean import says nothing about them. If any were left out because your free vault is full, it says that too, and tells you to keep your file.

Open your vault and scroll through. Verify your important accounts are there: email, bank, social media.

If everything looks right, delete the CSV file from your computer.

Part 3: Disable Google password saving

Only do this after you have verified all your passwords are in Lockbox.

1.Open Chrome on your computer or phone

2.Go to Chrome Settings > Passwords (or visit passwords.google.com)

3.Turn off "Offer to save passwords"

4.Google Passwords is free and built into Chrome. There is nothing to cancel or uninstall.

Your existing Google Password entries will remain in your Google account but Chrome will no longer prompt to save new ones. You can delete individual entries from passwords.google.com if desired.
