observer Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Is there a way to export passwords from Mx5? I have about 800 passwords stored, so manual export isn't an option. Guys, who already migrated to any other browser, how did you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 i did it one at a time - i have a memory that may be wrong that it can be done by a html file but that would only give a list if it is even possible - you would still have to enter them back manually Tony - Vivaldi 4 on Windows 10 64Bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7twenty Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 There's no direct way, BUT there is a workaround, that with a little work should be able to get all your passwords into whatever browser. To get the passwords out of Maxthon follow the instructions in this post: From there you'll need to clean up the file to remove all the extraneous data to leave the site url, username and password. Save that as a CSV file in the following format: name,url,username,password maxthon,forum.maxthon.com,myusername,mypassword name - can be anything, doesn't seem to be imported - used as reference only url - to be used to match for auto-fill. Must start with http:// or it won't be imported username - username for the site password - password for the site Using Chrome, goto chrome://flags, find the option for "Password import and export" and set it to Enabled. Restart Chrome, goto Settings > Passwords & forms > Manage passwords > import, select the .CSV file you saved above. The passwords should be imported. From there you should be able to go to almost any other browser and just import the data from Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7twenty Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Getting the data out of the HTML is a little bit of work. There's sites online that can strip the HTML and leave you with mostly readable text, but that's obviously not the most ideal option seeing as passwords are involved, and is NOT recommended. Most decent text editors can search and replace any text. I found using the cmd line find command a few times cleans out most of the HTML, and leaves you with a pretty reasonable amount of stuff that can easily be cleaned with search & replace command of the repeated lines. Where x1.txt is the name of the file that you saved. find "View details" x1.txt - finds site name find "search-item" x1.txt - finds the urls for each site find "caname search-item" x1.txt - finds usernames find "readonly value" x1.txt - finds password From there you can copy/paste as required to get it into the correct format. Or even better just use Excel to combine the cleaned data into the required CSV columns if you're familiar with that. There's probably a number of other ways you can do it as well. That's just what i've played around with and am familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha07 Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Thanks for the link. Alterantively, I followed this process. Copied PassKeeper html code through open source view (which you can have through F12 and be more selective as well). Pasted on some text editor Replaced <input type="password" class="originpwd" name="password" readonly="" value=" to nothing Saved and opened .html in browser showing visible password along with ">. Copied entire table with header in excel Formatted as a table in excel and removed delete header Renamed other headers appropriately (I used per Lastpass) Replace "> to nothing for all passwords Saved .csv and imported to LastPass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
