Note: On older versions of Windows, this setting may be found in Control Panel or Settings.


Converting a File to CSV

If your export is not already a CSV file:

  1. Open the file in Excel, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet app

  2. Click File → Save As or Download

  3. Choose CSV as the file format

  4. Save the file with a .csv extension

You can now import the file into Cloaked.


Importing Passwords into Cloaked

Once you’ve exported your passwords as a CSV file:

After confirming that your passwords were successfully imported into Cloaked, we strongly recommend deleting the CSV file from your device to prevent others from accessing your credentials.
