Anyone know how to move your Firefox passwords into Chrome? Firefox 3.5 stores them in a sqlite database and it looks like Chrome can't import them. Haven't seen anything in a google search that gives me a good (easy) way to do it either.

I'm on a mac, and it's Chromium, which is beta stuff. It didn't work for me frown

I just tried again, just to make sure. It imported bookmarks and the window closed. Same as before.

If you set a Master Password on Firefox you'll need to remove that first. Even then, it only worked on 1 of 4 of my Macs despite them all having the same exact Weave-synced Firefox passwords.

I'm hoping for/waiting for Google to add password sync to Chrome to get all the passwords from the 1 machine it did work on.

Looks like Firefox uses it's own password vault, sqlite I think, and Chromium is trying to use Mac's keychain.

I did remove the Master Password, Steven, good call, but I *think* Chromium is trying to go to the wrong place for the passwords.

I'd suggest using something like 'lastpass' . They just came out with a plugin for chrome, so you could import your passwords to lastpass, and then use them in chrome that way.

You might even be able to just export them from lastpass into a format compatible with chrome.
