To transfer your Chrome bookmarks and passwords to another account, you can use the Chrome Sync feature. This feature allows you to sync your browsing data, including bookmarks and passwords, across multiple devices and accounts. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Step 1: Click the profile icon on the upper-right corner of the Chrome window. It may display your name or an image.
Step 2: From the drop-down menu, select “Turn On Sync.” This will open a new tab with the sign-in page.
Step 3: Enter your Google Account credentials (email and password) to sign in to the web browser. If you don’t have a Google Account, you can create one by clicking the “Create account” option.
Step 4: Once signed in, you’ll be prompted to turn on Chrome Sync. Click the “Settings” option to proceed.
Step 5: In the Settings tab, you’ll see various sync options. Make sure the “Sync everything” toggle is enabled. This will sync your bookmarks, passwords, history, and other browsing data.
Step 6: Scroll down to the “Advanced sync settings” section. Here, you can choose which specific data you want to sync. Enable the toggle for “Passwords” and “Bookmarks” to ensure they are synced to your new account.
Step 7: Click the “Sync” button at the bottom of the page to start the syncing process. Depending on the amount of data, it may take a few moments to complete.
Once the syncing process is finished, your bookmarks and passwords should now be synced to your new Google Account. You can sign in to Chrome on any device using the same Google Account, and your synced data will be available.
It’s important to note that this process will only transfer your bookmarks and passwords. Other browsing data, such as browsing history and extensions, may not be transferred. If you want to transfer these as well, you can use third-party tools or extensions specifically designed for that purpose.
In my personal experience, I have used Chrome Sync to transfer my bookmarks and passwords to a new account when switching devices or creating a new Google Account. It has been a convenient and seamless process, ensuring that I have all my important browsing data accessible across multiple devices.
