I recently wrote this post explaining how to view all the passwords that Google has stored from your Chrome browser and Android mobile devices.
That post ended up receiving a lot of attention and several folks asked questions about it.
Several folks asked if there’s a way to print out the passwords that are stored in their Google accounts.
While there’s no way to print Google’s stored password list directly, you can easily download the list to your computer as a CSV file and then print it.
Just follow the steps below to print all the passwords that Google has stored from your devices:
1 – Click here to visit the “Password Manager” page in your Google account (sign in to your account if you’re prompted to do so).
2 – Click the “gear” shaped Settings icon that’s located near the top of the page.
3 – Find the line labeled “Export passwords” and click the Export button located on the right-hand side of that line.
4 – Read the warning message, then click Export and enter your Google password (if prompted to do so).
Note: You should now have a plain text file named Google Passwords.csv in your “Downloads” folder that contains a list of all your stored passwords.
5 – Open the Google Passwords.csv file in Excel, Notepad (or your favorite text editor) and you’ll see the list of stored passwords.
Note: You’ll be able to more easily view and use the downloaded info if you open it in a spreadsheet application. If you don’t have Microsoft Excel you can download Libre Office from here for free. Just click the Download link on the top menu.
6 – You can now print the file.
That’s all there is to it. After following the instructions listed above you’ll have a hard-copy printout of all the passwords that Google has stored from your Chrome browser and Android mobile devices.
Bonus tip: All of the above being said, it’s really a bad idea to use any type of password manager. These posts explain why.
