Google Chrome has the ability to import your saved passwords from a backup CSV file. However, this option is not visible by default. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to import passwords from CSV file into Google Chrome after enabling this option from Chrome flags.
The steps are very straightforward, before you can use the import from CSV file feature, you need to enable the Password Import option in the Google Chrome flags page. This means the feature is available under the Chrome experimental features.
