Microsoft Edge to Proton Pass converter

Microsoft Edge and Proton Pass both use CSV, but Microsoft Edge writes 5 columns; Proton Pass expects 11 in a different order — so Proton Pass rejects a raw Edge export or silently files everything into the wrong fields. Drop your export below and get back a file Proton Pass accepts.

Convert your Microsoft Edge export

Drop your Microsoft Edge CSV here or click to choose a file — nothing is uploaded

The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript. Your file is never sent to a server — you can confirm it by opening your browser's Network tab, or by turning off Wi-Fi before you drop the file in. Prefer not to do this in a browser tab at all? Download the converter and run it from your own disk.

Your export file is plaintext. Both the file Microsoft Edge gives you and the one you download here contain every password in readable form. Delete them as soon as the import is verified, and empty your trash.

What's actually different between the two formats

Every column Edge exports has a counterpart in Proton Pass, but they come out in a different order, and Proton Pass expects 6 more columns that Edge never writes. A CSV importer reads by position as much as by name, so the file still needs rebuilding.

Step 1 — Export from Microsoft Edge

  1. Open Edge and go to edge://settings/passwords.
  2. Select the ••• menu next to Saved passwords → Export passwords.
  3. Confirm with your Windows account password or PIN.
  4. Save the CSV.

Step 2 — Convert it

Drop the file onto the converter above. It parses Microsoft Edge's layout, maps each field onto the universal record, then writes Proton Pass's exact expected columns — including the empty ones its importer requires and, where the two differ, the right shape for 2FA secrets. You'll see a preview and a list of anything Proton Pass can't hold before you download.

Rather not put this file in a browser tab connected to the internet? The same converter is available as a single HTML file you can download and open with your network switched off.

Step 3 — Import into Proton Pass

  1. Open Proton Pass → Settings → Import.
  2. Choose the matching source, or "Generic CSV" if the source is not listed.
  3. Upload the converted file and pick a destination vault.

Step 4 — Verify and clean up

  1. Open ten entries in Proton Pass at random and check them against Microsoft Edge.
  2. Sign in to one real site using Proton Pass to confirm autofill works.
  3. Delete both CSV files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, confirm the deletion propagated there too.
  4. Only then close your Microsoft Edge account — and change any password you suspect was exposed while the plaintext file existed.

Questions

Why won't Proton Pass import my Microsoft Edge file directly?

Every column Edge exports has a counterpart in Proton Pass, but they come out in a different order, and Proton Pass expects 6 more columns that Edge never writes. A CSV importer reads by position as much as by name, so the file still needs rebuilding. The converter rewrites the file into Proton Pass's exact expected layout, including the column order and any empty columns its importer requires.

Do my passwords get uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion is JavaScript running in your own browser tab — the file is read with the FileReader API, transformed in memory, and handed back to you as a download. There is no upload, no server-side processing and no analytics attached to the file. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet before you drop the file in: the conversion still works.

Does anything get lost moving from Microsoft Edge to Proton Pass?

Proton Pass supports every field Microsoft Edge exports, so a standard login entry survives intact — name, username, password, URL, notes, folder and 2FA secret. File attachments are the exception: no CSV export from any manager includes them, so download those separately before you close your Microsoft Edge account.

Is the export file from Microsoft Edge encrypted?

No. A Microsoft Edge CSV export is plaintext — every password in it is readable by anything that can open the file, including other apps on your machine and anything that syncs your Downloads folder to the cloud. Convert it, import it, then delete both files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, check that the deletion propagated.

Anything unusual about Microsoft Edge's export?

Edge uses the same five-column Chromium layout as Chrome, so files are interchangeable between them.

Anything unusual about importing into Proton Pass?

Proton Pass splits identity between email and username. If your source only has one login field, the converter puts an address that looks like an email in the email column and everything else in username.
