Export passwords from Yandex Browser

Alert

Don't send the file or archive containing your passwords by email, don't give anyone access to them, and delete the file or archive immediately after importing your passwords.

Note

The archive is downloaded in ZIP format.

  1. Click  → Passwords and personal data.

  2. If you have created master password enter it to access the storage.

  3. Click  → Export passwords in the upper-right corner of the Passwords section.

  4. Select To a password-protected archive.

  5. Enter a password, which should be at least 6 characters long.

  6. To confirm, enter the password again and click Export.

    Note

    If you don't have a master password but do have a Windows or macOS password, the browser will ask you to enter it. This is safe: Yandex Browser can't access your system password since you enter it in a system window. Linux doesn't have system passwords.
