To access and add passwords, youhadto use Safari, and there was no reliable way to export passwords.
But slowly, iCloud Keychain (or iCloud Passwords) is becoming less of a walled garden.

This change means its now easier to move in and out of iCloud Keychain, depending on your needs.
Heres how it works.
hit the three-dottedMenubutton in the bottom toolbar, and choose the Import Passwords option.
Choose the CSV file and poke the Import button.
Youll be asked to authenticate using your password or Touch ID.
Once you do that, the passwords will be imported to your iCloud Keychain.
There will be no way to recover this file.
Thats finally easy to do.
Go toSystem Preferences>Passwordsand authenticate with your admin password or Touch ID.
Then, hit the three-dottedMenubutton in the bottom toolbar, and choose the Export Passwords option.
From the popup, click Export Passwords.
Choose the location, and hit the Save button.
Authenticate using your admin password or Touch ID.
All your passwords will now be exported to the location.
Where should you go with your passwords now?
Armed with the CSV file filled with all your usernames and passwords, you could go anywhere you want.
you’re able to try any password manager or online window with all your personal data.
But there are a lot of choices now.
