    Hi. I'm Brian and I will do my best to help you.

    I don't think the Authenticator can import the keychain. Rather, it can export a blob to be kept in iCloud as backup and then import that blob later to restore. Here is Microsoft's guidance on backing up and restoring the Authenticator data: https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/b...

    Thank you for your answer. But there is a piece of content that makes me encounter technical problems.

    Export by creating a CSV

    If steps to import passwords from your password manager aren't listed in this article, you can create a CSV that you can use to import your passwords into Authenticator. Microsoft recommends that you follow these steps on a desktop for ease of formatting.

    1. On your desktop, download and open our import template. If you are an Apple iPhone, Safari, and Keychain user, you can now skip to step 4.
    2. Export your passwords from your existing password manager in a nonencrypted CSV file.
    3. Copy the relevant columns from your exported CSV to the template CSV and then save.
    4. If you don’t have an exported CSV, you can copy each login from your existing password manager to the template CSV. Don’t remove or change the header row. When you finish, verify the integrity of your data before you send the data to Authenticator on your iOS or Android phone, or to the Microsoft Autofill Chrome Extension. But in fact, the download link provided by Microsoft is not available.
