Importing passwords from Google Chrome
It is possible to import all of the passwords saved in Google Chrome password manager to Bitwarden so you won't need to save them all again. Here is the process.
First go into your Google Chrome password manager window.
You will then go to the Settings tab where you'll select "Download file" under Export passwords. This will bring up a password check for your Windows account. After successfully passing this check, Specify a location to save your export to, and verify that the format is comma-separated values (CSV).
In your Bitwarden Chrome extension you'll go to the Settings tab and click on Vault, where you'll select "Import Items"
Complete the following fields from the drop down menus:
- Vault: Select the import destination such as your individual vault or an organizational vault that you have access to. In most cases this should be set to "My Vault"
- Folder: Select if you would like the imported content moved to a specific folder inside your Vault
- File format: Select the import file format. In this case that should be Chrome (csv)
- Select Choose File and add the file to import.
- Select Import data . If you are importing a password protected .json file, enter the password into the Confirm vault import window that will appear.
After successful import, delete the import source file from your computer. This will protect you in the event your computer is compromised.
Importing does not check whether items in the file to import already exist in your vault. If you import multiple files or import files with items already in your vault, this will create duplicates.
Here's an example of how the import window could look like just before the import:
