How To Export IOS Passwords
Step 1
First off, in order to complete this process, you'll need access to a MacBook handy as Apple does not allow you to export passwords directly from your iPhone.
Once you have got your MacBook ready, you'll need to log in to your iCloud account that is associated with the iPhone you're moving your passwords from.
Step 2
Once you're logged in, you then need to open up "System Preferences" and then click on the "Passwords" icon.
Step 3
In order to access passwords, you'll have to re-enter your computer login for security purposes.
Step 4
Now, left-click on the first password and then scroll down to the bottom, hold shift and then left-click on the final password.
After doing this, all of your passwords should now be selected.
Step 5
With all of your passwords selected, click on the ellipsis circle icon and then select the "Export Passwords" option.
Step 6
You will then need to confirm that you want to do this and re-enter your password to confirm once more.
You can then rename and save the .cvs file to your desktop.
Now you have exported your passwords from your IOS device, you can then import them using either your Google Account or a password manager.
