Answered by Robert Flynn

I can provide a detailed answer for you!

So, the first step to export all your saved passwords from Chrome is to go to the Chrome menu in the toolbar. You can find this menu by clicking on the three dots in the top right corner of your browser window. Once you click on the menu, a drop-down list will appear.

Next, you need to select “Settings” from the drop-down list. This will open the Chrome Settings page in a new tab.

On the Chrome Settings page, you will find a list of options on the left-hand side. Look for the “Autofill” option and click on it. This will open the Autofill settings.

Within the Autofill settings, you will see a section called “Password Manager”. Click on it to access the saved passwords.

Now, at the top right corner of the list of saved passwords, you will notice a three-dot icon. Click on it to open a menu of additional options.

From the menu, select “Export passwords”. This action will prompt a warning message informing you that exporting passwords is not secure. Chrome wants to ensure that you understand the potential risks of exporting and storing passwords outside of the browser’s secure environment.

To proceed with the export, click on “Export passwords”. At this point, Chrome will ask you to verify your identity by entering the password you use to log in to your computer. This extra step is to ensure that only authorized users can export the passwords.

After entering your computer’s password, Chrome will generate a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file containing all your saved passwords. The file will be automatically downloaded to your computer.

Once the file is downloaded, you can open it using a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. The CSV file will contain information such as website URLs, usernames, and passwords for all the saved passwords in Chrome.

It’s important to note that exporting your passwords to a CSV file means that the passwords are no longer protected by Chrome’s built-in security features. Therefore, it’s crucial to handle the exported file with care and ensure it is stored securely.

Yes, you can export all your saved passwords from Chrome by following the steps mentioned above. Just remember to be cautious with the exported file to maintain the security of your passwords.
