importing passwords from dashlane to passwords app

I followed instructions to download csv file from dashlane and then import that into passwords app. However, it says "Passwords could not import passwords from the CSV file because it is missing column labels.

If you exported this file from a password manager, export a new file using different settings and try the import again."


Any idea how to fix this without manually entering every single one?

You can open the CSV file in Excel, Numbers or some other spreadsheet app, add a new row at the top and enter labels in each column in that row, then save or export the spreadsheet as a CSV file and import that into the password app.


However, the following article (which is about exporting from Dashlane and then importing into 1Password rather than the Apple Password app) indicates that the lack of column labels may not be the only issue with the Dashlane export. https://casabona.org/2016/08/export-dashlane-1password/
