How to Backup and Restore Saved Passwords in Google Chrome Browser?
Google Chrome offers users to save web passwords when they try to log in to a website. Once you have saved the password, you don’t need to remember them for further use. When you reaccess the same webpage, the Chrome browser fills in the login details automatically. Google Chrome also offers a built-in option to export and import saved passwords on your computer. You don’t need to use any third-party software or extension to back up or restore Chrome passwords. Here is how to do it.
