How to view and export passwords saved in your browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari)

Every account you told your browser to "save password" for is stored in the browser's password manager. When you move to a new phone or computer, need to type a password into an app by hand, or want to move your passwords to another password manager, you can view these entries and export them to a file.

This guide is only for passwords on your own device and in your own account. You may be asked for your device's screen lock or your account password before passwords are shown. The exported file is not encrypted; you need to delete it when you are done, and we explain how below.

1. Find out which browser has the password saved Whichever browser fills in your username and password when you visit the site is the one that has it saved. If you use Chrome, the passwords are in Google Password Manager; in Microsoft Edge, they are in Microsoft Password Manager; with Safari, they are in the Passwords app on iPhone and Mac. If you are signed in to Chrome with your Google account, you can also see the same passwords at passwords.google.com.
2. Chrome (computer): open Google Password Manager Open Chrome and click the <strong>More</strong> (three dots) menu at the top right. Select <strong>Passwords and autofill > Google Password Manager</strong>. The page that opens lists your saved sites under <strong>Passwords</strong>; type the site's name into the search box at the top to find the entry quickly.
3. Chrome (computer): show, edit or delete a password Select the site from the list. To see the password, click the <strong>Show password</strong> icon to the right of it; if asked, enter your computer's login password or PIN. To change the entry, choose <strong>Edit</strong> and then <strong>Save</strong>; to remove it, click <strong>Delete</strong>. A change here does not change your password on the site; it only updates the entry in the browser.
4. Chrome (computer): export passwords to a file On the Google Password Manager page, select <strong>Settings</strong> on the left. Next to <strong>Export passwords</strong>, click <strong>Download file</strong> and verify your identity if asked. The passwords download to your computer as a .csv file; its first row has the url, username and password columns.
5. Chrome (Android and iPhone): view and export passwords On Android, open Chrome, tap <strong>More</strong> (three dots) > <strong>Settings</strong> and go to <strong>Google Password Manager</strong> under <strong>Autofill and passwords</strong>; tap a site and choose <strong>Show password</strong>. To export, tap <strong>Settings > Export passwords</strong> on the same screen. On iPhone and iPad, in Chrome go to <strong>More > Settings > Autofill and passwords > Password Manager</strong>, tap a site and choose <strong>Show password</strong>; to export, tap <strong>Settings > Export data</strong>.
6. Microsoft Edge: view a password in Password Manager Open Edge, click the three dots at the top right and select <strong>Settings</strong>. Open <strong>Passwords and autofill > Microsoft Password Manager</strong>. Select the right arrow next to the password you want, enter your device PIN or password if asked, and click the eye icon. According to Microsoft, Password Manager is only available in a profile signed in with a personal Microsoft account; with a work or school account, some features may be restricted.
7. Microsoft Edge: export passwords to a CSV file In Edge on your computer, press <strong>Alt + F</strong>, select <strong>Passwords</strong>, then select <strong>Export passwords</strong>. Click <strong>Export</strong> to confirm and choose where to save the file. According to Microsoft's help page, saved passwords cannot be exported from Edge for Android or iOS; do this from a computer.
8. iPhone and iPad: view a password in the Passwords app Open the <strong>Passwords</strong> app and unlock it with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. First choose a category (for example <strong>All</strong>), then tap the website or app; the saved password appears. Tap <strong>Edit</strong> to change it. On iOS 17 or earlier, you reach the same list from <strong>Settings > Passwords</strong>.
9. Mac: view and export with the Passwords app On macOS Sequoia or later, open the <strong>Passwords</strong> app, sign in with Touch ID or your user account password and select an account. To save all passwords to a file, choose <strong>File > Export All Passwords to File</strong> in the menu bar, click <strong>Export Passwords</strong>, choose where to save it and click <strong>Save</strong>. For a single account, use <strong>File > Export Selected Password to File</strong>. On macOS Sonoma or earlier, passwords are in <strong>System Settings > Passwords</strong> or in <strong>Safari > Settings > Passwords</strong>.
10. Use the exported file, then delete it straight away The CSV file is not encrypted; anyone who can open it sees all your passwords in plain text. Use the file only to import into another password manager; do not email it or put it in the cloud or on a USB stick. When you are done, delete the file and empty the trash too; on Windows, as Microsoft recommends, you can delete it permanently with <strong>Shift + Delete</strong>. Deleting the file does not affect the passwords saved in your browser.
