Unfortunately Google has removed the ability to export passwords from Chrome. However, it is suppose to be returning in Chrome 63. You can read more about it in [this topic](https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/chrome/99KZmH2DRrA){:target="blank"} on their user forums. We will update this documentation if/when it returns.
Importing your data from Google Chrome into bitwarden is easy.
{% note %}
The process is exactly the same for Opera and Vivaldi browser users.
{% endnote %}
## Export your Chrome passwords
1. Open Chrome and enter `chrome://flags/#password-import-export` into the address bar and press enter. This will open the Chrome system flags page.
2. Look for the "Password import and export" option and change the dropdown option to "Enabled".
3. A prompt will pop up from the bottom asking you to "Relaunch Now". Click the button to restart the browser so that the changes can take effect.
4. After relaunching the browser, enter `chrome://settings/passwords` into the address bar and press enter. This will open a page with all your "Saved Passwords" for Chrome.
5. Locate the "Import" and "Export" buttons at the top of the "Saved Passwords" list.
6. Click the "Export" button. You may be prompted to enter your computer's password for authorization.
7. You'll then be prompted to save your passwords to a [CSV][csv] file on your computer. Save this file to your desktop as `chrome_passwords.csv`.
## Import your passwords into bitwarden
1. Go to the [bitwarden web vault][bitwarden-vault] and log in.
2. Navigate to "Tools" > "Import".
3. Select "Chrome (csv)" as the file format and select your `chrome_passwords.csv` file from the desktop that you created in step 7 above.
4. Click the "Import" button.
Congratulations! You have just transferred all of your data from Google Chrome into bitwarden.
