FAQ about Exporting Chrome Passwords to CSV
1. Where are Chrome passwords stored?
Chrome passwords are stored locally on the user’s computer in a file called Login data in an encrypted format. The file is located in the user’s profile folder in the Chrome installation directory. Passwords are encrypted using an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm with a unique key for each user.
2. Are Chrome passwords synced across devices?
Yes, Chrome passwords are synced across devices if you have sync enabled in your Google account. By default, Chrome syncs your passwords, bookmarks, browsing history, and other settings across all the devices where you sign in with your Google account. This means that if you saved a password on your desktop, it will also be available on your smartphone or tablet when you sign in with the same Google account.
Export login information easily
Compared to importing passwords from a CSV file into Chrome, exporting them is super easy. Now that you know how to export Chrome passwords, it is essential to follow safety measures while handling passwords.
