Quick Answer — Can you directly transfer passwords from iPhone to Android?
No. There is no one-tap “transfer” between iCloud Keychain and Android. The reliable workaround is:
(A) export iCloud Keychain on a Mac and import to Google Password Manager (syncs to Android), or
(B) use a cross-platform password manager app to sync passwords to Android without a Mac.

Method 1: Transfer via Mac & Google Account (Core Method)

Use a Mac to export passwords from iCloud Keychain as a CSV, then import into your Google Password Manager. Your passwords will sync to your Android and autofill in Chrome/compatible apps.

Step 1 — On your Mac: Open System Settings > Passwords (older macOS: System Preferences > Passwords). Authenticate, click the menu, and choose Export Passwords.

Step 2 — Save the CSV: Confirm export and save the .csv file to a secure location on your Mac.

⚠️ Security Warning

The exported CSV is unencrypted. Keep it offline, do not email it, and delete it securely from all devices once you finish importing.

Step 3 — Import to Google: Visit Google Account > Security > Password Manager > Settings > Import, then select your CSV.

Step 4 — On your Android: Sign in with the same Google account. Ensure Autofill > Google is enabled in system settings. Your passwords will sync automatically.

Tip: If you used Chrome on iPhone and saved some passwords in your Google account already, they’ll appear immediately on Android after you sign in.

Method 2: Transfer without a Mac using Password Manager Apps

If you don’t have access to a Mac, the most secure way is to use a trusted cross-platform password manager such as 1Password, LastPass, or Dashlane. You add or import passwords into the manager on iPhone, then sign in on Android to sync.

  1. On your iPhone: Install your chosen manager from the App Store and create/sign in to your account. Turn on Password AutoFill for that app in Settings > Passwords > Password Options.
  2. Add/Import passwords into the vault: Most managers offer Import in their web vault. If you can access a PC, you can import a CSV there; otherwise, add critical logins manually (as you sign in, the manager will prompt to save).
  3. On your Android: Install the same manager, sign in, and enable its Autofill service. Your items sync automatically.

Why this works: These apps maintain an encrypted, cross-platform vault that syncs across iOS and Android, bypassing the lack of a direct iCloud Keychain → Android transfer.

If you want to transfer your iPhone passwords to Android without a Mac, using a cross-platform manager is the recommended way.

Bonus: Transferring Other Data (Photos, SMS, WhatsApp, etc.)

While passwords require the methods above, you can move everything else—photos, videos, contacts, SMS, and even WhatsApp—using a dedicated transfer tool.

FAQs

  • Q: Can I directly transfer iCloud Keychain passwords to Android?

    A: No. There is no direct, built-in transfer from iCloud Keychain to Android's native password manager. The two most reliable methods are: 1) Exporting via a Mac and importing into Google Password Manager, or 2) Using a secure, cross-platform password manager application like 1Password or LastPass.

  • Q: How do I move passwords from iPhone to Android without a Mac?

    A: Use a cross-platform manager (1Password/LastPass/Dashlane): install on iPhone → add/import passwords → install on Android → sign in and enable Autofill.

  • Q: How do I import my iPhone passwords into Samsung Pass?

    A: Samsung Pass doesn’t provide a direct CSV import. Use the Google Password Manager method above; Google Autofill works across Chrome and many apps on Samsung devices and is the most practical alternative.

  • Q: How to transfer saved Apple passwords to Android?

    A: Your saved Apple (iCloud Keychain) passwords can be transferred to Android by first exporting them as a CSV file from a Mac (via System Settings > Passwords) and then importing that CSV file directly into Google Password Manager. This allows them to sync to any Android device linked to that Google Account.

  • Q: Is exporting to CSV safe?

    A: CSV is unencrypted. Import it immediately, keep it offline, and securely delete the file afterward.

  • Q: Where can I see saved passwords on my iPhone?

    A: Go to Settings > Passwords (authenticate) to view, copy, or edit saved items.
