Recover Browser Passwords

Recover Browser Passwords KB ID 0001885

Problem

I use quite a lot of browsers, I use Microsoft Edge for work, Firefox for personal browsing, Opera when I need VPN protected browsing, and occasionally I also use Safari and Chrome.

All modern browsers will store usernames and password for you, but when you get a new device or start using a new browser, you may need to go and recover browser passwords (and possibly usernames) from your other browsers.

Disclaimer :I’m not a numpty, these are not my real usernames and passwords folks!
