# Importing password from browser to 1password

This article will show you how to import passwords from chrome or edge to 1password.

1. In the 1password app select the 3 dots at the top left corner of the screen and select "import". [![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/scaled-1680-/r1yimage.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/r1yimage.png)
2. Select your browser and click on the link. For this one we will do chrome. See below for Edge. [![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/scaled-1680-/A3Uimage.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/A3Uimage.png)

4. The next will ask you to select which vault you would like to store your passwords. As these are your personal passwords select your "Employee" vault as you are the only person that can see this vault.
5. Then drag and drop the file you downloaded earlier.  and hit continue.[![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/scaled-1680-/alsimage.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/alsimage.png)

[![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/scaled-1680-/oVHimage.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/oVHimage.png)
2. Select the "advanced tab", specify range as "all-time", and only select the checkbox "passwords and other sign-in data" and select "delete data".

# Enable TOTP (Time-based one-time password)

Some websites/programs allow the use of TOTP as an extra layer of security to authenticate. This article will show you how to do that with 1password. In this example I will be using discord.

1. Login to your desired app as per normal and look for anywhere that says MFA or authenticator app. [![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/ZQzimage.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/ZQzimage.png)
2. Follow the prompts until the website/app displays a QR code. [![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/Tv8image.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/Tv8image.png)
3. Open 1pass in the browser extension, click the 3 dots and select "scan QR code". [![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/8mEimage.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/8mEimage.png)
4. The new TOTP will appear in 1pass, here we can use it to activate it. [![image.png](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/QAhimage.png)](https://bookstack.pbr.org.au/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/QAhimage.png)
5. The process to find MFA will differ from website to website, but the 1pass activation with the QR code will be the same.
