Quick answer: Sign into Chrome with your Google account on the new PC and enable sync — all synced passwords will appear automatically. If sync was not enabled, export a CSV from the old PC and import it on the new PC.

Steps on the new PC:

  1. Install Chrome on the new PC
  2. Click the profile icon → Sign in to Chrome
  3. Sign in with the same Google account you used on the old PC
  4. If prompted, turn on sync and confirm passwords are included
  5. All synced passwords appear within seconds

Verify sync was on: On the old PC, go to chrome://settings/syncSetup and check that Passwords is enabled. If it was never enabled, use the CSV method instead.
