Google Chrome now has the passwords export and import feature built-in, but you need to enable two flags in Chrome://flags page for that.
Chrome till now allows to view saved passwords by visiting chrome://settings/Passwords or you can also do that from any device by going to this page, but the browser itself doesn’t offer a way to import or export passwords from/to a CSV file.
Chrome Password export and import gets a redesign
Google is currently redesigning the Chrome Password export and import feature. Related to that development, Chromium team has split the old and no longer available ‘chrome://flags/#password-import-export’ flag into two:
- Password export (chrome://flags/#password-export)
- Password import (chrome://flags/#PasswordImport).

Enabling the import or export feature for passwords in Chrome browser
1. Visit Chrome://flags
2. Enable the above mentioned flags one by one, by selecting ‘Enabled’ button for each and restart the browser after doing that.
3. Visit chrome://settings/passwords, click on three vertical dots icon opposite to ‘Saved Passwords’ and choose ‘Import’ or ‘Export’.
When you choose Export, Chrome cautions to delete the exported file after importing passwords.
If you click ‘Export Passwords’, Google Chrome asks to enter your Windows account password,
Type it, after that ‘Save as’ dialog appears and prompts you to give a file name to be saved in .csv format., done. Similarly, you can import Chrome passwords from a CSV file as well.

Currently, as of this writing, Password export and import feature is working in Chrome dev and Canary channels., we don’t know when Google will ship this feature.
Not able to import password csv into chrome. Any ideas..
Since the feature is still in development, you can’t expect to work out of the box for you. Sorry! And there is no guarantee for Chrome password import and export to be available as a feature, until Google makes, otherwise we need to remember it’s still a flag, an experimental feature. That can disappear any time.
I have enabled password export and import flag in chrome, I can able to export to csv file, but I can not able to import. After selecting the file, it is not showing anything.
Purpose : I would like to sync all my saved passwords from company mail ID to personal mail ID.
Are you using Canary or developer version? The flag in Stable no longer works.
After half an hour of exploring, I found this post. Wow! this works.
I was able to download the passwords in csv format. Great thanks.
still doesnt work in chrpme version 66.xx (no import or export; still closing the navigator after choose export or import)
Have you tried enabling the flags in beta channel and see the import and export works? The feature is still under testing.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
You’re welcome. Are you using Chrome Stable? Is the feature and flags working for you? Let us know for confirmation. Thanks.
I enabled both flags, but cannot see a way to actually DO the import into chrome on my new laptop. I was able to export passwords from chrome in my old laptop, so I have the CSV file, but cant figure out how to get it to import INTO chrome—any ideas?????
Visit chrome://settings/passwords, opposite to Saved passwords, click on More actions > Import, select CSV file.
