Yorba is not a password management service

Yorba lets you map, track, and manage your digital footprint but we are not a password management service. By default, we do not ask for sensitive information like passwords associated with your online accounts.

To accurately map your digital footprint, we take advantage of some info (email addresses associated with online platforms) stored in your password management service.

Some password managers (e.g., 1Password, LastPass, Dashlane) are a great way to store credentials for online accounts you use regularly and easily access them when needed. Be careful when choosing one, and remember you are giving them highly sensitive information.

Combining this method with an inbox scan is a great way to uncover an even more complete collection of all the accounts you've created over the years.


Add accounts stored in a password manager

1. Click "Import Stuff" on the left of the screen. Then, choose "Import accounts via CSV."

2. Before you continue in Yorba, export a list of accounts from your password manager as a CSV spreadsheet.

Each browser has slightly different steps to export your data to a CSV spreadsheet. Here are links to the help articles for exporting data from the most common password managers out there:

3. Make sure the CSV spreadsheet you download from your browser matches Yorba's CSV template, or copy/paste your info into Yorba's CSV spreadsheet.

Storing passwords is optional: To ensure your data is 100% safe even if Yorba were ever breached, if you decide to import passwords to Yorba, you'll be required to set up a Secure Storage protocol, via an encrypted file on your own personal cloud drive that Yorba can access only while you are actively using the app.

4. Drag and drop your formatted CSV file into Yorba (or just upload it by clicking "Browse files").

If there are any errors or missing information in your spreadsheet, we'll point those out so you can correct them.

5. Review your results to ensure everything looks right (and dismiss anything you don't want to add to Yorba).
