How to Import Chrome Passwords to Safari on iPhone and Mac
Transferring passwords from Google Chrome to Safari is a process that can be done in several ways in order to keep our information available when logging in on another browser. Whether you want to import saved account passwords from Chrome to Safari or learn to use Google Password Manager to autofill saved passwords on an Apple device, there are options available.
Importing passwords from Chrome to Safari on your iPhone and Mac can be quite useful if you’re switching browsers or devices and want to transfer your login credentials. When you perform this import, you avoid having to remember or manually enter all your passwords again.
The easiest, safest, and fastest way to import passwords from Chrome to Safari is using your Mac. Once the process is done on Mac, the passwords will be automatically synchronized with the iPhone and iPad through iCloud Keychain.
There are three methods to import Google passwords to Safari from Mac:
1. When you open Safari for the first time on your Mac after using Chrome or Firefox, you’ll see an option to import bookmarks, browsing history, and passwords. The process will start automatically once you press the button there.
2. If you didn’t import passwords when you first opened Safari, you can do so by following steps such as exiting the Chrome browser if it is already open, opening Safari on Mac, and in the top menu bar, clicking File > Import from and choosing Google Chrome.
3. You can also export your Chrome passwords as a CSV file and then import that file to Safari. However, this method could pose a security risk if the file falls into the wrong hands.
Regardless of the method used, it is important to pay attention to security and privacy measures when importing passwords. Make sure you are using secure and trusted connections and have your credentials entered.
Passwords imported from another browser into Safari can be viewed in Safari Settings > Passwords (or System Settings > Passwords), though it is recommended to verify them manually. Additionally, it’s crucial to keep in mind that the information will still be available in the Google password manager in Chrome or on the web.
The process of transferring passwords from Chrome to Safari is not available on iPad or iPhone. However, once the step is done on a Mac, the passwords will be automatically synchronized with the iPhone and iPad through iCloud Keychain.
