Keep the file safe

  • This file lists every saved password in the clear — treat it like cash.
  • Delete it the moment your import into Simply Once is done.
  • Never email it or upload it to cloud storage.
  • Don’t share the file with anyone.
  • Use Shift + Delete on Windows, or empty your Trash on a Mac, so it can’t be recovered.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the exported file saved?
Chrome saves it to your Downloads folder as Chrome Passwords.csv, unless you picked another location in the Save dialog.
Can I export from Chrome on my phone?
Yes. Open Chrome → three-dot menu → Settings → Password Manager → Settings → Export passwords, then verify your identity and save or share the file.
Is the exported file encrypted?
No. The CSV is plain text — anyone who opens it can read every password. Delete it as soon as your import is done.
Will exporting remove passwords from Chrome?
No. Exporting makes a copy. Your saved passwords stay in Google Password Manager.
