How to move your passwords to Inlockly - from your browser or another password manager
Switching to a new password manager doesn't mean retyping everything. Here's how to move your passwords - 2FA codes included - without leaving any copies behind.
Contents
Where you can import passwords from
Inlockly imports data from:
- browsers - Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Opera,
- password managers - 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, Dashlane, RoboForm, KeePass, and more,
- an Inlockly backup - an
.inlocklyfile protected by a separate password.
Import is available on every plan, including Free. You’ll find it on the welcome screen after you first sign in (“Already keeping passwords somewhere else?”) and in Settings → Import & export.
Import step by step
- Choose a source. For each one, Inlockly shows you how to export your data.
- Select the file. The format is recognized from the file’s contents, not its name.
- Review the preview. You’ll see what’s already in your vault and what has a different password
- and decide what to import. Duplicates won’t end up in your vault twice.
- Choose a vault. Private, family, or company. Imported items get a tag with their source, so they’re easy to review later.
Everything happens on your device: the file is read locally, and your data is encrypted before it reaches the cloud.
Your 2FA codes come along too
If your previous password manager exports 2FA keys (for example, a CSV with a TOTP column, .1pux,
or .kdbx), they go into your items along with the passwords. To move codes from an authenticator
app, use the “Move 2FA codes” wizard: an export from Google Authenticator, a file from Aegis,
2FAS, or Ente Auth, or a list of otpauth:// URIs. Inlockly matches the codes to your saved logins
automatically.
2FA codes in items are generated on the Personal plan and up. On the Free plan, you can save the 2FA key - the codes start generating once you upgrade.
After importing: clean up
- Delete the export file from your disk and trash - it contains passwords in plain text.
- Turn off password saving in your browser and delete the old entries there.
- Open SafetyMeter™ (Personal plan and up) and check which passwords are weak or reused.
