Any way of migrating chrome passwords to other password managers? And any good free password managers? That's what's keeping me from switching
Bitwarden has a great free tier, it’s open source, and cross platform. I highly recommend it!

If you want something that’s not cloud focused, check out KeepassXC too!
Another vote for bitwarden, mobile apps are great as well. If you are so inclined, it can be self-hosted if you want to retain full control
@xenspidey @DolphinMath one note though, BitWarden requires MSSQL (you read that right, Microsoft SQL Server).
@rysiek
I believe Vaultwarden works with SQLite and Postgres if that were a concern.

@DolphinMath correct. But Vaultwarden is not the official thing. Not saying it's bad, just something to keep in mind.
@rysiek Fair enough! Not official in the sense that the Bitwarden team doesn’t support it I suppose.
It definitely has some community backing though.
In chrome, you can export the passwords to a CSV file. You can then use the CSV file to import the passwords into Firefox or a password manager.
Here are the instructions for bitwarden: https://bitwarden.com/help/import-from-chrome/
