Chromium removed the flag.

Chromium developers have already returned the password import flag. Now in the 80th, 81st, 82nd Chromium, the flag chrome://flags/#PasswordImport is again available. In Opera 67, 68, this flag also works.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. Opera still would not import automatically but I was able to export a Chrome .csv file to a folder and use the newly present "import" option in Opera to import the csv file successfully.
It is unfortunate that Opera has not incorporated a simpler method.

Are you saying that the import wizard at opera://settings/importData failed to import from Chrome? If so, I'm not sure why it didn't work.

Edit: Unfortunately, opera://settings/importData is failing to import from Chrome for me too (on Win10). Tried in Opera Developer too. Same result. Chrome and all its processes are closed. Must be broken.

Tested in Opera 65 and tested in Vivaldi (both with importing enabled) and the same. I'm guessing that something changed in Chrome/Chromium with the storage of passwords that breaks importing.

@burnout426 Hello, did you try to test import from Chrome in last Stable version 67.0.3575.97?

@olesiak Yes. It doesn't work in 67.0.3575.97 either.

@burnout426 thank you for the reply. What is the Chrome version from which you tried to import data?

I have followed the instructions as well as I have checked in the Check boxes to save passwords, but it still doesn't work. Please teach me how to solve this problem.

@Kimdo go to opera:flags#PasswordImport and enable it, press "Relaunch" button, Go to opera:settings/passwords, click the 3-horizontal-dots symbol on the right of "Saved Passwords", and select "Import", then select your .csv file.
