Google Chrome may now let you export saved passwords
What's the story
Remembering several passwords can be tedious, especially when you change browsers or move to another password manager app or simply switch to a new device.
While Google Chrome's in-built password manger did allow you to sync passwords between other devices, it did not work with third-party managers.
But now, Google Chrome will allow you to export passwords for use in third-party managers.
Here's how.
Details
Managing passwords shouldn't be a concern
Google is working on allowing users to export their saved passwords in a simpler way. The new feature is currently available on the Chrome Dev channel on desktop.
Users may go to Settings > Manage passwords > Saved Passwords > Export passwords as a CSV file.
This file can be used by other password managers apps to export your passwords.
Information
Export saved password feature to be available across all platforms
While it is still in testing phase, with the Chrome version 66 expected to hit beta soon, we may see this feature on the next stable version of Chrome. The exporting feature would be available across the line: Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux and Android.
Coming soon
The feature is still in testing phase
The feature currently is still being tested by developers and has no timeline. However, it is expected to hit the stable channel soon, may be in the next Chrome version.
Meanwhile, those who wish to test this feature, can enable it using a flag setting. Users need to paste(without quotes) "chrome://flags/#password-export" into their navigation bar to enable this option in their Chrome settings menu.
