{% warning %} Starting with Chrome v59, the Chrome team has removed the ability to export passwords from Chrome. Please see this topic{:target="blank"} on the Chrome forums for further information and to let the Chrome team know that you would like to bring this feature back.

If you are using a version prior to v59, you can still use the instructions below. {% endwarning %}

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 window with all your saved passwords for Chrome.
5. Scroll down through the list and look for the "Export" and "Import" buttons at the end of the list.
6. Click the "Export" button. You'll be prompted to enter your computer's password for authorization.
7. Once your computer's password is entered and validated, you can save your passwords to a CSV file on your computer. Save this file to your desktop as chromedata.csv.

Import your passwords into bitwarden

1. Go to the bitwarden web vault and log in.
2. Navigate to "Tools" > "Import".
3. Select "Chrome (csv)" as the file format and select your chromedata.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.
