Mozilla Chrome
import your passwords to Chrome
he only way to do it that I could find was to try to enable a disabled Chrome feature that allows you to import passwords. After searching online, I found several methods to enable it, depending on which version of Chrome youre running. I am currently running version 88, and while I was able to use the following method to add the import command to Chrome (
thank you to Guiding Tech for pointing me toward this possible solution), my copy of Chrome was never able to actually import the CSV file I had downloaded from LastPass.
Be that as it may, here is the process I used. Perhaps youll have more luck. Ill let you know how I finally managed to get my passwords into Chrome right afterward.
- In Chromes top address bar, type in chrome://flags. This will bring you to the Experiments page.
- In the Search flags box on top, type in password import. (Probably just typing password will be enough.)
In Chromes Experiments page, you can enable the Import feature.
- Find Password import and click on the drop-down menu on the left (it will probably be labeled Default). Select Enabled.
- Select Relaunch.
- Now that youve added the import function, go to to your Chrome Settings (by selecting the three dots in the upper right corner and choosing Settings).
- Find Passwords (which will be in the Autofill category) and click on the arrow on the right.
- Look for Saved Passwords, and click on the three dots on the right. You should see a drop-down that includes the selection Import.
Chrome should now have an Import selection under Saved Passwords.
- Click on Import. Youll be able to select a CSV file from your file manager and hopefully, import your passwords.
If that works for you great! If not, then there is a last desperate way to get your passwords into Chrome, which is the one that finally worked for me.
- Download Firefox (if you dont have it already) and start it up.
- Click on the three lines in the upper right corner and select Logins and Passwords.
- Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select Import from a File.
- Select your CSV file and import it.
Firefox has no qualms about importing a CSV password file. Now that your passwords are in Firefox, you can transfer them easily to Chrome:
- In Chrome, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and go to Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks and Settings.
- Select Mozilla Firefox in the drop-down menu, select Passwords (and Autofill form data if you had any), and click on Import.
Chrome has no problem importing passwords from rival browsers.
