Perhaps I am missing something, but after looking extensively on forums, online docs, etc... I can't find an easy "How to" document that details how to simply take already existing Keychain passwords on your iPhone and transfer them to 1Password.

I have a pretty non technical user in my family who has everything in Keychain. I am trying to get them to move over to 1Password for better security and I need to do this and make it so that it is simple, but even I can't figure it out. Can anyone point me in the right direction with a writeup?

    There is no way to export iCloud Keychain passwords via iOS. Do you have a macOS Desktop system?

    Wow, really? This just is a huge problem then for me. I've got someone with literally everything saved on an iPhone. So is the only way I could get them out by having a MacOS Desktop or perhaps a laptop?

    If the only device(s) you have are iPhone's / iPad's, then you'll have to resort to copy/paste from the Settings > Passwords area on iOS / iPadOS.

    With a macOS device, enabled with iCloud Keychain, you can extract those passwords from Safari via script. But that script runs under macOS.

    Where can I find this script if I have a MacOS laptop? Assume I have to connect the iPhone to it and just run that?

    You'll need to enable iCloud Keychain on the Mac. To let it temporarily house the passwords. @MrC can assist if you encounter any issue. Just post back here and mention "@MrC" with no quotes.
