How to import passwords to iCloud? (pawb.social)

Hello, I've got an used iPhone as a secondary device to test apple ecosystem and try it out (as this is my first apple device). And I want to import all my passwords from Microsoft Edge/Authenticator to use the native manager of the device with iCloud. But I only find to add new passwords one by one, not a single option to import or transfer from another password manager.

Yes, I know that I can use the Authenticator app on the iPhone, but I want to at least have a copy on the native solution (the point of having this iPhone is to try out everything apple has to offer xD). Maybe I need a Mac to do it? or to transfer the data from my Android phone to the iPhone? (but I'm worried about the process, I don't want to remove the data from my Android).

Thank you very much in advanced for the help, I couldn't find any info on Apple's support, Youtube or just the web.

You can import everything into Apple Paaswords on the Mac.

There is a specific set of columns you need in a .csv file.

You can definitely import passwords on a Mac. I’m not sure about auth codes, though. Import bookmarks, history, and passwords in Safari on Mac

Ok, so I need a Mac to transfer it to iCloud (or use a third-party service, which I prefer to avoid). Thank you again, I'll tranfer them manually till I get a Mac xD

Any third party app that can receive your database would do. iOS supports system-wide 3rd party password managers. I use Strongbox bc I can sync it with Windows and Mac.

Maybe a third party app like iMazing would be easier. I’ve used it for years now, SO much easier to deal with than iTunes.

Here’s a link to their site.

It’s been a few years, but I never saw a bulk import option.
