Before moving ahead, let’s sort out a couple of important questions!
So, How Do You Sync Chrome Passwords with Safari on Your Mac?
Now, you must be wondering how the passwords importing from Google Chrome to Apple Safari work. Well, let me tell you that Safari offers a native way to bring all bookmarks and passwords. For a seamless switching experience, Safari allows you to automatically bring your browsing history from other browsers like Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, OmniWeb, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. Besides, you can also do it manually at your own convenience. On top of all, Apple also lets you import passwords and bookmarks that were exported in HTML format.
What Happens When You Transfer Passwords from Chrome to Safari?
All your imported passwords are automatically synced with iCloud Keychain – Apple’s built-in password manager. Hence, you can autofill sign-in information on websites across your iDevices including Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Automatically Transfer Passwords from Google Chrome to Apple Safari
Keep your imported items: Let Safari keep your imported bookmarks, history, and passwords from Chrome and Firefox. Remove your imported items: Allow Safari to remove your imported items. Decide later: Click on it to import the items at another time. To view the start page, click on Bookmarks and choose Show Start Page.
For the purpose of this guide, we will choose the first option, “Keep imported items”.
