If you are in case wants to use passwords stored in Chrome in Safari, and dint’t figure out how to do it, then this is for you. As there is no native way to achieve this goal, I will show a working example how to do it with few step.
In my case I need to transfer from Chrome to Safari but with an hour research I didn’t find proper way and still need to use Firefox as mediator, because Chrome can’t import passwords from Chrome but only from Firefox. The only problem was that Firefox can’t import passwords from Chrome, or at least it doesn’t work on my setup. But with a little research I found a way.
So…
1. Open Chrome browser and go chrome://flags/#password-import-export
(this will enable ability to export current stored passwords)
2. Go to chrome://settings/passwords (wait a little if you have a lot of passwords) -> Saved Passwords -> [ Export ] and save file somewhere
3. Open file from 2. with text editor and add on top of file
# Generated by Password Exporter; Export format 1.0.4; Encrypted: false "hostname","formSubmitURL","username","password"
This heading will make the file readable from Firefox.
4. Because Firefox removed the tool that could import passwords we need to install such, so open Firefox browser and install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
5. Go to Preferences -> Security -> Import/Export Passwords and import file from 2.
We are almost there, now we have passwords from Google’s Chrome to Mozilla Firefox, we need only to import them to Safari so…
6. Open Safari browser, and go to File -> Import From and select Passwords
That’s it
