How to Export and Import Chrome Saved Passwords Using Old Versions of Chrome

How to Save Your Google Chrome Passwords, Bookmarks, and Cookies

Unfortunately as of Chrome Version 78, google has removed the ability to import passwords into chrome.  As an alternative, you can still export them out as a CSV file. But you can never import them back.  However, If you can locate Version 72 of Chrome Enterprise Full Offline Installer, you can install it, with the network cable unplugged, and then import your passwords quickly before, Chrome gets updated to the latest version, and drops the password import feature.  To import passwords, install chrome 72, then disconnect your network, and then go to chrome://flags in the address bar. Search for "Passwords" or "import".  When you locate the import feature, enable it. Then restart Chrome, then go to Settings->passwords and click on the little dots, then import your passwords.

Save the Chrome Data Default Profile

Alternatively, you can grab the file called "Login Data", "Bookmarks" and "Cookies" from %userprofile%\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default and save them to a USB drive, then drop them into another user profile in the same place.
