How sync chrome passwords with safari

Hello there.


I've got question about sync chrome passwords with safari, on all my Apple devices I'm using chrome but I'm tired of battery consumption.


I want to start using safari but all my passwords (there'sa lot of them) are stored in chrome, is there any way to sync all passwords from chrome to safari ? I've read that years ago passwords were stored in keychain but now this function isn't working.


thanks for any help 🙂

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

In Google Chrome, open a new tab and paste the following:


chrome://flags/#password-import-export


Find the "Password import and export" option and switch it from Default to Enabled

As soon as you do this you will see "Relaunch Now" at the bottom of your browser, click it. (see screen shot below)

Now in Chrome, go to Preferences, Show Advanced Settings, and under "Passwords and Forms" click on "Manage Passwords"

If you are signed into Chrome with your correct account, here is where you see all of your saved passwords. The steps before this enables the "Import" and "Export" boxes into this window.

You can export it as a .csv ... still havent figured out how to import it into keychain or safari, but at least you can import them to safari by copy/paste!


Hope this helps!
