    IRON Versión 61.0.3200.0 does not allow any method to import.

    chrome://flags/#password-import-export:
    does not display the popup that had the option to import / export.

    I would like to know if this new functionality is due to the new version of chromium? Or is it because the IRON SRWARE programmers removed this option?

    Thanks

    If Import/Export buttons don´t show up ( Chrome59 ) however, do this to solve it :

    1. Go to chrome://flags

    2. ctrl+f search “material”

    3. Disabled all material design features

    4. Restart

    5. the export button returns

    6. chrome://flags/#password-import-export

    7. Keep in mind to edit the CSV Files to Chrome Format (e.g. coming from FF)

    If anyone can help, I need the path and name of the actual saved password file so I can recover it from a trashed disk partition to hopefully restore it to my present instillation. I was trying to fix the MBR and my win7 disk formatted the drive instead. Which means the above two recovery methods are not viable solutions. :( ouch! any help much appreciated. Oh and yeah, I agree with Pccapso. Any AV should pick that program up as being infected, as it does something which if any other program did, you would definitely have an infected system.

    “it was detected as a Hacker tool!”. It is a hacker tool, not a virus. Relax.

    For anyone else with malware concerns, i cannot vouch for the program or developers, but the program takes and decrypts your stored passwords to export them which is what you want. Any anti viris worth its salt should detect and warn of this behavior because a malicious program would use the same method to steal your passwords, but in this case that is what you have the program for so the alert is a false positive. I would be more worried if an Antivirus did not trigger on it because that would mean that the Antivirus is crap.

    I would not suggest this, as I downloaded then scanned this program for virus, and it was detected as a Hacker tool!

    Chrome identifies ChromePass as malware, so something is going on there. Find another solution!
