Import all Chrome passwords on Mac? They are NOT stored in Keychain

mac_chrome_user

Thank you for a product! I am evaluating 1 Password 4 to see if I like it and, if so, will purchase it.

I have tried several ways previously listed to export Chrome passwords.

Unfortunately, I realized after successfully exporting my Keychain and importing into 1Password that, at least as of Chrome Version 51.0.2704.106 (64-bit), Chrome does NOT store passwords in the Mac Keychain.

The way I know this is simple. Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access. I click on all items, then use the top-right-hand side search feature to search for facebook. I get five entries, but NONE of them match my current password.

On the other hand, in Chrome under Settings -> show advanced settings -> Passwords and forms -> Manage passwords, I can see the two correct passwords for my current facebook accounts.

I realize that the "recommended" method is to use the extension and let it capture all passwords for 2 weeks or so. However, I have a LOT of saved passwords, and don't use most of the saved passwords most of the time.

Is there a way that I can import ALL passwords from Chrome on Mac from Chrome 51.0.2704.106 (or, e.g., directly from passwords.google.com), even if it involves using a potentially insecure 3rd party utility? (I will likely change many of the passwords anyhow to auto-generated ones down the line so I am not super worried about malicious mainstream 3rd party utilities.)

Thank you!

Yours,
Misha

@mac_chrome_user ,

How about this.

Thanks. I had to use a link in one of the comments to get it to work (https://gist.github.com/walalm/ee39e6a2c02f107e2f5e8d7900cf2155#file-googlechromepasswordexport-js) and run it a few times to actually pick up the passwords, but it worked! Thanks so much for your rapid reply.

Hi @mac_chrome_user

I'm glad to hear that @MrC was able to help you and that it worked, even if it took a bit of extra work! I hope that you enjoy 1Password, if you have any other questions that we can help you with, don't hesitate to ask :chuffed:

Hi Pilar,

Thanks so much for your comment. I had one quick question - I apologize if I incorrectly asked it in this same thread. I have several gmail accounts (see attached). I really like how the iOS app displays the associated username underneath "accounts.google.com" in the main list when selecting an account. Unfortunately, on 1Password mini on 1Password 4 (see screenshot), ONLY "accounts.google.com" is displayed, and NOT the individual username. Is there any way to add display of username below "accounts.google.com" on 1Password mini on 1Password 4 without manually changing the name "accounts.google.com".

In other words, is there a setting so that each option:

accounts.google.com

automatically becomes two lines:

accounts.google.com
username

Thank you again!

Yours,
Misha

P.S. I run Mac OS X 10.9.5 on and old MacBook Pro Mid 2010 with an upgraded hard drive. Unfortunately, upgrading to a newer version of OS X (e.g., to run an OS X 10 only 1Password) is not an option as I worry that the computer would become a little too slow for everyday use.

P.P.S. I guess, in theory, I could programmatically change the CSV file I export from Chrome to have the username included in each title before I import it into 1Password, but just wanted to check if there is a simpler option to make the change without re-importing the password database. Thank you!

Hi @mac_chrome_user ,

In 1Password 6, it will show the username alongside the items with duplicate titles, but that feature was not implemented in version 4. So I don't believe there is a way to do it in version 4.

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Thanks so much - I ended up changing most of them manually when I changed the password on the appropriate site.

Thanks again!
