Google Chrome: Import/Export Passwords?

I recently migrated from Windows7 to Kubuntu 10.0.4. In many ways, I'm loving the change. (I never knew it could be such a seemless process to write/test scripts!)

One of the few things that is causing me any hangup is that none of the passwords that were saved in my browser are available (obviously, since it's a completely separate installation). Is it possible to export my passwords from the Windows instance of Chrome and then import them into the Linux version?

Solution 1:

As Neal said, the folder User Data is the one to look for. If you want a software solution try the extension Lastpass (or at the Google site). It allows you to save and restore password in Google Chrome as well as in Firefox, IE and Safari.

Solution 2:

Enable password export in Chrome by going to chrome://flags/#password-import-export, then you can export it to CSV file.

Solution 3:

You can also use this standalone tool called chromepass http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/chromepass.html

ChromePass is a small password recovery tool that allows you to view the user names and passwords stored by Google Chrome Web browser.

There is a option to export into your keepass password manager too.

Note: If you feel unsafe to use third-party tools, get script from here https://github.com/hassaanaliw/chromepass and run yourself.

Solution 4:

I found a decision how to show all your passwords from Chromium. Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and Chromium: Version 40.0.2214.111 Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit). I used js script found early in search.

Output maked in format: url|login|pass

Steps:

Open in Chromium browser link to Chrome password manager: chrome://settings-frame/passwords
Open console (F12) and insert this js code:


    out="";
    out2="";
    var pm = PasswordManager.getInstance();
    var model = pm.savedPasswordsList_.dataModel;
    var pl = pm.savedPasswordsList_;

    for(i=0;i<model.length;i++){
       PasswordManager.requestShowPassword(i);
    };

After step 2 you will see all your passwords in Chromium Password manager Dialog.
And now insert this part of js code in console:


    for(i=0;i<model.length;i++){
    var item = pl.getListItemByIndex(i);
    out+="\n"+model.array_[i][0]+"|"+model.array_[i][1]+"|"+item.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].childNodes[0].value;
    out2+='<br/>"http://'+model.array_[i][0]+'","'+model.array_[i][1]+'","'+item.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].childNodes[0].value+'","http://'+model.array_[i][0]+'","","",""';
    };
    console.log(out);
    document.write(out2);
