2 Easy Ways to Backup Chrome Bookmarks and Passwords with Steps 

When it comes to backup, many people would think of using the Google Syncfeature to save all data on different devices. The sync does make it convenient for us to access bookmarks, histories, and settings on computers, smartphones, and tablets. But according to some users' feedback, you may encounter partial data loss, or Google Chrome sync keeps pausing error.

To ensure the security of the backup, we wouldn't cover this method to back up Google Chrome bookmarks and passwords in this article. Instead, two safer solutions will be offered here.

The first method is manually exporting Google Chrome bookmarks and passwords to HTML or CSV files. The other way is using a professional backup tool to save copies of bookmarks and passwords automatically. You can choose according to your needs.

Now let's dive into the specific guide with steps and screenshots:

Method 1. Manually Export Chrome Bookmarks and Passwords to HTML or CSV File

The backup can be saved externally or to the Cloud, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and EaseUS Cloud.

With it, you don't need to save copies of bookmarks and passwords manually each time, which is very suitable for changing browser data.
