What would work is to enable Google Sync on all of these profiles, I however don't trust Google with everything and many of the profiles don't have a Google account associated with them.

I'm not very comfortable with having all these clear text passwords sit on my computer unencrypted so I can enter them when needed, I would much rather have the whole thing sync in an easier (and potentially safer) way. I found the password export/import feature which is a tedious task for 40+ profiles but while the export really does show all the passwords in plain text, the import feature does not seem to work - after opening the csv using the import feature, it closes the prompt and just displays the previously focussed password settings page like nothing happened. and the passwords seem to sit somewhere else, I'm not logged into any website on the new Mac. Unfortunately, the cookies or log in tokens etc. Even the bookmarks show up correctly, awesome.

To my surprise, it actually does show all the different profiles on the new Mac which is good. To mirror my current Chrome environment to the second Mac, I have quit Chrome on both devices and then airdropped the whole ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome folder and put it in the same place on the new Mac. and the Chrome profile switcher is very helpful at that. I manage a lot of social media profiles and therefore have a lot of chrome profiles to manage different business logins, email addresses, instagram profiles etc. To have a backup to my main Mac, I bought another one with basic specs.

Does macbook have google chrome
