How to export Safari passwords in iOS 16 and macOS Ventura

Last updated 11 months ago

We are at a stage where the line is blurring between password managers like 1Password and the way that Safari creates and stores passwords for you. Both have their advantages, but since Safari comes built in to the Mac , iPhone and iPad , at some point you are going to save a password there.

You may never notice or care, just so long as you always visit that password-protected website through Safari and on the same device, or at least the same Apple ID. But when a site's IT staff have decided that everyone must use Chrome for no reason other than those engineers seem to like that browser, you have a tiny problem.

Or if you have some reason to think you've had enough of this and want to settle on solely using a third-party password manager app, you have an irritating problem of how to transfer passwords over.

There are two things you can do.

How to use one Safari password in another browser

You're going to have to type the password in to the new browser, or at least paste it. Since the odds are that don't even know what your Apple-generated password is for a given site, first you have to find out.

And the way you do that is slightly different on the Mac than on iPhone or iPad.

How to look up a password in Safari on iPhone or iPad

• Open Settings
• Select Passwords
• Authenticate that you're you with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode
• Scroll down to the website you want and tap on it
• Tap Edit at top right
• Copy the password that is now visible

How to look up a password in Safari on Mac

• Open Safari (not System Settings)
• Choose the Safari menu, then Settings...
• Click the Passwords key, right underneath the window title
• Authenticate with Touch ID or passcode
• In the window that appears, click to select Passwords
• Scroll through the list of websites or use the Search box
• Click on the site you want
• Click Edit toward the top right
• Copy the password that appears in a pop-up window, being careful not to change it

You now have your one password in the iPhone's or Mac's clipboard and can paste it into the new browser.

It's quicker to do than to describe, yet it's not something you'd want to do repeatedly.

So there is another way to get all of the passwords out of Safari at once. Instead of one item on your clipboard, you end up with one text file that contains everything.

Note that this requires a Mac, it can't be done from an iPhone or iPad. Since all of your Safari passwords should be available to you on all your devices, this isn't a problem — so long as you do have a Mac.

How to export all Safari passwords

• Open Safari on the Mac
• Choose File , Export , and then Passwords
• Confirm that you want to do this by clicking Export Passwords... on the dialog that appears
• Choose where to save the file and what to call it
• Authenticate that you are you with Touch ID or password

The reason for Apple asking if you're really sure about this, is that there is a danger. The sole way to get passwords out of one app and ready to be brought into another, is to use a text file, and that is risky.

Safari saves your passwords in a .csv file, a comma-separated values one, which just about any app can then import. But just as apps can read the passwords, so can anyone who gets the file.

"WARNING," says Apple in a support document . "Your passwords are exported to a CSV file. The CSV file is not encrypted and anyone reading the file can see your passwords."

What to do with your Safari password file

First you must import the passwords file into another app, such as 1Password or another browser, such as Chrome. And then you must delete the text file.

Don't put it off until you've checked all of the passwords have successfully moved over to the new device and the new browser, delete it anyway. If something's gone wrong, you're just going to have to redo the password text file, so there is no benefit to keeping it around.

And, there are only risks in leaving a file like that around.

How to export Safari bookmarks from your iPhone or iPad to a Mac or PC

If you keep certain pages bookmarked in Safari on your iPhone or iPad and want to export those same bookmarks to your Mac or PC, then you’re in luck because there’s a way you can do this without wasting too much of your time.

We’ll show you how you can do it on both your Mac and your Windows computer.

Make sure iCloud handles your bookmarks

To export your iPhone’s Safari bookmarks to your Mac or PC, you need to have iCloud syncing enabled for Safari on your iPhone and the device you want to sync with. Follow these steps to do that:

• Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
• Tap your name from the top.
• Hit iCloud > Show All and make sure the switch next to Safari is enabled.

After you enable this setting, your bookmarks from Safari on your iOS device are going to be uploaded to iCloud, so your other iCloud-enabled devices can sync them. So, make sure all your devices are connected to the internet.

Export iPhone or iPad bookmarks

To your mac.

If you followed the steps above, then your iOS device’s bookmarks are already in the cloud at this point, and now you can start exporting them to your computer. This section will show you how to do that on your Mac.

To start, go to the Apple menu  > System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud and make sure you have a checkmark in the Safari checkbox.

Now that you have enabled Safari bookmarks syncing via iCloud on your Mac, the bookmarks you uploaded from your iOS device will now be downloaded to Safari on your Mac.

Next, launch Safari on your Mac and go to File > Export > Bookmarks… from the Menu Bar.

When prompted, choose a place to save the export and click on the blue Save button:

Now you should be left with an HTML file that contains all your bookmarks:

Import Safari bookmarks to Chrome or Firefox

You can use this as a backup if you ever need to import your bookmarks to Safari again or another web browser like Chrome or Firefox, for that matter. The import process for each web browser differs, but all browsers should be able to import that file. Here’s how:

Chrome : Open Chrome on your Mac and click the three dots icon from the top right. Here, pick Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks and Settings . Next, click the dropdown menu and choose Bookmarks HTML File . Finally, click Choose File , select the Safari Bookmarks HTML file and hit Open .

Firefox : Launch Firefox on Mac and press Command + Shift + O to go to Bookmarks manager. From here, click the two-arrow icon and choose Import Bookmarks from HTML .

To your Windows PC

If you have a Windows machine, things are a little more convoluted because you have a different operating system that Apple has no control over. Nevertheless, it’s still possible to export your iOS device’s bookmarks to your Windows PC.

The first thing you’re going to want to do is to make sure you followed the first section of this post and enabled iCloud syncing for Safari bookmarks on your iPhone or iPad.

Next, you need to download iCloud for Windows if you don’t already have it, which is a free download from Apple’s website. After you install it, or if you already have it installed, launch your iCloud dashboard on your PC.

Next, you’re going to want to put a checkmark in the Bookmarks checkbox:

By default, iCloud will sync your bookmarks with Microsoft Edge (earlier Internet Explorer), but you can change this to Chrome or Firefox (depending on what you have installed) by clicking on the Options… button. Once you get the Bookmarks Options prompt, choose the web browser you want to sync with and click OK .

Once satisfied, click the Apply button from the main iCloud dashboard, and this will save your changes.

The very same bookmarks you have on your iOS device should now be synced to the web browser of your choice on your Windows PC.

Now that you know a way to keep your bookmarks in sync across your mobile devices and your computer, you can easily pick up on your computer where you left off on your mobile device.

Were you able to export your iOS device’s bookmarks to your computer without any trouble? Let us know in the comments!

How to Import, Export and Manage Passwords in Safari Mac?

You need a username or email address and password to login into websites and apps. With hundreds of free and premium services available in this digital world, managing passwords is one of the biggest tasks for any user. Though password manage apps are available for Mac, it is an additional option that you need to use. The simple and best option is to use the in-built password management tools in Safari browser. If you are not familiar with Safari password manager, here we will explain how to use it effectively along with importing and exporting your passwords.

Safari Password Management in Mac

Similar to Google Chrome , Firefox and Edge, Apple provides an in-built password management tool in Safari for Mac and iPhone. However, unlike other browsers, Safari stores all the passwords in iCloud Keychain and synchronize across all your devices automatically. You can find all your passwords in the browser as well as open Keychain Access app in Mac to find them. Below are some of the prominent features of Safari password manager:

• You can save passwords and synchronize across your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple devices signed in with the same iCloud account.
• Edit and delete the stored passwords when needed.
• Import and export passwords for bulk editing or moving to another Mac.
• Check your passwords are compromised in data leak and update if required.
• Find reused and easy passwords and update to improve your online security.

It is a comprehensive tool within the browser. However, anyone having your administrator password can view and edit the password entries. Therefore, make sure to use the tool on your personal Mac with single access and not in family or public machines.

Saving Passwords in Safari Mac

Whenever you login to a website with username and password, Safari will prompt you to save your password in the iCloud Keychain. Click on “Save Password” button to store the password in Keychain Access app and sync across all your logged in devices. You can also opt to ignore the prompt temporarily or never save the password for that site.

Opening Safari Password Manager

When you are in Safari browser, press “Command + ,” shortcut keys . Alternatively, go to “Safari” menu and select “Preferences…” option. This will open Safari settings dialog box and click on “Passwords” tab. You will see a message like below showing that the passwords are locked. Enter the admin password for your Mac to unlock the screen.

Safari password manager will open up and show you all the saved passwords in the browser.

Viewing Passwords in Keychain Access

As mentioned, you can also open Keychain Access app and manage the saved passwords in Safari browser. Use the search box to find the password for any website and double click on the entry.  

On the pop-up, select “Show password” checkbox under “Attributes” tab. You need to enter the admin password to show the saved password for that website.

That’s being said, we will not discuss further about Keychain Access in this article and focus on managing passwords within Safari browser.

Finding Compromised Passwords in Data Breach

Similar to Google Chrome and Edge , Safari also offers the suggestion to show whether your passwords are compromised in previous data breaches. You will find the following security recommendations on the left sidebar just below the website name.

• Compromised – your password was leaked in the previous data leak and you should immediately change it.
• Reused – you will find this when using same password on multiple websites. It is recommended not to use the same password for multiple services so that all your accounts will not be affected in case of data leak.
• Easily guessed – your password can be easily guessed by hackers and you should immediately change it.

You will also find a warning symbol next to the items with security issues. Click on any of the item that shows warning to get more details of the security recommendations. Make sure you have enabled, “Detect compromised passwords” checkbox so that you will find all the above security issues related to your passwords. Otherwise, Safari will not check your passwords for data leak.

Copying Saved Password

There are multiple options to edit your passwords in Safari. First, select the item you want to change the password. Hover your mouse over the password field and Safari will show you the password. Click on “Copy Password” option to copy the password to your clipboard.

Changing and Deleting Passwords

The best option is to change the password on the website and update the same in Safari. For that, click on “Change Password on Website” button to open the corresponding website in a new tab. Now login with your old password and change it to new one as per the options provided by the website. You can use password generator tools to create strong password with symbols and special characters which is hard to guess.

Alternatively, you can directly edit the password in Safari and then update on the website. Click on “Edit” button to update your password and save the changes.  

Click on “Delete Password” button if you want to delete the entry from the browser. Note that you can also share the password using AirDrop to anyone nearer to you.

Import and Export Passwords in Safari Mac

Though managing individual passwords is easy, sometimes you need to update the passwords in bulk. In this case, you can download the complete list of all your passwords in a CSV file, edit them and upload the file back in Safari. This is a good option since browsers like Chrome does not provide importing option .

• When you are in the passwords section, click on the small down arrow showing below the passwords section on the left sidebar.
• You will see two options – Import Passwords and Export Passwords.

• Select “Export Passwords” to download the password file to your Mac. You will see a warning message like below indicating the passwords can be seen without any encryption in the downloaded file. Click on “Export Passwords…” button to continue.

• Select the location to save your password file and you will get another prompt to enter admin password. As you can see the message will ask you to confirm that Safari is trying to export passwords from iCloud Keychain. Enter you admin password and click “OK” button to download the file.

• By default, the file name will be “passwords.csv” which you can change during the download. Open the file using Numbers or Excel app and the file contains – title, URL, username, password and OTPAuth columns. Add or edit the data you want and save the file.

• Now, go back to Safari password section, and click on “Import Passwords…” option.
• Select your updated passwords file and import the data.

Remember, Safari will overwrite any existing entries and add the new entries. All your entries will be saved in iCloud Keychain and synchronized across all devices logged with same iCloud account .

Final Words

In our opinion, Safari password manager is sufficient to manage all your passwords when you use the Mac single handedly. However, when you have to share the Mac with others like family members, anyone having access to admin password can view and modify the passwords in Safari browser. If you do not want this, you may need to use a third-party app with a master password.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to import saved passwords from safari to chrome.

Planning to switch to Google Chrome as your preferred web browser on your Mac? If so, you’ll be relieved to know that importing your saved passwords from Safari to Chrome is a lot easier than you think.

Safari is the default web browser on macOS devices, similar to how Microsoft Edge is on Windows. Most people hesitate to switch to a different browser, just because they’re worried about losing all their browsing data. However, that’s not an issue at all anymore considering most web browsers today allow you to import bookmarks, saved passwords, autofill data, etc. in a matter of seconds.

Interested in learning how you can seamlessly make the switch? Look no further, because in this article, we’ll be discussing exactly how you can import saved passwords from Safari to Google Chrome.

Importing browsing data such as bookmarks, saved passwords, autofill information, etc. is a fairly simple and straightforward procedure in Google Chrome. Make sure you’ve installed the latest version of Chrome on your Mac before you go ahead with the procedure.

That’s pretty much all there is to it. Now you know how to import saved passwords from Safari to Google Chrome.

Although we were focusing on saved passwords in this article, you can use the same procedure to import other browsing data such as favorites, bookmarks, autofill data, search history and more from Safari. Just make sure to check the respective boxes while importing and you’re set.

One of the many reasons why Safari users might want to switch to Google Chrome is because of the robust password manager feature that’s baked into the web browser. If you’re switching to Firefox instead, you won’t be able to automatically import your Safari passwords, since Firefox lacks the Keychain integration that Chrome has.

We hope you were able to import your saved passwords from Safari to Chrome without any issues. What do you think about the automatic import feature that’s available on most modern-day web browsers? Make sure to share your thoughts and experience in the comments section down below.

Please delete this page. It’s just plain wrong information.

This simply doesn’t work. I have the latest version of chrome and bookmarks/favorites is the only option that comes up to import. Not passwords.

I just imported Bookmarks from Safari to Chrome, through Firefox: I imported Safari to Firefox, and then Firefox to Chrome:

Open FireFox -> Setting -> Privacy & Security -> Scroll down to “Saved Logins” under Logins and Password -> clicked on the 3 dots on the upper right “. . .” and then “Import from Another Browser” and was able to select Safari.

That said, it got the bookmarks to Chrome but didn’t bring the saved logins or any autofill with it.

Unfortunately, your Windows screenshots do not reflect the Mac experience. The only way to get Safari bookmarks into Chrome is to first export them to a location on your computer (such as the Desktop) and them import them (as an HTML file) into Chrome. Currently there is no way to import passwords or other Safari functionality into Chrome on a Mac. (In both Catalina and Big Sur)

In addition one of your screenshots mistakenly highlights “Downloads” instead of “Bookmarks”.

If you’re going to provide instructions please verify them before posting.

I don’t have Safari as an option, only FireFox. How do we solve that?

Didn’t work for me. The “Import bookmarks and settings” window did not list Safari as a selection option.

Safari wasn’t listed for me either.

Safari is not a choice under “import bookmarks and settings” – only Firefox was when I tried (and all of my saved passwords are in Safari) – This does not work :(

The imported bookmarks go into a folder “imported from Safari.” I delete all the Chrome bookmarks, but still have my imported bookmarks all in this new subfolder.

I can obviously rename that to “Safari’ or “imported” or whatever. I cannot find how to REPLACE this into the main bookmark bar though. That is, I really want the Chrome bookmark Favorites bar to look like the existing Safari Favorites bar.

What am I missing???

How to Export Passwords From Chrome, Firefox, and Safari

Saving your passwords in a browser is okay, but dedicated password managers have more advanced features. You can save notes, files, Wi-Fi information, medical data, and other data types. Here’s how to export passwords out of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Export Passwords From Chrome

• For Google Chrome you can either click on your profile photo and then the password button, or enter chrome://settings/passwords in the address bar.
• In the Saved Passwords section, click on the uppermost three dot icon and then click Export Passwords > Export . You may have to enter your computer password to continue.
• Choose a folde r in which to save the CSV file and save it.

Export Passwords From Firefox

• For Firefox you can click on the three-line menu button, then click Logins and Passwords .
• Click on the three-dot menu button and choose Export Logins > Export . You may have to enter your computer password to continue.
• Choose a folder in which to save the CSV file and save it.

Export Passwords From Safari

Passwords in macOS is a bit different. Apple passwords are not stored directly in Safari, they are stored in a separate app called Keychain Access. You can find this using Spotlight or in the Applications > Utilities folder .

• There are system keychains and iCloud keychains, so choose which one you’d like. If you have multiple Apple devices with iCloud turned on, you’re probably using iCloud Keychain.
• Click on File > Export Items . If this menu entry is grayed then it means at least one of those items can’t be exported.
• Choose a folder in which to save the file, click the File Format menu and choose a file type, then click Save.
• Enter your Mac password and save the file.

Exporting password + one-time codes from iCloud Keychain is now officially supported in macOS Monterey and Safari 15 (for Monterey, Big Sur, and Catalina). Open Safari, and in the menu bar choose File > Export > Passwords . On macOS Monterey can also go to System Preferences > Passwords , click the circle-with-three-dots icon at the bottom of the side menu, and choose Export Passwords .

Importing to a Password Manager

These steps are tricky because each password manager typically have their own way of importing or support different file formats. For example:

• Bitwarden only supports importing passwords on its website.
• 1Password has the same limitation , at least for CSV files.
• LastPass has CSV import instructions here , using the browser extension and its website.
• Dashlane’s web app instructions can be found here . The company has further instructions on how the CSV file should be formatted here .

Those are the top four most popular password managers. If you’re using a different app you may need to search for their own help and support instructions.

One thought on “ How to Export Passwords From Chrome, Firefox, and Safari ”

This is wonderful article. Exporting passwords is very useful for people likely to forget passwords like me.

Do you find that you are doing more and more Web surfing on your iPad?

You are definitely not alone, as an increasing number of people are finding that the ease of using an iPad for normal Web browsing is far more convenient than getting out a laptop computer and waiting for it to boot up.

As a matter of fact, I find that I use my iPad more frequently than my laptop, and tend to only use my laptop if I need to specifically use a powerful program on the computer, like Photoshop, or if I have to do a lot of typing.

But my increase in iPad Web browsing has led to the majority of my bookmarks being located on the iPad, which can make it inconvenient to find that bookmark later on my computer.

You can rectify this problem by using iCloud to export bookmarks from your iPad to your computer.

How to Export Safari Bookmarks from iPad (Guide with Pictures)

The first thing you need to do is configure iCloud on your iPad. You can do this by tapping the Settings icon on your iPad. Note that this process is also a good way for you to learn how to backup your iPad Safari bookmarks .

Tap the iCloud option at the left side of the window, type your Apple ID and password into the fields at the center of the window, then tap the Sign In button. You will receive a few notifications about merging contacts and uploading some data to iCloud, so choose the options that you would like to use.

Tap the Bookmarks button so that it says On .

You are now done configuring your iPad to share the bookmarks from your Safari browser. The next step is to get iCloud on your PC and configure that to store your iPad Safari bookmarks.

How to Transfer Bookmarks from iPad to PC

While it would seem like you could control iCloud from iTunes, that is not the case. You actually need to download an extra program to your Windows PC called the iCloud Control Panel. Fortunately this program is available for free, and you can download it at Apple’s website from this link .

Click the Download button at the right side of the window, then save the file to your computer.

Double-click the downloaded file, then follow the instructions until the installation process has completed.

Once the iCloud Control Panel has been installed, you can click the Start button at the bottom-left corner of your screen, then click the Control Panel button at the right side of the menu.

Click the drop-down menu at the top-right corner of the window, click the Small icons option, then click the iCloud option. Take note of this location, as you may be inclined to look for the program in the All Programs menu.

Type your Apple ID and password into their respective fields at the center of the window (these need to be the same values that you used when you set up iCloud on your iPad) then click the Sign In button at the bottom of the window.

Check the box to the left of Bookmarks , then click the Merge button to merge the bookmarks on your computer with the bookmarks on your iPad.

Click the Options button to the right of Bookmarks , then select the browser that you want to use your iCloud bookmarks with. After selecting the desired browser, click the OK button.

This will return you to the original iCloud Control Panel window. Click the Apply button at the bottom of this window to apply the changes that you have just made.

You should now be able to open the browser that you selected and see all of your iPad Safari bookmarks have been exported to the chosen browser on your PC.

How to Change Computers to Sync with iPhone

• Recovering Passwords From Safari
• Why Does the iPad Backup Take So Long?

If you're using Apple Safari to browse the web on your business computer, home computer or iPhone, you might want to make sure you have a way to back up your bookmarks and saved passwords. If you lose this data in a system failure, you probably don't want to be stuck spending valuable time reconstructing it. There are a tools you can use for a backup of Safari bookmarks and passwords, including making a copy of the Safari bookmarks and syncing the data to Apple's iCloud system.

Safari Bookmarks and iCloud

Like most modern web browsers, Safari enables you to bookmark web pages you plan to revisit.

You can store this data on your computer or iPhone running Safari, but you can also choose to sync it to Apple's iCloud servers. To store bookmarks to the cloud on an iPhone, tap the "Settings" app on the home screen, and then tap your name. Then, tap "iCloud." Use the toggle switch to turn on iCloud support for Safari.

If you're using a Mac, click the Apple menu represented by the Apple logo in the top left corner of your screen. Then click "System Preferences." Click "iCloud," and click the checkbox next to "Safari."

If you have some Windows computers you use at home or work, you can also sync the bookmarks from your favorite Windows browsers to iCloud. Open iCloud for Windows and check the checkbox next to "Bookmarks." Click the "Options" button to specify what browsers you want to sync data to Apple's cloud.

Safari Passwords and iCloud

You can export Safari passwords to Apple's cloud and sync them between devices. You can do this using Apple's Keychain feature.

On an iPhone, tap the "Settings" app on the home screen, then tap your name. Tap "iCloud", then "Keychain" and turn "iCloud Keychain" on using the toggle switch. Enter your password, and create a security code if you're prompted to do so.

On a Mac, click the Apple menu, then click "System Preferences." Click "iCloud" and then "iCloud Keychain." Log in with your Apple ID and password, and enter the security code you created or request confirmation on your phone. Once your iOS and macOS devices are all set up to use the system, they will each prompt you to securely save passwords, payment information and other sensitive data to the cloud for safekeeping from Safari.

Export Safari Bookmarks

If you don't use iCloud, you can still back up your Safari data or transfer it to a new Mac. You simply need to know the Safari bookmarks location, which is within your home directory in a hidden "Library" folder. To make this folder visible, you can launch a Terminal window by clicking the Terminal app in the Utilities subfolder of the Applications folder and typing "chflags nohidden ~/Library."

On recent versions of macOS, you can also make the folder visible through Finder. To do so, open your home directory in Finder by clicking the "Go" menu and then "Home." Then, click the "View" menu and click "Show View Options." Check the box next to "Show Library Folder."

Now, navigate to the Library folder in your home folder and go to the Safari folder. Look for a file called Bookmarks.plist that contains your Safari bookmarks. Copy this file to a cloud storage storage system, a USB stick or another place you feel comfortable storing it to back it up. Remember that someone who has access to the place you store the file will be able to know which sites you bookmarked, so only store them somewhere you feel comfortable.

If you wish to restore this file or transfer it to a new computer, copy it back to this location, overwriting the initial file – but keep in mind that you'll lose any bookmarks created since the point of your last backup.

Export Safari Passwords

Your saved passwords for Safari and other Mac software are usually stored in "Library/Keychains" in your home directory. Navigate to this folder and back up the files somewhere safe.

When you need to restore them or transfer them, copy them to this folder. You can give them new names to avoid overwriting existing Keychain files. Then, launch the Keychain Access app in the Utilities subfolder of the Applications folder. Click the "File" menu and click "Add Keychain," navigating to the Keychain file you wish to import.

Enter the password you used on the previous computer or before the backup. Make sure you do not install or store keychains on a system you don't trust, because someone could use the files to access your passwords.

• Although you could copy the files to another folder on your Mac's hard drive, it is advisable to copy them to a folder on an external storage device. Doing so means that you won't lose the backups as well as the original files if your Mac's hard drive is damaged. Alternatively, you could copy them to an online storage provider such as Google Drive or Dropbox.

Export password from Safari

How can I export the passwords from Safari (MacOs Catalina)?

It seems I don't have the File>Export>passwords option! If I click on File it shows only and directly "export bookmarks...". No simple "export"

Any suggestion?

Import bookmarks, history, and passwords in Safari on Mac - Apple Support says to use Safari's File menu  > Export > Passwords

If you do not have that option you may need a newer macOS version. I'm not sure when that feature was added.

You could also use iCloud Keychain to automatically synchronize your passwords among all your Apple devices: Set up iCloud Keychain - Apple Support . That will work with older macOS versions.

Syncing Microsoft Edge and Safari bookmarks via icloud

With my previous laptop, i could sync my chrome bookmarks on my laptop with the safari bookmarks in my ipad using icloud and choosing 'chrome' in the browser selection in the icloud application in the laptop (there are 3 choices there: internet explorer, Firefox and Chrome). That worked fine.

Now I have a new laptop with Microsoft Edge on it. Suppose I import all the bookmarks from Chrome to Edge, can i now sync the Edge bookmarks with the safari bookmarks on the ipad using icloud in the same way. I am asking because there is no "Edge" entry in the icloud application. What shall i choose (if possible at all..) in this case (IE-?, Firefox-No!, Chrome-No!). Is this doable or shall i stay with chrome on new laptop and safari on ipad ?

Hi sh1406 ,

Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

It sounds like that you currently need to sync bookmarks to the Microsoft Edge. As Chrome and iClound are not a product of Microsoft, we cannot provide you with more help, but here are some suggestions:

Since there is no option to sync directly to the Edge, it seems like you have to take two steps.Since IE and Edge are the products of Microsoft, you can try to sync IE first and then sync to Edge.And Since Edge and Chrome are the same core, you can try to sync Chrome first and then sync to Edge.

If direct synchronization does not solve the problem, you can try to export bookmarks from other browsers and then import Edge.

For this,kindly check：

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

Thanks for your feedback.

This is easily doable, though not necessarily intuitive. Since Microsoft Edge can install Chrome extensions, you simply need to install the iCloud Chrome extension in Edge ( iCloud Bookmarks - Chrome Web Store (google.com) ) and select Chrome in the iCloud application (you might want to remove the extension from your Chrome application in order to prevent conflicts).

I've just used this setup successfully to sync Edge bookmarks with Safari on iOS (iPhone and iPad); it seems the iCloud application accepts the sync instructions from Edge because it is the same engine (Chromium).

Oh, how we love our internet browser bookmarks. Whether you use this nifty tool to save your settings or as a shortcut to get to your favorite articles, videos and food sites, your bookmarks bar is vital to your daily website use.

But to make sure you don't lose all of your favorite bookmarks when you update your computer , you'll want to make sure you know how to export bookmarks from Chrome , one of the most popular web browsers. A few simple steps will save all of them when you either update to a new computer or when you restore your browser settings in Chrome.

Luckily, Google Chrome makes it pretty easy to export your bookmarks.

How to Export Your Chrome Bookmarks

How to move your exported bookmarks, how to import bookmarks in chrome, why should i export my chrome bookmarks.

• Open Chrome .
• In your Chrome browser, you should see an icon in the top right corner with three vertical dots. Click the dots.
• A drop-down menu will appear with options. Hover over Bookmarks and then click Bookmark Manager.
• Once the Bookmark Manager window opens, you'll see a vertical three dot icon at the very top-right corner of the screen. Click the dots and select Export Bookmarks.
• This will direct you to a pop-up window where you'll choose where on your computer to save the HTML file. Give your bookmarks file a descriptive name and designate where you want the file to be saved.

When it's time to transfer the HTML file over to a new computer, email the file to yourself as an attachment (or upload it to the cloud) and follow the same steps. This will allow you to import Chrome bookmarks from your previous setup.

If you're moving from another web browser to Chrome, follow the instructions from your old browser to export your bookmarks as an HTML file.

• Open Chrome.
• Select the vertical three-dot icon in the top right corner.
• From the menu, hover over Bookmarks and Lists and then select Import Bookmarks and Settings.
• Select the Choose File option.
• Choose the desired file, then select Done.

That's it! Now, you'll have access to all of your imported bookmarks in Chrome.

Most browsers want you to keep using them, but the fact is, preferences and circumstances change. If you're thinking of making a change, you'll likely want your bookmarks file to travel with you. There are some good reasons why you might want to export or import bookmarks in your web browser.

• New computer: If you're updating your computer, you can usually retain your Chrome bookmarks by signing into Chrome once you're set up in the new machine. However, it can still be a good idea to export an HTML file just in case there's a hiccup, or if you're also changing your email server.
• New browser: Your bookmark manager is an effective tool, but it's linked to whatever browser you were using when you started making bookmarks. If you're moving from Chrome to a different browser, such as Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari , you'll need to export your Chrome bookmarks in order to keep them.
• Unexpected Problems: It's not the most pleasant thing to contemplate, but computers crash. They also get water spilled on them, or get dropped or even lost. In the era of the Cloud, it's harder to lose crucial info, but sometimes things happen. Having a bookmarks HTML file as a backup can give you some of that priceless peace of mind.

Import bookmarks and passwords from other browsers in Safari on Mac

If Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox is your default browser, you can automatically import your bookmarks, history and passwords when you first start using Safari, or manually import them later.

You can also import bookmarks that were exported in HTML format from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and some other web browsers. And you can import passwords that were exported to a CSV file from a password app or another browser.

Imported bookmarks appear after your existing bookmarks.

Imported history appears with your existing history.

Imported passwords go into your iCloud Keychain, so you can autofill sign-in information on websites.

Automatically import from Chrome or Firefox

If this is the first time you’ve opened Safari after using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, a message at the bottom of the start page asks you if you want to keep imported items.

Select an option:

Keep your imported items: Safari keeps your imported bookmarks, history and passwords from Chrome and Firefox.

Remove your imported items: Safari removes your imported items.

Decide later: Return to the start page and import the items at another time. To see the start page, choose Bookmarks > Show Start Page.

Manually import items from Chrome or Firefox

You can do this any time after you start using Safari, even if you imported items already.

You must have Chrome or Firefox installed on your Mac to import.

Select the items you want to import.

Click Import.

After you import bookmarks, they appear in the sidebar under Bookmarks in a new folder whose name begins with “Imported” and ends with the date.

Import a passwords file

Select the CSV file to import.

Enter the login password for your Mac.

If a password you’re importing doesn’t match a password you’ve saved to your Mac, you can see the related account, username and password saved to your Mac, then choose which one to keep. See At least one password wasn’t imported .
