![]() I just tried this - on my Windows 10 machine (where I’ve had Brave installed for a couple of days now) it did not work at all. Let me know if you need any other info - all bookmarks came through fine, it looks like it’s just the passwords that didn’t ☹️ The import was the first thing I did - I had not browsed to any other pages before trying to import.

For some, it’s better just to wipe Chrome of its passwords and use only one program. While you can turn off Chrome’s ability to automatically sign into some sites and offer to save passwords, you can’t disable autofill.

Though it’s easily accessible in the browser, it lacks a lot of the bells and whistles that other programs have. Of course, Chrome also has a built-in password manager, which is completely free and secure. Some examples are LastPass, 1Password, and NordPass, just to name a few. There are dozens to choose from, with some more secure than others. If you’re like me, you have used several different password management sites out there. Why would I want to delete my passwords on Chrome?
