October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month — here is a password checklist you can finish in an evening.

Switching to 8PWD

Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave → 8PWD

Password Manager CSV

Steps

  1. 1

    Chrome: Settings › Autofill and passwords › Google Password Manager › Settings › Export passwords. Edge: Settings › Profiles › Passwords › ⋯ › Export. Brave: Settings › Autofill and passwords › Export.

  2. 2

    Confirm with your computer password and save the .csv.

  3. 3

    Move the file to your device if needed (AirDrop or Files), then import it in 8PWD. The Google Chrome template also fits Edge and Brave — same columns.

  4. 4

    On iPhone, Chrome can also hand passwords over directly: Chrome › Settings › Password Manager › Export › choose 8PWD.

What ends up where

name → name; username → username; password → password; url → URL; note → notes.

After the import

Check a few entries, turn on AutoFill for 8PWD, and delete the export file from wherever you saved it — it is plain text.
