Question How to import Google Chrome passwords from local storage

[nvmsuze]

(I apologize in advance if this was posted in the wrong place)

Hello
My laptop crashed and I am using the hard drive from my laptop as an external drive on the computer I am using now. The external drive has my bookmarks and passwords stored in Users/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/Users/Default/Login Data (I don't think I ever signed in while using google chrome on my laptop therefore it is within the default folder) where passwords are usually stored. I can't export/import them because they are encrypted and I cant sign in and do it the usual way. I also can't use the laptop to sign in because the gpu is dead.

1. I tried replacing the entire Google folder on this computer with the Google folder on the external drive but that did not import my passwords. Chrome notifies me that some files were corrupted and were reset to original.
2. I tried changing the file to a .csv file per Chrome's instructions but the file is larger than 150 KB.

As you might imagine, I really need to import my passwords, can someone please help.

Without access to the original copy of Chrome you cannot import the password file. This is exactly why we push backups BEFORE the bad thing happens. You cannot simply change a file extender and expect it to work.
