Moving Chrome passwords to 1P, with a catch......
Hi all,
I am having issues with moving my Chrome passwords to 1P (I'm on WIN11). I've read the standard blurb about going to chrome://settings/passwords. I have a different situation. At work, we have many different test environments that we use, and each environment has multiple 'users'. I currently have multiple (think 40 or so) Chrome profiles set up. Now, I DON'T log in to Chrome as you normally would. By not logging in, I can have these multiple Chrome profiles to use and I don't have any conflicts.
I'm thinking I want to move these Chrome profiles over to 1P, but short of going in to each profile>Bookmark Manager (and copy/paste each URL with each user and that users password), I'm drawing a blank as to how to move these over.
Any thoughts here?
Cheers
Jim

Hey Dave,
Thanks for that! Yes, that is the first place I looked. The issue with that approach is that is presumes you are logged in to Chrome with a Google account. I don't log into Google and that is why the multiple profiles works. To go further into my own workflow, I have a set number of 'users', and the 'users' are duplicated in each environment (~40) that I maintain. Some 'users' have different passwords in different environments. This is why I need to stay logged out of Chrome.
Anyway, when I look at the passwords in a given profile, chrome://settings/passwords, there is not a .csv file to download (since I'm not logged into Chrome). I am presented with an editable list of each 'user' within that profile.
Hope this makes sense.

Thank you the reply! Try going here instead: chrome://password-manager/settings
Even in a profile where I'm not signed into a Google account I see the option to export passwords as long as there are passwords saved to Google in that profile:
Let me know if that doesn't work.

Hello 98valkyrie​! 👋
Thanks for the question! If you're storing the passwords locally in each profile then it sounds like you just need to export those passwords from each profile using this guide: Move your passwords from Chrome to 1Password
You can then import the produced CSV files into 1Password. Let me know if I misunderstood.
