Google Chrome allows you to export saved passwords in CSV format. Here're the steps you should follow to export Chrome passwords.
The Chrome browser provides a basic password manager with an autofill service that's linked and synced to your Google account. One of the best reasons for the Google Chrome password is its integration with the Android mobile. So long as you are signed in with exactly the same Google account, all your passwords will be ready to use. Not to mention, the auto sign-in feature readily available for both Chrome and Android is pretty useful along with a godsend in a lot of ways. Actually, a number of my friends and family members only ever make use of the Chrome password manager for this reason alone. So long as you don't mind lacking advanced features provided by a dedicated password manager like Lastpass, the default Google Password Manager is pretty good.
That being said, if you are not satisfied with the Chrome password manager or you just want to create an additional backup of Chrome passwords, you can export Chrome passwords.
In this simple and quick guide, let me show the steps to follow along with to export Chrome passwords to a CSV file in Windows 10.
Steps to Export Chrome Passwords
Google Chrome gives you the option to export passwords from the Settings page. These are the steps you should follow.
First, open the Chrome browser. You do that from the Start menu or by double-clicking around the desktop shortcut.
Click around the Menu icon (three vertical dots) around the top-right corner.
Select "Settings" in the list of options.
Click on the "Passwords" option under the "Autofill" section in the Settings page.
Now, click on the "Overflow" icon (three vertical dots) appearing right on the surface of the passwords list.
Choose the "Export Passwords" option.
Click on the "Export Passwords" button around the pop-up screen.
Like a security measure, Chrome will ask for authentication. Authenticate yourself with Windows password, pin, fingerprint, or face unlock to carry on.
Choose a save location, name the file, and click on the "Save" button.
You are now able to close the Settings tab.
That is all. Using the above steps, you've successfully exported Chrome passwords to a CSV file in Windows.
Wrapping Up
Since almost every password manager supports CSV data format, you can easily migrate. If you do migrate to a different password manager, delete Chrome passwords so you don't have to cope with duplicates.
After you are done with the Chrome password backup, be certain that you're not sharing the file with anyone. Since the passwords within the CSV file are in plain text, you can now see them should they have access to the file. So, when you are done using it, delete it permanently (shift + del) to ensure that no one can obtain hand on it.
