Google has recently updated its Password Manager on all platforms with an improved interface and on-device encryption for enhanced password security. But it’s still quite far behind certain other dedicated password management services out there. So if you are having trouble exporting your password saved in Google to other password managers, then stay tuned as we discuss ways to export Google passwords to LastPass, BitWarden, and 1Password.
How to Export Google Passwords to Other Password Managers?
Even though the Google password manager has improved a lot with the recent update, it is still missing some features that the other password managers have had for a while. Moreover, they make it easy to access and store passwords. So if you also want to jump ship to another password manager and take your Google passwords with you, then here is how to export your Google passwords to a .csv file.
1. Export Google Passwords to CSV via Chrome
If you use Chrome and sign into the browser, you can easily export your Google passwords as a .csv file by going to the settings. This method might not work if you have enabled On-device password encryption.
Step 1: Open Chrome and click on the three-dot menu in the top right corner.
Step 2: Open Settings.
Step 3: Go to Autofill.
Step 4: Click on Password Manager.
Step 5: Scroll down and click on the three-dot menu next to the Add button.
Step 6: Select the option, Export passwords.
Step 7: In the confirmation prompt, select Export passwords.
Step 8: Enter your desktop password to download the .csv file.
Once you enter the desktop password, the .csv file will be saved to the selected location on your computer. You can then use it to export your passwords to a new service.
2. OR Export Passwords from the Google Passwords Website
This method is an easy workaround if you cannot use the import option described with the Chrome method above. If you have enabled On-device encryption for your passwords, then this is the method you will have to use. It works on all platforms, including Android and iOS.
Step 1: Visit passwords.google.com using the Chrome browser.
Step 2: Click on Sign in and log into your Google account from which you wish to extract passwords.
Step 3: Next, click on the gear icon on the top right.
Step 4: Click on the Export button to export your passwords.
Step 5: In the confirmation prompt, select Export.
Step 6: Enter your Google account password for verification.
A Google Passwords.csv file will be downloaded to your system containing all the passwords from your Google account. Make sure to store it somewhere safe or delete it after exporting passwords.
