VIDEO: Chrome: Exporting Passwords
Export using freeware
- If you want to get to your passwords quickly and easily without having to make any major settings in your operating system, you should resort to freeware.
- For the web browser of Google there is the free program ChromePass, which reads out all saved access data immediately after execution. You then have the option of exporting and saving the data as an Excel or HTML file.
Back up passwords from Google Chrome
Your log-in data is saved in Chrome in your profile filed. It is not possible to export this directly from the web browser, so you have to save the profile folder on your hard drive.
- Close your web browser.
- Open Windows Explorer, click on "Organize", "View" and tick the box next to "Show hidden files, folders and drives".
- Now follow the path C: \ Users \ username \ AppData \ Local \ Google \ Chrome.
- Now copy the "User Data" folder and save it.
- If you've reinstalled your operating system and Google Chrome, just paste this folder back in the same place and overwrite existing files. Your data is completely restored, it doesn't matter how many profiles you have created.
