And as the import or export function loops through each password record, data in the new Notes field will be captured or written. Google is adding a column in the file for importing and exporting to save Notes. The code change to implement support for importing and exporting Notes in the Chrome Password Manager is relatively simple. Note, no pun intended, that I added the Notes field manually to the file for illustration purposes. Just for fun, I exported a test file from the Chrome Password Manager and sure enough, the above-mentioned fields are the only ones there. With the launch of notes for passwords, import and export flows need to be updated to include the new field.

And of course, exporting notes is sort of pointless without the ability to import them, so that’s in the works too:Ĭurrently only “username”, “ulr”, and “password” are exported and the same fields can be imported. I found a bug internally reported at Google last month requesting this addition. That’s changing though because the Chrome Password Manager will add Notes to your password exports. If you export your passwords from Chrome currently, those Notes don’t come along for the ride.

And the latest upcoming feature builds upon the addition of custom Notes you can add. The Google Chrome Password Manager has been getting an overhaul for a while now.
