A little while ago, I deleted my passwords in Google Chrome, thinking that this would only apply to that particular device. Unfortunately, I found that this action had been synced to all devices, meaning that I lost the passwords.
I have recently found that Google Chrome on one of my devices is unsynced (more specifically, it is inviting me to Sign in to start sync
). On this device, my old passwords are all there.
I would like to be able to sign in here and get the passwords synced across to my other devices. However, I'm terrified that the opposite will happen, and the passwords will be deleted from the device that still has them.
What will happen if I sync from the device I've found? Will I get the passwords on all devices? Or will I lose them altogether?
Alternatively, is there a 'safe' way to transfer the passwords that guarantees I will not lose them? If it helps, I can get up both synced and unsynced browsers on the same system (Chromium and Google Chrome).
