Moving passwords from Microsoft Edge to Google Chrome

Good news: there is nothing to convert. Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome write and read the identical CSV layout, so the file Edge gives you imports into Chrome unchanged. The tool below will confirm your export parses cleanly and show you what's in it before you commit — but you do not need it.

Check your Microsoft Edge export

Drop your Microsoft Edge CSV here or click to choose a file — nothing is uploaded

The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript. Your file is never sent to a server — you can confirm it by opening your browser's Network tab, or by turning off Wi-Fi before you drop the file in. Prefer not to do this in a browser tab at all? Download the converter and run it from your own disk.

Your export file is plaintext. Both the file Microsoft Edge gives you and the one you download here contain every password in readable form. Delete them as soon as the import is verified, and empty your trash.

Why there's nothing to convert

Both use the same 5-column layout (name, url, username, password, note) because they share the same underlying password store. A file exported from one imports into the other with no edits at all — any tool claiming to "convert" between them is reformatting a file that already fits.

Microsoft Edge column	Google Chrome column	What happens
`name`	`name`	Identical — nothing changes
`username`	`username`	Identical — nothing changes
`password`	`password`	Identical — nothing changes
`url`	`url`	Identical — nothing changes
`note`	`note`	Identical — nothing changes

What carries over

Field	Edge	Chrome	Result
Item name / title	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Username and password	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Website URL	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Notes	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Folders / groups	No	No	Not in the source file
Two-factor (TOTP) secrets	No	No	Not in the source file
Favorites	No	No	Not in the source file
Custom fields	No	No	Not in the source file
Multiple URLs per entry	No	No	Not in the source file
File attachments	No	No	Not in the source file

Step 1 — Export from Microsoft Edge

Open Edge and go to edge://settings/passwords.
Select the ••• menu next to Saved passwords → Export passwords.
Confirm with your Windows account password or PIN.
Save the CSV.

Watch out for

Edge uses the same five-column Chromium layout as Chrome, so files are interchangeable between them.
Edge has no field for TOTP secrets, folders or favorites — those cannot survive the trip.

Step 2 — Check the file (optional)

You can skip this. The file Microsoft Edge gave you is already in the layout Google Chrome reads, so you can go straight to step 3. If you want to be sure before importing, drop it on the tool above — it will show you how many entries it found and flag anything malformed, and hand the file back unchanged.

Rather not put this file in a browser tab connected to the internet? The same converter is available as a single HTML file you can download and open with your network switched off.

Step 3 — Import into Google Chrome

Go to chrome://password-manager/settings in Chrome.
Select "Select file" next to Import passwords.
Choose the converted CSV and confirm.

Watch out for

Chrome stores no TOTP secrets, no folders and no favorites. Anything in those fields has to go into the note column or be lost.
The exported file is plaintext on disk with no protection at all — delete it as soon as the import finishes and empty your trash.

Step 4 — Verify and clean up

Open ten entries in Google Chrome at random and check them against Microsoft Edge.
Sign in to one real site using Google Chrome to confirm autofill works.
Delete both CSV files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, confirm the deletion propagated there too.
Only then close your Microsoft Edge account — and change any password you suspect was exposed while the plaintext file existed.

Questions

Do I need to convert anything to go from Microsoft Edge to Google Chrome?

No. Both use the same 5-column layout (name, url, username, password, note) because they share the same underlying password store. A file exported from one imports into the other with no edits at all — any tool claiming to "convert" between them is reformatting a file that already fits. Export from Microsoft Edge, then import that same file into Google Chrome. The tool on this page is only here to check the file parses and show you what's in it.

Do my passwords get uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion is JavaScript running in your own browser tab — the file is read with the FileReader API, transformed in memory, and handed back to you as a download. There is no upload, no server-side processing and no analytics attached to the file. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet before you drop the file in: the conversion still works.

Does anything get lost moving from Microsoft Edge to Google Chrome?

Google Chrome supports every field Microsoft Edge exports, so a standard login entry survives intact — name, username, password, URL, notes, folder and 2FA secret. File attachments are the exception: no CSV export from any manager includes them, so download those separately before you close your Microsoft Edge account.

Is the export file from Microsoft Edge encrypted?

No. A Microsoft Edge CSV export is plaintext — every password in it is readable by anything that can open the file, including other apps on your machine and anything that syncs your Downloads folder to the cloud. Convert it, import it, then delete both files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, check that the deletion propagated.

Anything unusual about Microsoft Edge's export?

Edge uses the same five-column Chromium layout as Chrome, so files are interchangeable between them.

Anything unusual about importing into Google Chrome?

Chrome stores no TOTP secrets, no folders and no favorites. Anything in those fields has to go into the note column or be lost.
