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.
