export passwords from keychain into google chrome on a Mac

I am trying to export all my passwords from keychain into google chrome browser - I can't download into a csv file, using a Mac. Is there any other way? Will a password manager do this?

Grant Bennet-Alder When you say not not, nor will there ever be, did you mean never as in, it is available right now? Built into Safari?! Just had to register to come on here and help as there's always someone quick to pass on incorrect info unfortunately...


Confus_88 Just open Safari, goto settings then passwords, authenticate yourself, then press on the 3 dots at the bottom and export all passwords. This exports to a CSV (you maybe thought you couldn't use CSV as you were on a Mac? This is ok, just export to the CSV. Then in Chrome, open settings and search for Password - this will show you the Chrome password manager. Press the 3 dots, import passwords and select your CSV. Job done!

Your passwords are consider private. VERY Private. MacOS keychain encrypts passwords as they are entered, and holds your passwords securely.


If the mechanism you are describing existed, it would allow rogue software to bulk export your passwords and steal them all.


There is not now, nor will there ever be, a way to bulk export passwords, because it is a HUGE security risk.
