Is there a way to view and print all passwords stored in Chrome?
I know there is a way to view individual passwords: open Chrome, at top right click on the 3 vertical dots> settings> at bottom click on Advanced and under "Passwords and forms" click on Manage Passwords> under "Saved Passwords" click More (three dots again) and View details> to the right of the dotted out password, click Preview (the eye). With this you only get the one password and there doesn't seem to be a way to produce a complete listing.

Hi Jack,
I assume you have the latest version of Chrome (59). The process is a two step process.
Step 1: Enable the Password Import - Export function in Chrome
1) Open Chrome and enter the following in the address bar and press the Enter key
chrome://flags/#password-import-export
2) This will open Chrome's flag settings with Password Import Export setting at the top of the page highlighted. 3) Click the drop down box and change the setting form Default to Enabled. This will allow the Export of the passwords. 4) Close Chrome and then reopen. This applies the change you made.
Step 2: Export the Passwords
1) Open chrome. 2) The next step is where what version you have differs.
If version 59 then enter the following in the address bar and press the Enter key:
Chrome://settings-frame/passwords
The Password box will open. Click the Export key, you will need to enter the Windows password for the user logged on, then select a name and location to save the file. It will generate a csv (comma-separated values) which will open with any text editor.
If version <59 then enter the following in the address bar and press the Enter key:
chrome://settings/passwords
The password box will open and follow the export instructions above.
The difference in the different versions is where the Export button is found.

As always, drcard's advice is spot on and much appreciated. I can offer only one suggestion: After printing and safeguarding the results, delete the file to avoid compromising your passwords.
