Hey all!

ive used the Migration Tool to transform a AD User to a Local User - now it seems like the Master Crypt Key has changed and Chrome is no longer able to read the old Passwords. Is there any way to get the Chrome Passwords back? The old Master-Key would be enough just that i would be able to restore the Passwords.

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately the Wizard cannot migrate encrypted data such as browser passwords, you should export these first or sync with Google (for example).

If you have already migrated this profile, you could migrate the profile back to the source account, log on with the old account, export the passwords and migrate the profile to the target account again.

Many thanks,

Support.
