One of Chrome’s handy tools is the Password Manager. It’s free and decently secure. All the information on your saved passwords is saved within your browser.
But if you’d like to switch to another Password Manager for more security or change old, saved passwords, you can always do so via settings. Besides just checking your saved passwords on the Chrome browser, you can also edit, add, remove, or export and import them.

How to Export and Import Saved Passwords on Chrome?
If you’re planning on switching browsers, you can export your saved passwords data and then import it to another browser. When exporting passwords, you’ll need to save it as a .CSV
file. It’s worth noting that you can export and import your saved passwords to another browser only on a PC.
Normally, you won’t need to follow these steps to export your passwords as you can easily import data when using a new browser. But, if you want to uninstall Chrome and move to another browser, you’ll need a CSV file of your passwords data. Here are the exact steps for it:
Export Passwords
Follow the above-mentioned steps to go to the Password Manager.
1- Navigate to Saved Passwords. Next to it, click on the More icon with three dots.
2- Click on Export Passwords. Again, click on Export Passwords from the prompt.
3- Enter your admin Password to verify.
4- Pick a destination to save the CSV file from the Save As dialogue box.
Import Passwords
In this demonstration, we’re using Firefox as an example to import passwords. The settings are similar on other browsers.
1- Launch Firefox and click on the horizontal lines to open Menu.
2- Go to Passwords.
3- You’ll now view the Logins & Passwords screen. Click on More options.
4- Select the option that says Import from Another Browser.
5- Click on Chrome and click on Next.
6- Make sure the box is selected for Saved Logins and Passwords.
7- Click on Next.
8- Lastly, click on Finish.
