Migrating from Chrome's password manager to V4ult
Export your saved passwords from Chrome as a CSV file, then import them into V4ult — V4ult recognizes Chrome's export format automatically.
Chrome's built-in password manager lets you export your saved passwords as a CSV file from its settings (Passwords → the menu next to 'Saved Passwords' → Export passwords), which requires confirming with your device's screen lock or account password.
Once you have that CSV file, open V4ult's importer (Profile → Settings → Import) and select it. V4ult recognizes Chrome's column headers (name, url, username, password, note) automatically and pre-fills the field mapping — you just review it and confirm.
As with any import into V4ult, only login credentials transfer this way. Chrome's password manager doesn't store OTP codes, cards or notes in the same way V4ult does, so there's nothing else to migrate from that specific export — but if you've saved payment cards or addresses in Chrome separately, those aren't part of this CSV and need to be added to V4ult manually.
Advantages
- No manual column mapping needed — V4ult recognizes Chrome's format automatically
- Imported credentials are encrypted on-device with AES-256-GCM, unlike Chrome's built-in storage
