Import Passwords from CSV file

I'm trying to import password from a CSV file in Safari. After trying many things with no success (always getting the error that the passwords could not be imported because of the format of the CSV), I wanted to get the "basic" case possible. So I went to the Passwords settings in Safari and exported what I have. This saves a CSV with my current passwords (so I thought the CSV format would be the expected one for importing).

I opened this file in Numbers and removed all the rows minus one, which I edited to add a "test", like this:

Now, when I try to import this one I also get the same error:



I also tried different things like filling the OTPAuth with content or even delete it. No luck.

What am I doing wrong? I just saved the file that Safari gives you and tried to imported again 🤔

I'm out of ideas here... any help will be highly appreciated.


Thanks!

Experienced the same problem and resolved it by exporting the CSV file from password export option and then by populating this CSV file with the password data. Note: do not edit or change the labels (first row) and it should work.
